I'd love to know if there is anything that unites people who like Rent from those that don't. Because as a former theater nerd I had a ton of people tell me that Rent was the NEXT BIG THING and I would love it.

saying 'you should expect this from an adaptation of la boheme' is hardly an argument that anyone should *like* it

there was an piece on Full Frontal that quoted Jason Jones saying that she found out she wasn't even *considered* as a replacement on TDS, which obv made her decision easier.

I wondered several times if it would work better having seen the first few seasons, but I wasn't interested enough to go back and watch them.

"The fifth season was arguably The Good Wife’s best"

holy crap. way to not be timely, AVC

I wonder if this is a better use of the material:

but….if he's not a good writer they didn't have to publish his book.

"But 'Horace and Pete' is a full on TV production with four broadcast cameras, two beautiful sets and a state of the art control room and a very talented and skilled crew and a hall-of-fame cast. Every second the cameras are rolling, money is shooting out of my asshole like your mother's worst diarrhea."

given that the person I was responding to was discussing the script, I can't imagine what your issue is with my comment.

I get that that's the consensus, but I find it so weird, because CHildren of Dune I found boring as all get-out, but once I got past that I enjoyed the next books much more

it's the same movie

I had a friend who went to New Orleans and looked her up in the phone book and stopped by her house in 1990. He said she invited him in for tea and they had a nice chat.

so how much time is left after the alien reveal? it isn't 'reveal-cut to black'?

and if it means they're all about alien invasion, that kinda ruins the entire point of this script, right?

there a skeleton of a good movie in that script, but boy are large chunks of it clunky.

he was living in the bunker *before* the invasion?

in this universe both things happened? NYC was overrun by a giant monster and Chicago was poisoned by martians?

dangit. I'm gonna have to decide how much knowing the ending will 'ruin' this for me

did it still end with the movie becoming something it hadn't been up to that point?
