Theatre-geeking trumps being coherent at work any day. The beauty of your job is that people tend to expect coffee house/donut shop workers to be brainless drop outs with nothing better to do than to sit around offering bad service, so if you act that way tomorrow, at least no one will be surprised. :D
I was very disappointed with Rent, myself. The music is phenomenal and the sheer talent of the cast was amazing. But I walked out of the theatre feeling more depressed than when I went in. If I'm gonna be gloomy when I leave the theatre, I want it to be because a movie provoked me to think about how I can change a wrong, or keep it from happening again. If Rent was meant to do that, then it didn't translate well in movie form, at least not for me. I didn't find a message in it, other than "this is our screwed up lives, let us live them".
Oh and while we're on the subject of movies... :D Have you seen Brokeback Mountain?
