No, no, no,no,no. Please do not give into the candy corn musicals. I know the people you speakof. They have seen all these movie musicals and memorized them down to the director's name, which they think makes them a musical thatre fan, or a theatre fan in general. They start giving themselves catchy nicknames like Rent Head's or obsess over Idina Menzel. Let me be the first to tell you, they are not theatre fans. Rise above the siren songs! Be a true theatre fan! This requires you only to appreciate the arts. Go see a show or a ballet, and better than becoming obssesed with it, respect it and the people who put it on. I understand your desire to fit it, but you don't want to become one of them. Respect the art form, don't obsess over it. And by doing this, you will eventually have seen every movie and more and know more trvia facts about it than they ever will. Take my advice. Jane Marie

Well, atm, all I hear people talking about is some Twilight movie. Dunno what it's about, all I know is it's based off some extremely popular book.

I would have to say the movie that is all the rave for high schoolers right now is Twilight. It's a romantic movie with a regular girl and a boy that everyone knows but doesn't dare talk to b/ c he and his family are different. she takes an interest in him when she sees how he reacts around her and as their relationship progresses, she figures out what he really is. . .that's right - you guessed it - a Vampire. but no joke it's a really good book series and from an avid twilight series reader - the movie lived up to it so i would recommend seeing it cause it's pretty much amazing
