Kenga is watching Rent. I just had to share.
Bet he can't sit through the whole thing. At least I really, really hope so.
Damned cable.
Postscript:
He lasted 15 whole minutes. It was pure torture. Then he changed the channel. Now we know all about living in New York. Everyone sings, there, did you know? Such a happy place.

I wanted to keep that singing thing secret and was thus really pissed off when the movie came out. I love living in this land of music. Lucky me, I live in a Bangladeshi neighborhood, so life is like a Bollywood movie. The singing makes everything wonderful and happy. It also makes things much safer -- it's hard for a gang of thugs to mug you when they are obliged first to sing and dance with the knives they plan to dice you up with...
Now see, that would make the NYC tourism commission (if there is one) so happy! I just thought it was all about singing about heroin use and aids. But no, you have disabused me of this notion!
And with all of that dancing, everyone must be thin and pretty too!
i love bollywood films.
There's nothing like a wet sari, no kissing, song and dance routines, and an elephant to keep the heart young.
Especially if it all occurs in Brooklyn.
They don't do that sort of thing in Brooklyn. It all happens here in Queens -- Brooklynites are too uptight and worried about stuff like converting the old navy yard into a shopping mall and trying to lure Wallmart into their borough.
what has happened to Crooklyn? if that's true (up above), we need to get Spike back in the neighborhood. what's BedStuy like now? I want Sal's Famous to be rebuilt. I do. Even though it's fictitious.
Does Spike still have the edge, though? Or has he become part of the establishment by now? (And I mean these sincerely, not as digs- I just don't know!)
a lot of people are down on him for directing his latest, Inside Man, (a Brian Grazer/Imagine Production), but I feel: more power to him. I think Spike has never lost his edge--check out Bamboozled, or his HBO Katrina documentary. I love Spike. Always have, always will. BedStuy Barbershop--We Cut Heads is the very first film by him that I saw (his student film at NYU), THEN came She's Gotta Have It, and I never looked back. Spike and Marty Scorsese and Coppolla, for me, are the quintessential American directors still working.
