So, Rocky Horror Picture Show was yesterday/the wee hours of this morning.
=D
It was a lot different from what I had expected, but that's not entirely a bad thing. The theatre was incredibly tiny. It was about a quarter of the size of a normal theatre I'm used to, if that.
All through yesterday, from the morning to after the show itself, Paula couldn't make up her mind whether she loved it or hated it. She woke me up by sending me a text message "ROCKY HORROR TONIGHT! I CAN'T WAIT!", and alternated through the day between that and "Oh my god it's so weird/scary/creepy this is all your fault Joy." I still don't know what she finally settled on.
Jule couldn't come with us, but I'm not sure if he would have liked it anyway. It might have caused him psycological scarring. I had a blast though.
I both laughed my ass off more and experienced more f-bombs than any night in years. There weren't many of the callbacks that I'd previously read about or heard, but that made a lot of it funnier.
The guy who played Frank sat next to us for the first part of the movie and yelled out some great stuff. =D
The "virgin sacrifice" was kind of lame. The under-18s (of which there were happily quite a few) had whipped cream sprayed in our mouths and we had to sing the Spongebob Squarepants theme song. I got whipped cream on my Freezepop shirt, but it was hardly public humiliation.
The others drew penises on the chests of the guys with whipped cream. That was good.
...I'm writing this entry based on notes I scribbled down at 3am last night in my paper journal, which is mostly just a list of my favourite callbacks. So, should I list?
Some of the lines were Cincinnati-specific, which was pretty great.
"Where do you get your pot?"
"Columbia!"
"I get mine in Over the Rhine!"
"You see,"
"Xavier!"
Windshield wipers - When Brad and Janet are driving in the rain, one moves their hands back and forth in the air chanting "Asshole, slut! Asshole, slut!". Then, there are variations on the winshield wipers: e.g. "Windshield wipers on acid!" *waves hands around all wiggly-like* ...I can't remember any more. Anyway...
"Windshield Wipers on Marge Schott!"
"Seig heil!" *Nazi salute*
*Magenta and Riff elbowfuck with Dr. Scott in between them*
"In Cincinnati, the handicapped are always getting screwed over."
More callbacks!
*Dr. Scott busts through the wall*
"Oh yeah!"
"Magenter? Who the fuck's Magenter?"
Not only does the Criminologist have no fucking neck... He also has a pussy for a chin and a diabolical chicken has stepped on his forehead.
The guy who played the Criminologist did a bunch of the smaller parts, so had to make some quick costume changes. In one scene, he apparently couldn't change fast enough so he came on with his tie and an unbuttoned shirt.
"Did the Crim get laid or something?"
In this scene all the neck jokes were changed to "chest". Ahahaha.
Some of these things are probably "you had to be there" jokes. Bear with me.
"And I've seen... Blue skies"
"This movie too many fucking times!"
...Man, there were so many other great ones. But I've forgotten them. Throwing stuff wasn't allowed, so sadly there weren't many/any props. There could have been noisemakers, gloves, flashlights... But alas no. They were selling birthday hats outside for a quarter though so I bought one and wore it with pride. Hah.
"Two shows for the price of one! The Rocky Horror Picture show and CATS!"
As we left the theatre, we were goodbyed with "Hope you come again tonight." Think about it for a second. It might have just been the completely straightfaced and normal way he said it, but it took me halfway to the parking lot to understand. XD
Bottom line: Absolutely utterly completely different from watching at home. In some ways better, in some ways not as good. I don't think you can enjoy the movie for the movie's sake at a midnight showing, but you will definitely enjoy it for the experience and the callbacks. I advise to watch it in the comfort of one's own home first.
And any participation scripts you may read or listen to will be NOTHING LIKE the real thing. So you have no excuse not to go.
~Joy wants to go again. Doesn't know if Paula'd be up for it though.
PS: I can't believe I forgot this one! It was by and far my favourite!
"This laser is capable of emitting a beam of pure anitmatter."
"Then it's not a fucking laser, is it?!" |
