ROCKY HORROR SHOW - PLEASE EXPLAIN !!!! - Page 2

Leonie · 29 Aug 2006, 17:16

I first saw a stage production of the rocky horror show in Melbourne Australia when I was 17 and loved it. I first saw meat in 1978 when I was only 13. I never actually saw the movie of rhps until my mid twenties and had loved Meat and Rocky horror seperately. You can imagine how ecited I was when I finally saw the movie and found out that my 2 favourite music things were linked!! I have a very old vhs copy of shock treatment that I got from a video shop that was closing down. I have never been able to find it on dvd though. You would like it if you are a died in the wool fan as i guess you are.It starts off after Brad and Janets divorce, and is set in a t.v. studio set andBarry Humphries ( an Australian Comedian/actor) plays the T.v. gameshow host. It is very cult!

The Shock Treatment CD is just now becoming available (as a nonbootleg item). It has been released in the UK. It is coming out in America very soon.

WOOT!

Tim Curry is almost as sexy as me when I'm dressed in my outfit ... so I'm told. Though I doubt that's true - I'm way sexier! My purple boa is just, just, oooooh!

Crazy film, crazy people. Crazy is good! :)

JANET: If only we hadn't made this journey!
AP: BUT YOU DID!
JANET: If only the car hadn't broken down!
AP: BUT IT DID!
JANET: If only we were amoungst friends or sane persons!
AP: TWO OUT OF THREE AIN'T BAD!

I love RHPS especially for its theatre like quality

Especially nearing the end. I love the entire movie, all my friends rave about it too. Most of them are Meat fans too. Meat fans become RHPS fans RHPS fans become Meat fans. Not always, but everybody loves Eddy

And if you ARE a fan of Shock Treatment, it was released on DVD for the first time a couple of months ago

Must get round to seeing it myself sometime

MeatGrl1 · 10 Sep 2006, 17:02

It's cool!
Have worn my VCR out so I am glad they released it on DVD

Found this movie on ITV 3 or 4 last night by accident after Last Night of the Proms, turned it over just in time to see Meat!

One advice for people who have not seen Shock Treatment...do not go into it expecting to see a typical "sequal" of sorts. It is a very different type of film, but still super cool in every way. Ritz was absolutely brilliant working within the extremely limited confines he was given. Shock Treatment...not a sequal, not a prequal, but an equal!

One thought on Rocky Horror Picture Show for the ones who just dont "get it" at all. There is an extremely great amount of the essence of the project that is totally lost in translation when you sit alone in a quiet room watching it. Rocky Horror is a musical that really does have a life of its own that has a need and a desire to be experienced in a group setting.

you have to go see it in a theatre eveyone dresses up it awesome.

I totally agree with you on this one! I have the honor of looking out over a crowd of people all dressed up like the movie on a weekly basis. It is a beautiful thing.

Most people that I know who are into Rocky Horror, are either single or sexually confused, not that that's an issue or anything, but I'm neither and I just don't 'get it'. Saying that, I'd probably go see a live production if one was local and get dressed up, but as suggested I'd need to go in a group to fully appreciate it I think.

I like watching it at home, even, (great if you are planning on kids)... I can't wait to break my AP virginity at the end of the month... I just wish it was easier to get my hands on fishnets and the full outfit.

To whomever began this thread, it took me about 6-7 viewings (privately) over about 2 years, before I fully appreciated the film... keep at it, and understand that it is a satire of every film ever made, and you'll understand eventually.
