let’s do the time warp again…and again

rockyhorror.jpgHa! I just noticed that they are showing Rocky Horror Picture Show here tomorrow (Halloweeeeeeeen).

On our little suburban island.

Of course, it is an 8pm show time, rather than midnight.

I saw this movie several times. The first time, my dad took me and my brother.

That turned out to be the best time. Crazy crowd, throwing things at the screen, using newspapers, dressed up as characters, singing on stage. Of course, that was Hollywood Boulevard.

Wonder if they do that here. Do the kids go to these things?

Or is it like attending a Bonnie Raitt concert with all my peers?

That could explain the early show time.

  • St. Louis has a regular running of a midnight showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. It’s well-attended, usually by college kids. Good fun!

  • It’s just a jump to the left
    And then a step to the right
    With your hands on your hips
    You bring your knees in tight
    But it’s the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane,
    Let’s do the Time Warp again!

    Ahhh…to be sweet sixteen again, sitting next to a new boyfriend at the midnight movie. I think its still playing in Lakewood where I saw it (Tacomaish). I’ve heard its up in the U-District too.

  • Found you through blogrush :)

    I LOVED going to see this as a teen…it is still running regularly in Chicago.

    I still put the album on from time to time…some terrific music…

  • Wow, Bradley, you have the album, too? I am impressed! Thanks for visiting! You’re the first to mention Blogrush — yay! I loved your eagle photos on your site!

  • I don’t know why, but I like the music to the Rocky Horror Picture Show, but I’m not a big fan of the movie/musical, per se. I don’t know why.

  • Never seen it. I don’t even like non-creepy cross-dressing musicals.

  • I have blind spots in my pop-culture vision, and “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” is one of them. I just find it boring. Same with David Sedaris. I’m sure he’s funny, but I don’t FIND him funny.

  • Oh, Jim, have you not heard Sedaris’ essay of working as a Christmas elf at Macy’s (I think)?? That IS hilarious.

  • Jim, I think the Rocky Horror Picture show is WAY boring IF you are not participating. BUT, if the crowd and you are … it can be a scream. ;-)

    and I love Sedaris. He has a Christmas letter one that I heard years ago and I still laugh thinking about it.
