  • I would love it if someone would E-mail me or this website for info on the following: the R+J postcards any books having to do with R+J, Claire, or Leo a place to get back issues of Seventeen, YM, Teen with articles having to do with R+J, Claire, or Leo and especially... I have been hearing so much about this "Hollywood USA" place. Tell me about it! Where is it? Do they have a Catalog? Can I order on the Net, via Fax machine, on the phone? Also, any other store having signed R+J things. I know there are signed pictures, but how about a signed script? And finally, at On Cue in Ohio, I bought the Romeo and Juliet video for only $9.99, just in case anyone is interested in getting it for discount rates.

  • I saw the preview for Titanic at the movies yesterday..Leo looks really hot and Kate Winslet is pretty. It looks like an excellent movie. Even my parents wanted to see it.
    ---Leoluver
  • Entertainment Tonight Preview of Titanic talked about James Cameron, and what he had to do with the film, but they also interviewed Leo (which, at the time had long hair, since he was filming MITIM, it was kinda wierd to see him like that! I don't think its all of his real hair though) and they also interviewed Kate. Some great previews though. Just thought you would want to know.

  • I'm the one who works at Blockbuster and I just want all interested parties to know that Romeo and Juliet is Number One in Video sales, at least that's where it is on our Top Twenty. Cool! Oh, and I was wondering if I was the only one who got swindled into buying another Fox release for only 6.99. As if I don't have enough money that I need to own That Thing You Do!, too. Damn them salesmen! They're too good!
    ---Kristen
    Note from B--I had the offer to buy another Fox release for 5.99 or 6.99 at suncoast when I picked up R + J!!

  • Thanks to Stacy for telling about Hollywood USA... Its about a 30 min drive for me... so me and my friend drove up there... THANKSSOO much!!! I bought a 5x7 b/w of the hand kiss (when they first meet) for 5.00 and a color pint with Romeo and Juliet kissing and the words from the movie...ILOVE THEM! They were all out of Romeo and Juliet postcards, keychains, and t-shirts... owell... I saw the signed pictures with Claire and Leo ($250) and almost DIED! Also, there is a poster store at Pier 39 in San Franciso called Poster Source (Ithink) and they had about four posters of Leonardo and Romeo and Juliet... I bought this beautiful one of Romeo sitting under the Grove of Sycamore close up, in his suit. theres a reddish orangish light coming from behind him... then underneath him, It say "Romeo" in big letters, then the words, "William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet" It was 9.95. They have the Romeo fishtank one for 8.50 If anyone knows where to get the keychains and/or postcards, please email me.

  • In the September issue of Elle magazine, there is a short article on Claire! It is part of the Elle 25 (it's like, stuff/people that are cool, or something like that! Claire is number 25). Anyway, the article is titled, "Claire Danes.. Grown Up, At Last". It talks a little about R + J, mentions a couple of things, like (I don't know if ya knew this) Juliet's hair was only a wig! And they call her somewhat of a young Meryl Streep, and mention her upcoming films.. Just thought you'd like to know! Oh yeah, and if anyone knows the name of the catalog where the ring and/or necklace is in, can they e-mail me?

  • I saw the weekend edition of Entertainment Tonight Fall an dWinter movie preview. And they had a preview for Harold Perriona's (sp?) aka. Mercutio, new movie The Edge. They also had a short preview for TITANIC showing only a second of leo, but he looked great. They also Had a preview for Jared leto's new movie, I can't remember the name, but he plays a killer hitch hiker. The reson i bring that up is because like me i know that there are a lot of people that loved him on MSCL. I only saw the last half an hour so i might have missed more movies. I also noticed in an Excess Baggage commerical, in the background the song "Sedated" was being played. That was the song that Jordan's band played on MSCL (the episode where Rayanne sings in the band.) I also got my copy of ROMEO and Juliet!! I AM SO HAPPY!!!!

  • If anyone has seen the image of R+J in the pool and the underwater kiss on anything (poster, postcard, photos, etc.) PLEASE email me with the details coz i'd love to get my hands on them since i haven't seen anything with those two images.
    Also, at the store where I got the wedding poster I saw an actual postcard (not the magazine postcards) of the style A poster (the one with guns and R+J kissing in the middle). It's from the same people who made the wedding poster. they're called Box Office and they're based in England. If anyone has seen the postcards please email me.

  • I read on the website that some people whose messages you posted saw or owned a ring and/or necklace that are similar to the ones from the movie. Both were seen in catalogs, but neither person could be written e-mail too...was wondering if you knew how I could get my hands on one of those catalogs?

  • I need help here! Everyone keeps mentioning these magazines that have Juliet's ring in it or Juliet's necklace or whatever, but what drives me crazy is that they never mention an address to the magazine so the rest of the less fortunate world can get their hands on it. So, I'm begging everyone down on my hands and knees, licking your boots and pleading insanity, for SOMEONE to send me the address to any magazine that has that kind of stuff in it. I believe someone named Kat had emailed B a while back and said the new issue of "Service Merchandise" had the ring in there.

    Also, did anyone happen to see Entertainment Tonight on Saturday Aug. 23? It was the Fall/Winter movie preview. I turned it on the last 10 minutes of it. I'm sure they had something about Titanic, U-Turn, and The Rainmaker. If anyone saw it please e-mail me!

