Yeah, most of them didn't sound familiar. I wondered why. But I guess that's the way with movies. I mean, why the hell would you make up new mutants for the X-Men movies when there are, I imagine, hundreds in canon already? It's not like they performed any function necessary to the plot.
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Hey. New board.
Entering the second act of Rent, the only thing I'm REALLY disappointed with so far is the fact that they split the first act into several days. I like it better as one day. There are some things that are coming across quite beautifully on film. And I LOVE Rosario Dawson, I've decided, as Mimi. I was never a huge fan of Daphne Rubin-Vega's voice like some, though, so that probably makes me less likely to get pissed.
Sorry, for the non Rent-heads in the audience.

What do you think of Traci Thoms as one of the new cast?

Hey. New board.
Oh, I really like her. A lot. She's a fairly minor character, compared to some of the others, so I didn't mention. But I'm watching her biggest song right now.
And.... yeah. She rocks.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I adored her, but then, I've never seen Rent on stage.

Hey. New board.
In all three casts I've seen, Joanne has been the weakest cast member, so I'm very, very happy to see Tracie in the film.

Hey. New board.
Okay, wow.
Emotional wreck now.
I don't think it's a great film. I wish it had been given to an inspired director, instead of the world's most boring one. It needed better connections between the music and the not-music. It shouldn't have cut the end of Goodbye Love. But still. I'm so, so grateful that it exists.
Why are so many musical movies that way?

Hey. New board.
Okay. Dropping the emotional baggage (I think the entire bottle of wine I drank while watching is helping) to go to SNAKES ON A MOTHERFU--IN PLANE!
More later. Somebody else post while I'm gone, so I don't feel like I'm hijacking the thread. Please.
(OH! I meant to post the other day that I finally saw Breakfast at Tiffany's and it was very silly but I, like everybody in the world, am completely in love with Audrey Hepburn.)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Have you seen her in Roman Holiday yet? She's just ridiculously fall-in-love-withable in that.
