I first saw the musical version of RENT in Broadway in December of 1996. The movie didn't come out until nearly a decade later.
What the movie did, however, that the musical did not, was give the story a specific time frame. The movie starts of Christmas Eve, 1989.
This is all fine and dandy until the song Today 4 U comes up and Angel, the transvestite street drummer mentions the movie Thelma and Louise. Thelma and Louise premiered in 1991; two years after 1989.
Someone messed up.

oohhh...good catch! You're such a taskmaster! I've never seen either. I was totally turned off by every single girl in my college dorm blasting the soundtrack and singing along. They even had the posters. Ugh.
Something to remember, it's a MOVIE. Fiction, not a historical artifact. So, a piece of fiction based in a fictional timeframe refrences another piece of fiction...
Does it all really matter???
