I wanna go, Oh oh oh oh, To the late night, double feature, [Rocky Horror Picture Show]

edited October 2011 in Social Entropy++
So I got my virginity taken last night, SE++. My Rock Horror virginity, that is.
Because what better fun is there than going to a stupidly cheap midnight showing of a film that has been in its first box office run for almost four decades, and then adding a hearty dose of live theatre on top of that?
And I got a lapdance from both the girl who played the lips in the opening song, and the guy who played Rocky.
The best part was that I was on film the entire time, as part of a documentary on the DC area Rocky Horror community. My role? Being a Rocky virgin caught on film. So yeah, fun.

By the way, Tim Curry is a sexy beast.

    I did this with Bemis a year or so ago

    It was okay but very tiring and oh wow the idea of a community for this kind of thing

    I don't really enjoy the movie

    But I end up going to screenings of it at least once a year

    I'm going to my first live production of the show tonight, 'cause I have a crush on a girl in the pit

    I've been to a "screening" of this on halloween before

    it was in montreal

    there were lots of naked people on stage

  • Mortal SkyMortal Sky queer punk hedge witchRegistered User regular
    there wasn't anyone naked on stage at this one, but Janet's bra did lose control of a boob for a second
    also there was plentiful use of a dildo as a prop so yeah

    The first time I watched this was early in the year with my roommate at the time. She had seen it a bunch and had gone to showings. It had been a busy day so she fell asleep pretty early. But that was a shame because the in-the-pool lingerie shots really did something to me.

    Not sure if I would get into the live performances too much, but it really was a great fun movie.

    I'm going to try to get tickets to a midnight showing of this next week

    a burlesque company has been hired to perform during the show

    it's going to be crazy

    I really do not care for this film

    but I have never been to a screening and I've seen The Room at screenings like four times and I have a fucking blast every time there

    so maybe that's the medium I need to view it in!

    it definitely sounds like ... an experience

    Did you go to University Mall? My best friend is on cast, but she was out of town for this one... I think they cast her as Janet before she had to call out.

    She keeps trying to get me to go whenever I visit but I don't really think it's for me.

    yeah, Uni Mall. Small world. I heard a couple regulars were out for a few October shows.

    Screenings are literally the only way to watch this movie

    The first time I saw it was in my basement with a few friends who had seen it before/were vaguely familiar with the whole fan culture

    It was fucking awful

    Then I ended up going to a screening kind of incidentally, and that was a lot more enjoyable

    Note well, however, that there are multiple types of screenings

    Some of them are better than others (I generally do not like anything done with a "shadow cast" as it becomes too masturbatory)

    I went to a midnight screening one time and that pretty fun but I cannot 100% get behind something where you're supposed to scream over and drown out one of my favorite movies of all time.

    I still remember my first time. I believe I had a red V marked on my forehead with lipstick, and then I had to pop a balloon between the legs of...another virgin, I think. It was a long time ago, freshman year of college. I went with several girls who had already been several times...they threw me to the wolves.

    I'll never forget Dr. Frank-N-Furter's intro when he steps out of the elevator. It's burned into my memory banks forever.

    I went to Halloween Horror Nights and they had a Rocky Horror tribute and that was great. They performed the songs live and played clips from the movie, and people shouted during the clips, but respectively shut up during the performances.

    My first showing of this they wanted to put a V on my forehead with lipstick but I wouldn't let them

    does that mean it didn't count?

    Yeah, me either. I love the audience participation but I don't need some other dudes pantomiming the actors.

    I love the movie, though, and I'm not ashamed to say it.

    Wait, do you mean Uni Mall across from George Mason? I've been to a show there once, because one of the PA meetups had someone that did it. It was more surreal with people in front.

    I usually just google search it or end up seeing a flyer at some bar or theatre or other. If you're in a big city or a college town I'm sure it'll be on somewhere.

    I can enjoy people doing pantomime, actually

    At the screenings I've been to, there have typically been people who have rehearsed the stuff on their own that hop on a stage to do some pantomime

    The masturbatory nature of the shadow cast, for me at least, is all the people cast as extras/time warpers who just hang around the back and all shout the exact same call backs at exactly the same time

    Or worse, at slightly delayed timing because they are too drunk to coordinate their lines properly

    I love Rocky Horror but I've never been to a showing. I made my wife watch this a few months back and she enjoyed it so maybe sometime in the future.

    I don't mind the shadow cast at all, because damn they do some hilarious shit
    but yeah the audience's little calls got annoying

    I'm actually seeing it again tonight and dragging some friends along. Saturday nights are apparently much more packed (October is the only month where this cast does Fridays) so the experience should be different.

    I went to a screening once, that was really the only one I felt the need to go to.

    Done this a few times

    it's great fun the first time, but really, you can't watch the same movie over and over every week, no matter who you're watching it with, and i often rewatch or relisten to the same things over and over

    and yes the community for it is fucking shithole shambles

    the movie is fun enough, it's got the memorable songs and weird people and it's fun, but yeah people get WAYYYY too into it
