Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape  

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.

Just watched Rent. Loved it.

Were you aware of the interesting timing of this movie choice?

We are Wizards - a documentary about the "WE ARE WIZARDS profiles some of the power players in the underground Harry Potter creative community" opens in November. (They seem to be talking about some sort of "Wizard Rock" thing - rather than, for example, legions of fanfiction writers.)

And News about Sean Biggerstaff's new movie.

“Not dead yet!”

I'm thinking give the audience a 5-7 year break before it's revived on Broadway and finds itself back up for Tonys again.

Still, definitely feels like the end of an era.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Gris, I had absolutely no idea. I actually texted somebody when it finished saying "I want to see Rent on broadway." Doh.

If somebody can find a way to update the production that works, I'm in great approval of this. When I saw the current production in January it felt WAY dated. A revival needs to know that Rent's a period piece now, and it could be great.

I'd be okay with a 10 year break, though.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

I hear the Elfman movie themes in early Oingo Boingo.

The song "Try to Believe" is pretty much the basis for the entire "Midnight Run" soundtrack

When talking about genres, what would be the rationale for capitalizing westerns, and not musicals, science fiction, etc.
