Rocky, oh the Horror
"Damn it, Janet"
I'm watching "Rocky Horror Picture Show" right now, realizing that the only reason this movie is as popular as it is (it's a cult classic, Rayce, even though you've never heard of it) that people are drawn to absurdity/sexual promiscuity.
"Let's do the Time Warp again!"
Possibly people enjoy weird stuff b/c it's so out there and takes them away from their mundane lives. Secretly attracted to men dressed as women? Oddly aroused by a sequenced-covered tap dancer? Secretly want to be a sequence-covered tap dancer? Yea, this movie has it all.
"Hey, any you guys know how to do the Madison?!"
I first watched "Rocky Horror" when I was in the 7th grade. It was on TV and I was interested. My mom rented it later. I had no freakin clue what the hell was going on.
"I'm just a sweet transvestite... from transsexual Transylvania."
Then I watched it when I was in high school and realized it was a very sexually strange movie, and that all the Speechies loved it. I was drawn to its weirdness and Dr. Frank-N-Furter... That and I never knew Susan Sarandon could look so young (I was 15, what do you expect? I was just realizing that old people really used to be young people).
"In just seven days, I can make you a man"
I watched it again in early college, and the fact that Janet's bra fit didn't fit her right bothered me throughout the entire movie! It rides up her back— the proper way to correct that would be to get a tighter band and probably up the cup size. Because the cup of a 34 C is the same size as the cup on a 32 D, but I digress.
Enter Meatloaf.
Why does he kill Eddie? In all of the times I've seen this, I've never fully understood that part. Is it because he likes girls? Well that's not his fault. He was born that way.
"Ttttttttouch me. I want to feel dirty"
But main part of this movie that troubles me is when Janet sleeps with Rocky. She does it to get back at Brad for cheating on her with Dr. Frank-N-Furter, but she slept with Dr. Frank-N-Furter too! Dr. Frank-N-Furter sneaks into both of their rooms. He does Janet, and then slips into Brad's room. But Janet feels really awful about giving her virginity to the seven-foot man dressed in a corset and tights and calls himself a doctor. But then she finds out that Brad cheated on her too. So she justifies that she would get back at Brad and Dr. Frank-N-Furter by sleeping with Rocky... Well that and she was obviously horny.
Janet!... Dr.Scott!... Janet!... Brad!... Rocky! *silently looks*— Repeat 3 times.
Dude, people do that sh** for real. Justify their way into thinking what they're doing is ok. I'm sure this scenario has existed in real life, one way or another. That whole mind-set of "he cheated on me, so it's ok for me to cheat on him." (No, it's not. Now get back in your cage.) This movie acts as an example of how emotionally screwed up people can get themselves. Well that, and what happens when you create a blond stud-muffin and invite a bunch of squares into your house in order to corrupt them.
"You better wise up, Janet Weiss."
So really, this movie is a favorite for many because of its emotional retarded-ness, sexual nature, and catchy musical numbers that can't help but get stuck in your head. Admit it, you're singing the above bolded line, aren't you?
"You're a hot dog!"
So I guess the main lesson to be learned from this movie is that it's ok to fly your inner freak flag once in a while.
"Don't dream it. Be-e it."
Omg, I forgot they're aliens... Yea, I'm never watching this movie again.
