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.
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.
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.
They seem to be talking about some sort of "Wizard Rock" thing - rather than, for example, legions of fanfiction writers.

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
The Balcony is Closed - Roger Ebert talks about the end of the Ebert & Roeper Show (and it's beginnings.)
When talking about genres, what would be the rationale for capitalizing westerns, and not musicals, science fiction, etc.
"West" is a geographical area? The same reason you capitalize "The Old West."
Maybe failing to capitalize Western could get you shot.
In related news, I was at Fisherman's Wharf yesterday and heard the theme from The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, played on a South American flute.
I finally watched Redbelt last night. Good damn movie. I think it may have replaced Glengarry Glen Ross as my favorite Mamet movie.
