John Barrowman is awesome, in case you missed the memo. I am working on Torchwood icons.
Torchwood article talking about its American roots (ie. Buffy, BSG and Angel.) Yeah, we noticed.
Kevin Smith to direct an episode of Battlestar Galactica. First Veronica Mars, then Die Hard 4, then Heroes, then BSG? I kinda love this man.
Icons! Pretty Supernatural & Firefly ones and voting at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Check out this awesome diorama of Eko vs. the smoke monster.
Tonight I saw Rent
I'm generally a staunch supporter of musicals. I love flights of fancy, bursting into song-and-dance on the street. However, I found Rent to be pretty difficult viewing. They don't stop singing and I couldn't understand the words most of them time (and when I could I wished I didn't every so often - some of the lyrics were awful.) The cast was fine and most of the techniques employed weren't bad, although it suffered a bit in the stage-to-film transition. It was too long, and yet some of the characters weren't really given enough time - I couldn't figure out the point in Taye Diggs' character until I saw the deleted scenes. I kind of madly loved Jesse L. Martin in this, and my sister was sobbing when Angel died. I also kept cracking up at Adam Pascal (he looked and sounded SO MUCH like an 80's rocker that it was kind of hilarious rather than effective.) Summary: the cast was good but the film was kind of a mess - probably a show best left to the Broadway stage.
6 out of 10
ETA: Jesse and Wilson do 'I'll Cover You' at Rent 10. It's ADORABLE.
Oh lover, I'll cover you

And I love that Jesse/Wilson clip, particularly the moment when everyone breaks character at Wilson's dancing. I love that Wilson was the only one to get in costume, for Today 4 U.

That is the Rent film summed up perfectly. I do love that Chris was able to get the majority of the original Broadway cast - it would have been even worse if he hadn't, I'm sure. Especially since execs were wanting him to get the likes of Timberlake and Aguilera. Anyway, I didn't realized hadn't seen the movie yet!
Doesn't "I'll Cover You" put you in the best mood? :) Now I'm going to watch "Today 4 U" because the crowd reaction is insane. I love that it's universally known to cheer before that scene and a couple others when seeing the stage show. It puts the audience and I'm sure the casts in the best mood. All three nights I went to see the touring cast, we were cheering and of course moo-ing like crazy. :D
Lastly, Jesee L. Martin is one of my favorite people ever. I have a mad crush on him.
Goodness, Rent makes me babble...
