I think I'm going to go see RENT tomorrow.

I'm out of it right now, for various and sundry reasons, up to and including my current hatred of my reproductive bits. Some days, the best way of dealing with that is going to see a horribly depressing movie, bawling your eyes out, and getting it out of your system. I'm reminded of a Christmas break a few years back where I was damn near suicidal and in an attempt to cheer me up, harinezumi took me to see Titanic. Yeah think about that for a second. Tifuckingtanic. (Titfuckinganic. Sorry, had to.) Believe it or not, after the bawling, I felt a crapload better... course, having Krispy Kreme donuts right after the movie probably helped too...

Anyway. That's the plan. Going by myself, too, cause... well. I hate going to movies in company and then feeling stupid for sobbing at the end. Don't get me wrong, I really do want to see this movie, seeing as the musical's a big part of the era of NY where and when I grew up, but right now, I think I need the Kleenex therapy and it's convenient.

Right. Now I'm really going to bed.

If I was there, I'd gladly let you cry all over me. Part of me, as I think I mentioned, really wanted to see this with a native, and I don't have any handy.... And I bawled my motherfuckin' head off all three times I saw the play, so you wouldn't need to explain a thing to me.

Fair warning: They backed up the timing to '89 (I don't remember that as being canonical), so there's footage of the Towers. And godDAMN, that hurt. And this is from someone who never saw them in life.

wow. yeah... I get all nostalgic when they run really old eps of Law and order and the towers are still in the opening crawl. :(

I cried when I saw Titanic too, but for an entirely different reason.

"I'm sorry, precious hours of my life! Too many of you have been lost in vain - I hereby swear that I shall never do anything like that to you again!"

gridlore (Mr. I-Nitpick-Classic-War-Films-and-don't-get-me-started-about-recent-ones) is one of the last people you'd expect to like this movie.

He loves it. And not just because it's the perfect date movie (the first half is all romance and costumes and really hawt sex and the second half is shit blowing up).
