2. "Hedwig" is a very cool movie!
It's brilliant.

John Cameron Mitchell is one talented guy (and quite a hottie, BTW)

I'm looking forward to his next film project. Something about sex, I believe. :-)

4. I saw the original play off-Broadway
And it is now playing in a really good production late-night in Chicago. I'm probably going to take my daughter to see it. I enjoyed the movie too, but the play is more fun.

5. Yes
I liked the movie a lot....he hosts something of IFC, can't remember what/when. His parents live in Colorado Springs (land of James Dobson) -she's a big fan of her Johnny (and religious too) and came out to support a live version of Hedwig recently.

15. There's no plot to speak of.
I mean, there's no surprise ending or anything.

Just some cool music and one terrific movie.

19. It was Mrs. Peacock in the Billiard Room with the rope.
I hope that doesn't spoil it too badly.

24. You saw ending 'B'
Ending 'A' had Prof. Plum in the Conservatory with the Pipe.

And Ending 'C' had Col. Mustard in the Library with the Wrench.

Now I've spoiled all the endings! :evilgrin:

13. Great Movie - I saw it late on September 10, 2001
at the Jacob Burns Film Center in Pleasantville, NY. The next media interaction I had was the Sports Guys on 102.7 - WNEW yelling something about a plane crashing into the WTC................

17. They threw tomatoes, so I had a nice salad...
I loved that movie. Sad, grungy, but moments of pleasure.

22. Regarding the music:
Lyrics are very clever but I thought overall the soundtrack was a bit too ballad heavy. Other than that it's excellent.

23. You're right but...
I have a thing for really painful romance. Do you have a link to the lyrics of the soundtrack?

29. Hello Bilgewater cleveland.. just try and bring me down.....
Hedwig is the best indie glam film to come down the pipe since Rocky Horror.

Party Monster is a close second, but you can't sing along to it. The music from Hedwig rocks!!!

31. No, but I did see the Toilet Boys live
at Incredibly Strange Wrestling. I heard somewhere that the lead singer of the TBs was an inspiration for H&TAI.

32. Someone here is more than a fan.
At least he used to come here, before the election.
