In Which I Fulfill the Purpose of the Internet: Spouting off on Stuff I'm Barely Familiar With!

Apparently, there is a movie version of Rent out. IMDB agrees.

However, I knew this only because the soundtracks is on sale at work. And was supposed to be in-store play this month, but apparently the big-shots decided it was too racy or something for playing in the stores. Or maybe people complained. I don't know. Makes me wonder if they even bother having anybody listen to it first, though. However, we played it once before we found this tidbit of information out. And from listening to it that time, I have to say that Rent sounds like fanfic about a romanticized view of the life of poor artists and singers and such in New York. And, apparently, almost everybody has AIDS. Which isn't to say it's bad or anything, I haven't seen it yet, but it sounds like the kind of wanktastic "literary" novels that critics love.

Or maybe I'm just bitter since when I was young and poor and a wannabe writer, my life wasn't romantic or anything. Could be either.
