I would like, if I may, to take you on a strange journey.

This week I am gonna talk about probably the most played midnight movie ever, The Rocky Horror Picture Show. To start out this experience it was completely different that any other midnight showing I have seen to date, I am still trying to decide on how much I enjoyed the total experience. First off when I got to the theater a d purchased my ticket I was surprised the the showing was eight bucks, (compared to the regular five) and I wasn't surprised to see the theater almost completely full. I did really enjoy that a bunch of people dressed up like the characters from the film. It was like Halloween all over again, seeing people dress up in things that they would normally never wear. One of the only problems I had with the showing was that the movie was shown from a DVD copy, (I prefer to see projected movies actually on celluloid) and because of that there were no previews.

If you didn't know this movie is about a newly engaged couple have a breakdown in an isolated area and must pay a call to the bizarre residence of Dr. Frank-N-Furter. (thanks IMDb) There were plenty of cheers and applause especially when Tim Curry first made an appearance. There were a lot of things that the crowed yelled out. (some of which was not coherent) A lot of what was said was very funny, it just makes me wonder how much was said at every showing that these people have seen. It was hard for me to follow the movie at the beginning but at about the half way point most of the crowed called down and just watched the movie instead of trying to be funny. I had never seen this before so the sing a longs would have been better if I had seen the film prior to this evening. It was a great movie to see and would definitely recommend it if you like weird movies or even a musical. (I guess) The crowd interaction was great, I have never seen an entire crowd into a movie as much as this. Oh and buy the way here are some things that happened ...

An interesting title sequence.


(No Comment) I just wanted to say that people actually started throwing rice in the theater.


These two are now referred to buy everyone as Slut and Asshole, respectfully.


There's a light, over at the Frankenstein place.

Most of the people held up lighters or cell phones.

It's just a jump to the left. And then a step to the right!

With your hands on your hips... You bring your knees in tight! But it's the pelvic thrust / That really drives you insane / Let's do the time warp again! (everyone in the theater actually got up and did it)

Meatloaf had one of the best and shortest on screen presences.


Touch-a touch-a touch-a touch me / I wanna be dirty!

Chill me, thrill me, fulfill me / Creature of the night! (people were at the screen doing just that)

"Can someone get Dr.Scott a fucking fork!"

The lazer shots were amazing!


The crowd actually spun the screen.


The only thing I wish I would have done is actually seen this movie before hand, I think it would have only heightened the whole experience. Well thats gonna be all for now.

Next week: Batman Begins
