RENT!

[Phosphor Glow]

Sooo...out of curiosity, anyone else 'round these parts into the show or the movie? I've been a RENThead for YEARS now and I'm finally going to see the stage production of it on Tuesday...so I'm ridiculously excited about it.

So yeah...anyone else love RENT as much as I do?

...prolly not, but still.

[Non Banjoble Tokens]

Musicals are poop.

[DiBiase is Good]

I thought the film was good but a little bit pretentious at times.
But Anthony Rapp was in it, so I immediately forgive that.

[Deleted]

YES!!! Finally, another Rent fan! Rent is possibly the greatest musical of the 90's. I love it. I'm not so crazy about the movie, but the original stage show is awesome.

Anthony Rapp is one of the most awesome people ever. And Idina Menzel...and, well, dammit, I'm in love with the entire cast. Period.

And judging by your sig, you think Epic Movie is high-quality entertainment? I don't think we have anything to talk about anymore. Good day, sir.

Haha, no I don't find Epic Movie to be entertainment. I just happen to enjoy this particular scene. And musicals are still poop.

As much as I like Anthony Rapp, he will always be the perverted best friend in Adventures in Babysitting.

To each, their own.

And while I personally got into Rapp through RENT...yeah, the fact that he was in Adventures in Babysitting is also extremely awesome.

Ah not a fan of Rent. I find the characters annoying. I mean why not just give up your dream and conform even if it means crushing your soul every day until you die. Hey, it's what the rest of us do. Seriously though I think it has some good songs but it's not my musical cup of tea.

Eh, I'd much rather pursue my dream than conform...I relate to RENT quite well actually on pretty much all accounts. I'd rather not conform to anything, thanks.

No Dude I know, I was making an observation about the nature of Rent, rather than any other sort of comentary. Again it's not one of my favorite musicals (Joseph, Sweeny Todd, Guy & Dolls, Company,) to name a few, but then again it's not my least favorite, Carousel with it's pro domesic abuse storyline that just doesn't work anymore

[Phosphor Glow]

Yeah, Carousel's a little...erm...off.

But RENT is my favourite of all time. It actually changed my life, so yeah.

[MWC]

I would love to see it on stage, but it will never be around where I am. The movie was good and the music is awesome also.

Was "that storyline" from Carousel ever considered kosher?

[angryfan]

I absolute, without a doubt, HATE Rent with a deep-seeded, firy passion. Nothing against the movie/musical itself, just that my neices (ages 9 and 12) were allowed to watch the damn thing, and did so obsessively. When we were in the car, the Rent soundtrack went in the CD player. I was not just overexposed to it, I was forcefed the damn thing for months.

[D2: Sweet & Sour Edition]

I absolutely LOVE Rent...HOWEVER...



Assassins > Rent

If you haven't seen Assassins, YOU MUST!

[Firearm: Supposed Big Deal]

Assassins? A musical about assassins?

...Out unless the guys are like Altair in Assassin's Creed and the gals are like the gals in Noir. ;D

[The Line]

I'll probablty see it when I go to NYC. I didn't see it last time I went, because I think I've been overkilled on the music. But I heard its done being on broadway this summer
