	Rent seeking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rent seeking generally implies the extraction of uncompensated value from others without taking actions which improve productivity, such as by gaining control of land and other pre-existing natural resources, or by imposing regulations or other government decisions that may affect consumers or businesses.
		Rent, by contrast with these two, is obtained only when a third party, normally government, deprives one party to a transaction of access to otherwise accessible transaction opportunities, making the nominally "consensual" transaction between the other two parties a rent-collection opportunity for the second.
		Rent seeking often occurs in the form of lobbying for economic regulations such as tariffs.

	'Rent,' the film, is still a powerful gut punch (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		But, of course, the element that gives the piece its tragic dimension is the fact that half the characters are HIV-infected, and all are living under the cruel paradox that their generation is dying for embracing the love and freedom that was the promise of the '60s.
		Moreover, the film adaptation offers all sorts of targets for a hostile critic: some of the casting is weak; several of the performances are flat; much of the humor seems dated, and there's nothing especially innovative in the staging and direction.
		But the sum of the film communicates a feel for the cultural rhythms of the period, a deep affection for the characters and a unique understanding and sympathy for their place in history that, in the tradition of great musicals, progressively sweeps you away.

	In Theaters: Rent -- a Review - Entertainment News (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The film opens on an empty theater with the main characters onstage singing the musical's signature number, "Seasons of Love." After this brief introduction to their faces, we are thrust into the cold night of the story's beginnings.
		As Maureen states at one point in the film, "Angel used to say that he was lucky for knowing all of us...but we were the lucky ones." It emphasizes that these characters survive because they have friends to catch them when they fall.
		Some fans of the Broadway version may have issues with this, but I think on film, the chemistry between the new additions and the established roster is electrifying.

	Rent (2005): Reviews
		Rent isn't nearly as transporting a film as the Oscar-winning adaptation of "Chicago," but its energies and passions compensate for a lot of its deficiencies.
		Yes, Rent is the movie about AIDS, heroin addiction, homosexuality, strippers, marijuana, cross-dressing, and bisexuality audiences can take their grandparents to go see safe in the knowledge that any lingering trace of danger or authenticity has been carefully removed by director/co-writer Chris Columbus.
		Rent is commodified faux bohemia on a platter, eliciting the same kind of numbing soul-sadness as children's beauty pageants, tiny dogs in expensive boots, Mahatma Gandhi in Apple ads.

		Making the film was like coming home, says Rapp, but it was also a very emotional experience for a number of reasons, including the fact that his mother died of cancer during the show's original Broadway run.
		As devoted as the cast and crew were to making the "Rent" film a reality, there were several hurdles to overcome.
		In the mid-1990s, "Rent" was very much a part of the cultural zeitgeist, but some critics had wondered if it was becoming something of a period piece in the new Millennium.

	Amazon.de: Rent: Musik: Original Soundtrack,Jonathan Larson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		With thirty minutes of dialogue, much of which is taken from songs that were cut, the movie soundtrack for "Rent" has less songs (28) that the cast album (43).
		Director Chris Columbus ended up casting six of the original eight stars of "Rent" for his movie version, and one thing this album has going for it is that they have brought a decade's worth of experiencing signing these songs plus to this recording.
		There is a complaint to be made that the soundtrack has a studio recording of "Over the Moon" by Idina Menzel as Maureen Johnson, versus the live track she recorded during the film.

		Rent, a contemporary New York update of Puccini's La Boheme, made its Broadway debut in 1996.
		Rent stars six of the original eight cast members, among them Jesse L. Martin, who plays a cop in Law and Order, and Taye Diggs, who appeared in How Stella Got Her Groove Back and Chicago.
		That the film has kept faith with the performers is commendable, even if they might seem a little older than the characters they portray.

		The film stays true to Larson's vision, Rapp explained, thanks in large part to director Chris Columbus, who had been deemed somewhat of an unlikely choice to direct the film given his past blockbuster bravado.
		AR: We just saw the film just about a week ago, and I was just blown away. It has so much subtlety in it, and quiet moments. My brother is a novelist and we often talk together. He can articulate it better than I can.
		He has several independent films in the can, and is attached to two musicals: "Feeling Electric" and "Pretty Dead Bulb." He'll also appear in a special tenth year anniversary concert of "Rent" in Manhattan in April 2006.

		If you don't remember Rent, and/or have eighties nostalgia, you might want to spare yourself watching the film-friendly version, because it just won't make enough sense for it to make the kind of impact it's meant to.
		They have the most chemistry of the film's couples, and play their songs with the conviction and fun note-perfect.

	Playbill Features: Long-Awaited Release of “Rent” Film Completes Decade-Long Journey
		As millions around the world eagerly await the release of the much-anticipated film of the Pulitzer Prize-winning show, the film’s cast — some of whom have been associated with the piece since its inception a decade ago — began making the regular rounds of press junkets and publicity events that accompany a major studio release.
		Shaping the film version of Rent meant that the filmmakers were able to zero in at close range on the relationships that make the show’s characters so endearing to audiences.
		For the actors and artists who worked to bring the film into being—both those who have been with the show since day one and those who only recently became involved—carrying out the author’s ideas was just reward for their efforts.
