GUILTY VIEWING PLEASURES
Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)
Info:
- Release Date: August 15, 1975
- Creators: Jim Sharman (director), Richard O'Brien (writer)
- Genre: Cross-dressing Mad Scientists
- Rating: ★★★★★
Plot:
- Dr. Frank-n-Furter, the sweet transvestite in that creepy castle down the block, is perhaps not the first person you should go to if your car breaks down in the middle of the road on a dark, stormy night. On the other hand, he sure knows how to throw one hell of a party.
Notes:
- The Denton Chapel switching seamlessly from wedding to funeral
- Riff-Raff beatific grin at Janet's "You're too kind!" line
- Socks and heels seems to be the dress code of choice at the Annual Transylvanian Convention.
- No champagne for Brad & Janet? That's just poor hosting.
- Dr. Frank-n-Furter swinging an ice pick into Eddie: "It was a mercy killing"
- Beach chairs in the theater for the floor show
- Oddly enough, I'm one of those purists who prefers to watch the movie with no audience participation
- In Science Fiction Double Feature: "Doctor X will build a creature. See androids fighting Brad and Janet." Were Riff Raff and Magenta androids instead of aliens? Another upcoming adventure?
