Sheila and I rented RENT last night (because we are both pretty poor) and watched it and all of the extras. I fell asleep through the featurette because I was dead tired, but what I saw of it was really touching.
When I got home I watched Boston Legal, and then Vannessa (who hadn't seen RENT) and I watched it. She said that she enjoyed it, but that Season's of Love will haunt her dreams. I watched it once more today with commentary by Chris Columbus, Anthony Rapp and Adam Pascal before I had to bring it back to the movie store.
So in celebration of RENT on DVD I bring you a picspam featuring the men of RENT (because they are all so gorgeous).
Taye Diggs
As Benny in RENT.
Adam Pascal
As Roger in RENT.
He looks like he's pouty. Cheer up your hubby, Sheila. No, not Greg Kinnear, this one.
Jesse L. Martin
As Collins in RENT.
Wilson Jermaine Heredia
As Angel in RENT.
I've seen this shirt somewhere before. . .
AHHA! Anthony Rapp is wearing it. How suspicious.
Anyways,
Very impressive indeed. And what's this? He's not really gay? Hmm.
Anthony Rapp
(My favourite!)
As Mark in RENT.
Anthony with Adam.
I LOVE his hair, and eyes, and his scruffy stubble and his thin lips (like Gary Oldman!) and. . . him.
Misc. Movie Pics
This scene is one of the greatest, and the song is so fun! LA VIE BOHEME! Don't touch him, Maureen, you whore!
Angel and Collins are so sweet.
What's a musical without a group tango scene? I'm listening to Tango Maureen right now, in fact. Oh Mark, I wish I could dance with you and sing about how Maureen "f***ing cheated". I starred it out because I'm a child.
"Merry Christmas, bitches!" According to the commentary Jesse adlibbed that line, and every take he would say something different. I want it on a shirt, like they discussed. ( I realize that this isn't the scene where he says it, but it's pretty much the same.)
This is one of the few pictures I could find of Angel where he/she wasn't in drag. Either way, they are both so lovely together.
More Actor Pics
I love Anthony's redhair and how you can barely see his eyelashes and eyebrows.
Wilson and Adam. Wilson looks different in this picture for some reason. It's probably the glasses.
Anthony and random people. I don't know what's happening, but it makes me smile.
Idina Manzel (Maureen) and Taye Diggs are married in real life. They met when they did RENT on stage. Aww. I still dislike Maureen. Oh yeah, and Anthony is in the picture too *^_^*
This must be when they were doing the play. Heh.
Here are more of Anthony Rapp because I heart him:
He's so little. Aw.
Elton John! I love your work!
Aww, look at his floppy hair.
HAHA! What? He's such a nerd. (Ignore the watermarks)
And finally:
Mr. Rapp in Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Hot as a waffle!
According to his new book he is 'bisexual but leaning more towards gay' so there is still hope for me!
No, there isn't.
MAN. I wish I had pictures of the 40-something random.
