    Yep, it's 'ancient'!

    The 'Time Warp' is oddly still cool?

    I watched an interview with Christopher Biggins a while back and he said they were stoned solid for 12 weeks filming it

    never would have guessed that:rolleyes::pac:

    Christopher Biggins is in it?:eek:

    And i just see it says Meatloaf is in it too. Only one i can recognise is Susan Sarandon:o

    Didn't the Classic cinema in Harold Cross cater for the Rocky horror crowd every friday evening before it was re zoned as a rat infested waste ground?
    Where do all those characters go now?

    OK as clearly the outlier here (and in the real world), I thought it was shíte at the time(near enough), a bit daft with the Classic cinema tradition(And I did go twice. It engendered a tradition which is always nice, but not for me) and really couldn't nor can't see the deal with it at all. I find it amateur(in a bad way) , naff to the nth degree(but not in an ironic fashion) and just... well... crap? Oh and beyond the timewarp song which is borderline at best, bereft of musical value. Kinda like Gilbert and Sullivan for the late 20th century and I always though them equally shíte and banal. I can see some Sideshow Bob in the future referencing the flick and I may be smiling, but at them, not with them. Completely passed me by I have to say.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    I'd still put it head and shoulders above utter beige guff like Glee. A little damned by faint praise though. That's a bias on my part though as I would be happy as a pig in shíte if I could set off claymore mines pointing at the cast and writers of glee. Though if I had stakes in voice processing software and various back catalogues I may well sing a different autotune.

    :D or maybe because I'm not square I find it too beige for my liking? Either way Glee is shíte of the highest degree and though I may not get the Rocky Horror show, I would still put it in a different league to crap like Glee. I attempted to watch an episode of same and all I can say is that Harvey Norman missed out when I switched off 10 mins in, as otherwise he would have flogged me a telly as a side effect of me wearing my urrent telly as a boot. God it is soooooo awful.

    If we ever end up with a voting system based on a meritocracy, we could winnow out much of the chaff by asking them; "Do you like Glee?" If they say no, then "here's a voting card". If they answer in the affirmative? "Fcuk off and here's a mop, the toilets have backed up, but as a consolation here's a Celine Dion MP3 free gratis".

    WHY would you put that in anything associated with RHPS??:eek: Glee's ruined enough decent music for me, let alone a favorite film
    (that said Chris Colfer's version above there is just heart breaking :o)

    Well with Take That reforming I reckon we just poison the hair gel stocks.

    Still they changed a lot of the lyrics of the songs from RHPS for Glee, 35 years later and it's still seen as subversive and dangerous.



    Still Tim Curry is a God.

    B8stards all, I kinda tolerate Glee when the Wimmisn watch it here, but some of that is unforgiveble

    Anyway Timewarp is a bit overdone as a song, I always liked the Sword of Damaclese or Toucha Toucha Touch me.

    Here, if we're gonna play

    'Like a Version'
