La Vie Boheme, Where We Only Drink Diet Coke

November 23, 2005 -- It's here -- RENT, the movie!

"... Last night I had a dream. I found myself in a desert called Cyberland. It was hot. My canteen had sprung a leak and I was thirsty. Out of the abyss walked a cow - Elsie. I asked if she had anything to drink. She said, "I'm forbidden to produce milk. In Cyberland, we only drink Diet Coke."

I just found out that Rent is being made into a film and will be coming out just before Thanksgiving this year. I can't wait! I have loved this show for about 9 years now -- it's absolutely beautiful and amazing. But one of the coolest things is that the movie actually contains a lot of the original cast members which is utterly fabulous -- the very voices I have been singing along with on my overplayed, horribly worn out soundtrack album since I was in high school. It'll be interesting to see what they do with the cinematography on this one. It has a lot of potential, but hopefully it won't detract from the genius of the stage performance and disappoint.

2 months from tomorrow -- the countdown has begun!
