I’ll get around to reviewing all the crap* I’ve been watching on dvd and tv (no, not too much of that — just the essentials!) — in the meantime, I really must ask the question: are you a Rocky Horror virgin?
Aaand… update: lucky!
One more: aw… sweet!
*Okay, just some of it. Most of it isn’t worth thinking about, much less writing about, even in as inconsequential a blog as this.

Unfortunately, I have seen that horrible, horrible film, most of the way through.
I have not and never shall see it “performed”.

Aw man, you’re no fun. π

Nope, I’m no fun at all, ask anyone!
Well, mostly I just hate musicals. And audience participation.
(I don’t like Plan 9 From Outer Space either.)

Actually, I’m the same way. But the whole Rocky Horror thing was one of those you-had-to-be-there things; a fixture of my 80s life. Whenever my friends and I were bored on a Saturday night we’d go to the midnight showing of the thing at the Coconut Grove movie theater (which I think is gone now — it used to be a Miami institution, which means it lasted a few years instead of being gone within a few months…)
Anyway, it was a unique experience, not to be repeated. I haven’t seen the movie in any other theater since; haven’t even watched it on dvd at home. It just wouldn’t be the same.

I worked at the Poplar Avenue theater in Memphis that had Rocky Horror on Saturday nights. The “alternative” crowd didn’t show up much on my M-F noon to 6 shift, but over time I met a few when they came in for other reasons…plus I’d waited on them at Perkins, which was right across the street. By that time I was a Navy Wife & pregnant, so Saturday night partying had lost most of its charm. Sounded like fun but not so much that I wanted to participate.

Amusing the one time but I never understood the “fixture” business; being a Carthusian for most of the 80s may have had something to do with this, ha.
