Oh yeah...are you keeping up with Checkmate? Cause you and I were totally right about what would ahppen:). It's almost over, just ch 18 and the epilogue left to post, and the worst is over. Just in case you were curious. :)
Have you seen/read the originals? The opera La Boheme that RENT was based on, or the book Latin Quarter (Scenes de la vie boheme) by Henri Murger (which is out of print, but available at the UCI library) that the opera was based on? Perhaps you'd like them better.
Wow you're such a good writer__fiorebellaNovember 29 2005, 00:36:07 UTC
Gosh Jess I love reading your writing...you should write in this thing more often...so...I loved Harry Potter 4, but I think i told you this on myspace. The 3rd was was great though...but I think I favored the 4th one. And hahaha I just loved all you had to say about RENT...I was never bothered by the fact that Angel killed the dog, but the rewiring of the ATM machine always did strike a sour chord with me...I'm not gonna justify Collins' robbing of the ATM machine, but I guess as someone who just lost their loved one and someone who is living with a deathly disease...there may be a sense of hopelessness that he may carry and with that hopelessness he may just have gotten to the point of not caring about ethical things anymore. Thats the only lens that I can see it from. Oh and about La Vie Boheme..I don't think they are really saying "yay to all things taboo!" I think the song is attempting to list things "shocking" or "questionable" in the world and saying...Hey this is life...take the good with the ugly...its all about balance
( ... )
I think I liked the fourth movie better because I found it stuck better to the story and left less substantial stuff out. It really bugged me that they left the entire Snape-Harry's Dad connection out of the third movie. Also, I found the dark nature of the third one stark after the second... but by thr fourth one i felt it was very appropriate.
I should be writing my thesis.
I'm making myself wait until after I get my thesis and logic test done to see RENT and I really don't want to wait anymore. But I need to graduate! blech. Anyway, I was sad to be ON UC IRVINE'S CAMPUS and not see you last weekend.
Haha! I laughed my ass off at the AIDS song in Team America. So funny as a joke on RENT! :)