  • While watching the first part(maybe 20-25min.) of Conspiracy Theory my eyes wandered up to the corner of the screen. There in the middle of Times Square was a huge sign promoting Romeo and Juliet! I turned to my friends to show them, but by the time I did it was gone, and they all thought I was crazy. It was there though!Therefore, I'm guessing that Conspiracy Theory must have been filmed around October or November.

  • The only R+J thing I was able to get in Russia was a Russian version of R+J poster style B (international). Instead of tragedy postcard it has vengeance postcard (Montague boyz with guns on the beach). I got it for free at the theater (the movie was just released here). I had to beg them to give it to me. The soundtrack covers are absolutely the same as in the US. I think that photo might be the Japanese version, cause I got Japanese volume 1 in N.Y. with a different cover. I wonder if their volume 2 has some bonus tracks.

  • I picked my R+J video up yesterday and i was sooooo happy i thought i'd never get it...also people have been asking about the necklace and the ring...you can get the ring at some Service Merchandise stores and a necklace similar to juliets as well, i saw the ring in the new cadalog on page-104, its not the exact some but its looks really close to it

  • I got the R + J video and it gets better every time! It's true, I think R+J has reached cult status. I hope that R+J makes it onto the Top Ten Video List. I'll definitely be checking my Entertainment Weekly when I get it on Saturday( I wonder if it will be in this week's or next?). I was kind of disappointed that the Mundy Video wasn't on the end of this tape like it was on the Rentals. Oh well, I'm not going to complain too much, at least I have R+J, and that's all that matters!

  • Just wanted to tell you that Leonardo DiCaprio was on American Journal a few days ago! They were talking about how his first big break Was "Growing Pains" and they showed some clips of Romeo and Juliet. They also talked about how he goes to clubs, and that he dated Liv Tyler, Alicia Silverstone and some other model.

  • Well, I got my R + J video at Media Play, for $9.95. I love it! I've seen this movie a few times before, and I knew it was coming, but i still jumped when Juliet shot herself, I still yelled at Romeo to lok down before he drank the poison, and i still cried when they both died..... sigh. I love this movie so much......

  • I found a wonderful ring and cross necklace in one of those Christian Faith Catalogs. Its a silver cross on a chain, with a gold ring that reads "True Love" on the cross. You can bet I'm going to find the catalog again and order it.
    I am proud to say I got the video on the ninteenth (I know i'm mailing late). I also saw the movie on opening day (sat through it twice). I got the first soundtrack the day i saw the movie. I got the second soundtrack a day early cause the cashier liked my necklace. I met a girl at camp who had the T-shirt and gave it to me, and I met someone with the candle and i bargained for it. Other than the ALL (and i mean all) the posters for sale, I've gotten my hands on several soundtrack posters by bugging the people who work at the music stores enough. I was also obsessed enough to buy those five magazines for the sheer joy of having the ten postcards. My friends found some of the stills for me for my birthday. But I have one more question. Around the time the movie came out, my best friend saw a table full of RandJ books (official ones from movie) different from the book containing the script. They were things like, understanding Romeo and Juliet, Behind the Scenes, etc. Does anyone know whethere these books are actually in exsistence?

  • A million "thank you's" goes to the people who found Hollywood U.S.A in San Francisco. I flew down there on Saturday and was able to get 2posters, mouse pad and an 8x10 wedding picture. I talked with the manager and he said they were in the process of ordering R+J mugs!!!!!!!!!!! The picture on the mug would be either the wedding picture or a fine picture of Leo. Because of the huge demand they are reordering items that have sold out (postcards and large style A poster) and ordering more stuff. I know someone already mentioned to bring a lot of money and I totally agree. I told the manager I heard about the store from a R+J web site and so he said he will add all of the new items to his web site. You can reach Hollywood U.S.A 's web site at www.hollywood-usa1.com. Their address is Pier 39, Space L-11 San Francisco, CA 94133 (415) 982-3538

  • About a month and a half ago, my sister went to a celeb party hosted by Richard Karn (Home Improvement) at Planet Hollywood in Seattle. Along with the party there was an auction. One of the items was a framed R+J (style A) poster signed by both Leo and Claire!! My sister bid on it for me, but it ended up selling for $375! If I had been there I would have left for home with it. "I am fortune's fool!

  • In reading your "R&J" page, you state that Leonard Witting hasn't been heard from since the early 1970s. If I'm not mistaken, People Magazine did an interview with him (sometime after 1988) and Ms. Hussey as a film anniversary companion piece. In the article, he stated something to the effect that he's been busy with other projects in the time since and has written a number of screenplays, one of which he claimed was a sequel to "R&J." I no longer have the article myself, but I am positive that it was People and that it appeared in either 1988 or 1993.

  • While I was on vacation, I purchaced Elvis Costello's "The Juliet Letters". It was really worth the 17 bucks because the music involves themes related to Romeo and Juliet. The songs range from letters to loved ones, an attempted connection with a deceased love (Romeo's seance), advice(I thought I'd write to Juliet), and a suicide note. Although the music is sad, it is really beautiful.
