This week for my Cult TV and Film class, I was told to watch Rocky Horror.

I have never seen it all the way through, I vaguely recall watching it at a sleepover when I was younger, but I think we just talked and gossiped all the way through it!

So, lets talk about it! I have a seminar class tomorrow on it, so if I could discuss it with you awesome lot, I'd be better prepared I think!!

So, to discuss!
Do you like this movie?
What's your favourite part?
Favourite song?
Have you ever seen the live show?

Also, relevant.

You have to watch it with other people and/or in a theater to get the full effect! This is something that cannot be passed up on!

I watched it with friends the first time and it was glorious. I plan to go see it live when I move later this year, although I am terrified of the possibility of being pulled onstage.

Time Warp was my favorite song for a long time, but it has since become a tie between Science Fiction Double Feature and Over at the Frankenstein Place.

God this movie is awesome on so many levels. I'll go with Science Fiction as a personal favorite song, followed by Hot Patootie. Meat Loaf is fucking sweet.

Fun fact: I used to live two blocks from the <a href=http://www.yelp.com/biz/oriental-theatre-milwaukee>Oriental Theatre</a> which played Rocky Horror once a week, every week. They are also hold the world record for continual showings of Rocky Horror! Great flick. Better with participation!

Rocky Horror is awesome, but it's best when viewed with a live cast.

It's a group thing. For best results, it should be watched with a large group, and with a bag of props to throw at the movie screen once the appropriate cues appear in the movie.
If you watched it alone and/or without the audience participation shenanigans, you did it wrong.

then just enjoy it for the smurfing spectacle of magic it is

enjoy it purely from a musical sense. every song is smurfing brilliant. the context helps but there are some ridiculously clever lines in there.

also you're welcome (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Unl1MxubYN8) (i'm aware it's not complete :( find me a complete one on youtube kthx)

it's 7:30 in the morning and for some ungodly reason i'm awake and now i have to listen to the soundtrack before i can sleep. Thanks, guys

I'm sorry to have made you realize that. I'll be your friend :D
That being said, Shorty's suggestion of an EoFF viewing is probably the closest you'll get to properly experiencing The Rocky Horror Picture Show, short of searching for a theater that screens it regularly or having a movie night of your own.

I dig The Rocky Horror Picture Show on so many levels, and it is a great movie for many reasons. Tim Curry is definitely one of them. He's wonderful in it.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show is about freedom, and I find its message of letting go to be inspiring. I've loved it since I was a teenager, and, yes, I've been to a live show, which is an exciting experience.

Anything involving Richard O'Brien is pretty much god tier as far as i'm concerned. :heart:

Not going to lie, I was slightly sexually attracted to Tim Curry in it. He rocked.

I have never seen the movie, but I have seen a play version of it. So when Rocky Horror fans learn this, they go, "You're still a virgin!" I then inform them that at the end one of the cast announced that seeing the play counted, and that people who haven't seen the movie is no longer a virgin. This usually frustrates bigger fans of the movie, I have learned.

Science Fiction Double Feature and Rose Tint My World are the best two songs. It's an absolute classic of weirdness and I love it.

If you haven't ever seen it live and get a chance to do so... DO IT!!

It's a totally different experience live with people shouting things at the stage.

For example, the narrator says something about "there were storm clouds" followed by "heavy, dark, pendulous." In a live show, before the second part someone in the audience might shout "Describe your balls!!" ...."Heavy, dark, pendulous."

If you've got a really talented cast, they can play with the audience a lot. The narrator specifically can break the fourth wall to make the show way more interesting.

The theatre company I play for does the show annually and has even thought about doing it more frequently. Sadly, there is no trumpet part, but there are extra keyboard parts. I might try to play keyboards for the show some year.
