Figured I’d give an update about the Rocky Horror Picture Show I saw last night. I feared this might happen: when you go to a theater filled with people who have already seen the movie, many of whom have seen it over a hundred times, everybody’s yelling stuff out from time to time. Add to that, though, that yelling stuff out is ENCOURAGED, it’s really an event for people who already love the movie. I had never seen the movie before, and watched the trailer just the day before. I’ll have to rent the DVD so I can find out what actually happened in the movie. DID they actually do any time warps?
Also, add in the fact that there were audio difficulties.
All that said, going to an “interactive” showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show is a fun event. Prop bags were sold, so at the appropriate moments, you were likely to get hit in the eye with rice, toast, toilet paper or a playing card. The concession stand surely enjoyed it, because after I did my fair share of yelling, I needed a drink. Drink sales were surely strong with everybody else doing more yelling than me. I plan on going next year(they did it last year too, so I’m guessing this is an annual thing now), and hopefully I’ll have drank something that has loosened me up a bit. It’s within walking distance, so that’s fine. I hope to watch the movie in silence with good speakers/headphones at least 3 times between now and then.
