This is sort of a spin-off of the "God, I'm old" thread, but have you ever seen The Rocky Horror Picture Show [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rocky_Horror_Picture_Show]? I used to go all the time [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rocky_Horror_Picture_Show_cult_following]. They were showing it at midnight tonight at a theater in my city, just like they have been doing for over 30 years and I missed it. Ah well, next month maybe.

I haven't but I have friends who are obsessed with it.

I went to the live stage show without knowing a single thing about it. Was quite shocked before it even started, just by seeing everyone in costume. That was an eye opener and a half lol.

After the initial shock it actually turned out to be pretty funny and I quite like it

To my eternal shame, it's one of the cornerstones of Goth/General Weirdo lifestyle, and I've NEVER gone.

Though I have seen RHPS 2: Shock Treatment.

 

[Xhumed]

Yes, and I've seen the live show too. *engage smug mode. Smug mode engaged*
Oh, and root? I'm watching the episode your avatar is from right now on TV. It's awesome.

 

[Reaperman Wompa]

My parents have it on dvd somewhere. It was weird and boring. "Look it's a guy dressed like a girl who's singing about sex, HOLY F^CK!" overrated in my opinion, maybe it was just a way to be different.

Edit: thinking about it it must have been a very Wow! movie back then.

 

[Noamuth]

I've seen the movie, but never been a live show. Great movie, though.

I have two friends, sisters, whose parents named them Magenta and Columbia from the movie. So adorable. XD

and bend your knees in tiiiiime!

 

[PurpleRain]

Yes, ahh the good ol' days.

Ok, I'm only 18, but it still rocked. Damnit, now I have the song stuck in my head.

 

[TriGGeR_HaPPy]

I confess that i have not seen the "stage version" of Rocky Horror Picture Show...

But i've seen the movie, that's good enough

*penny drops* Oh wow. It is eh? I thought it was a lego man but now it makes perfect sense.

Sorry very off-topic.

 

[Danny Ocean]

I saw it when I was 14. We were all required to watch it before we acted it.

That's when I quit drama club.

 

[_Lucca_]

Oh yes. In Cambridge they used to frisk patrons before letting us enter the theater since they were trying to be fairly strict about the "no making a mess" rule...but toast and lighters and cards ended up finding their way inside anyhow.

*is appalled* If they find out, they'll repossess your black, crushed-velvet shirt! Either that or drag you to it and sell you off at the virgin auction.

Oh, well, then I guess it's ok.

No, it was pretty much considered trash then too. It's all about audience participation. Watching it at home without the audience participation is like watching a Spielberg movie no soundtrack.

Hey, who turned out the lights?

If they ever produce one of the Ghost-Recorders, I am so getting one.

Oooh, and the Vashta Nerada are now at the Doctor Who exhibit!!!!!!!

I swapped my shirt for the archetypal black leather armchair and a cat.

I saw it, over and over again. Not of my own will mind you, that was just what the people I hung out with when I was a kid liked to watch.

Now, go watch Pink Flamingos [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069089/] by John waters.

Only if you can guarantee me audience participation.
