ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW

[Gagh]

I've never liked it. From the first time I've seen it, to the half a dozen times I've tried to sit down and watch it since, telling myself "It's a classic. Maybe it will grow on you."

It's just too camp & OTT for me.

The movie itself is shit, IMHO. The experience of seeing it with a crowd that knows the responses, knows when to throw what, people in drag making out in the back row (fuck you back row! fuck you front row!)... that's what makes the movie great, not the movie itself.

For instance:

CROWD: DESCRIBE OPRAH WINFRY'S BREASTS!

NARRATOR: ...for it was thick, black, and pendulous.


Dr. Franken-furter is face down dead in the pool

CROWD: LOOK, IT'S THE COVER OF THE NEW NIRVANA ALBUM!!!

I think the appeal, at least for me, stemmed from my love for MST3k, where a bad movie can be made good by the wit of the people watching it. IMHO, of course.

Sounds like fun, yes.
