The groupies that abound RHPS type events are all whack-jobs. Perhaps I never grew onto the 12 midnight showings of this film during my early twenties, or the live stage shows, because well, its like Gallagher, why would anyone be interested.
I love musicals, I love nutty, insane, brilliant and not so brilliant films. (Wilder, not Depp).
Transients, drug users, queens and flamboyant lots, eccentric film buffs of all shady styles, cross dressing wall street stiffs, kids at heart, Parrotheads.that common bond that can make Rocky Horror have a very broad flavor of fans. Richard Obrien and Tim Curry's talent not withstanding, let the mess of this film have its bloodbath of rave reviews from gender-bending, egotistical, self centered, pompous jerks, who parade around like its Carnival in Rio; and the tacky, boring, mindless film can attest to that following and lend its hand onto perhaps a new, more accepting myspace, emo culture who will eat it up and ask for seconds almost immediately.
DooLittle, even sort of loved Moulin Rouge, not quite, but almost and of course Willy Wonka. Rocky Horror is the kind of movie that wants to sit next to films like 'Donnie Darko', 'Something Wicked This Way Comes', 'Almost Famous', perhaps even next to 'Queen's Live at Wembley Stadium', (for the cult appeal), however the only place it will find a spot in my heart for is a review on Amazon.
In 1975, if memory serves, Rocky Horror was invented and the musical comedy, no doubt to your knowledge became a super-cult crave following all over the globe. Love Oliver., Love the Sound of Music, even the sleeper Newsies, love the 'can't sing for squat', talented Rex Harrison in Dr.
