1. "A wild night is now pre-ordained." ...Yeah I really don't know how that connects to chestnuts.
2. Umm...okay.
3. Ahaha. That rocks.
4. I suppose you're right, especially with the last line.
5. Wow...wow. You really have no soul.
6. Then you have shallow friends.
7. Adams? Duh na na na *snap snap* Oy Vey. Ha. They said seriousfuckingly!!1!!11 How original!
8. Cause Rent doesn't have Travolta. Mmmmm *day dreams*
9. Ah! My eyes! They buuuuuuuurrrrn!
10. Mmm. I love that picture, and I don't even think Mark/Joanne is a good pairing. Its just a hot picture.
11. D'aww. Why is that so cute?
12. Uh...sure.
13. Am I the only person in the universe that likes that song?
14. D'awww. Girl, you rock and so does your husband.
15. Tee hee.
16. Ah! Super imposing Male heads on female and canine bodies. Nooo!

18. Poor dog.
19. Yeah....I'd pay to see that.

5. Wow...wow. I have no soul because I made something up so I could meet someone I admire? WTF? I told them I had to baby-sit - not that my parents had died or something. Jesus. You have no idea how much "Without You" affected me. I would have done anything, within reason, to meet Anthony and tell him that.

LOL. I just picked it because I love watching them dance . . . and, yes, I really do wish I was her in that picture. (And I don't give a damn that I'm female and half Anthony's age, give or take a year or so. He's still one of the best dancers I've ever seen.)

I actually really liked this week.

4&20. Yay for racism. I'll make buttons.
5. Anthony was a jerk to me. I didn't forgive him. You're a better person than I.
7. You know I'd pay to see John Adam bust out Revolutionary War!Roger. Or Don Adams. Detective!Roger. Hmm...
8. I think that's because the move enhanced the show in the case of Grease, whereas in RENT, it bastardized it.
15. Oh Raul.
16. Fucking frightening. It's sad that this picture reminded me of a fic where Roger wakes up as a hot girl. Actually, it's more sad that that fic was written at all. Unlike Cary, here the dog made the first move, that scamp!
19. Owen Johnson understudies for Angel now. There is a part of me that really wants to see a pale, tubby Angel. If nothing else, but to see them try to jump up onto the table, hit their shins and be forced to crawl up.
20. Lovely. Although you'd think that Anthony's luminescence would be enough to reveal Taye a little bit...then again if those two boys are down there alone....maybe that should stay in the dark.

Sigh. You know, when I met Anthony Rapp? He was phosphorescent to me. I didn't forgive him.

Although you'd think that Anthony's luminescence would be enough to reveal Taye a little bit.

That occurred to me, but was way more photshopping than I was prepared for at midnight.

Owen has always covered Angel. He is far from "tubby".

The only reason most people are considered posers for liking RENT over teh Stage version is because most people who say they prefer it haven't even seen the stage version and they're like "OMG I know everything about the cast and RENT was made about my life and la la la i'm a silly fangirl" and do stupid shit to make them idiots.

Re: #8 schizophrenic0 December 9 2006, 16:31:14 UTC

I think it's the exact same way with Grease, though. In fact, I'd wager that none of the Grease fangirls I went to high school with (and there were a lot of them) had ever seen the live stage show or even heard an OBCR of it.

8-We actually had a discussion in my Musical Theater History class about Grease the musical vs. Grease the movie. Our teacher feels the stage show is better because it actually mocks the 50s (as it was written to do) and the movie doesn't. Personally, I don't care what you like better of any show, be it the stage version, the book its based on, or the film version. I don't think it's a big deal either way, even if I happen to disagree with you.

schizophrenic0 December 9 2006, 16:31:53 UTC

THANK YOU. That was my point. I mean, someone pointed out above me that the Grease movie enhanced the stage version, whereas the Rent movie "bastardized" the stage version. I disagree (sort of). I hate the stage version of Grease, but I love the movie. But I don't think your teacher is wrong for having that opinion - it makes sense, and she has every right to think that, and I don't think she's stupid, etc. for thinking it. But I don't think Rent was bastardized. I think some changes were good changes. Some weren't. It works on film, so if you like it, but the stage version isn't quite your cup of tea, that doesn't mean you're stupid or whatever the community at large seems to think.
