Okay, I saw it once.... There are a few good numbers on the soundtrack, but I never gave it any more weight than those tunes.

I saw it once; didn’t like it or the tunes.

I don’t believe I’ve ever seen it. However, this article was really amusing.

Never understood why people rave so heavily about it.

Loved it. Still love it.
The movie itself is so bad it’s good. The soundtrack though is both good and memorable.

I’ve only seen it about 45 times. I’m still a newbie.

I went to a Rocky Horror midnight showing back in high school - one of my friends was really into it at the time. I can still remember people throwing bread at the screen when Dr. Frankenfurter proposes a toast - fun times.

I was a big Rocky fan, and saw it more than 30 times (lost count in the 20s). It was a way to spend Saturday night with my friends. We’d hit up a café for dinner first, then go over for the midnight showing of Rocky Horror.

This is what my husband and I often did for dates, as well.

Sometimes, I watch youtube videos of scenes from Rocky Horror, such as Time Warp and Wild and Untamed Thing when Riff-Raff shows up. And I can never forget Sweet Transvestite, when the audience was introduced to Frankie.

A lot of the appeal of Rocky Horror was the audience participation. It was a very interactive experience.

In the early 80s, as a nice young Catholic girl, I was very disturbed by the glorification of debauchery, and aroused at the same time, which made me mad that my feelings had been manipulated in that way. I guess I benefit from knowing the cultural reference points, but I hope my kids never see it.

Last paragraph in the story is the kicker. It was all a game, and it never was anything but:

"I agree with Germaine Greer and Barry Humphries," he said recently. "You can't be a woman [just because you've had a sex change]. You're in the middle and there's nothing wrong with that. I certainly wouldn't have the wedding tackle taken off. That is a huge jump and I have all the sympathy in the world for anyone who does it," O'Brien added. "But you aren't a woman."

I loved it then and still do.

However the fan sing- and quote-alongs are way dirtier than they used to be. That says more about modern culture than about the movie.

Oh-kay . . . what does Throbbing Gristle really have to do with Rocky Horror, other than having freakishness in common?

I went to a midnight showing in the 80s, the crowd antics were great, such as in the movie when they proposed a toast, the audience threw pieces of toast.

When I read Bill Clinton’s excuse for abusing that woman, Ms Lewinsky, I thought of Dr. Frank-N-Furter.

So this dead thing reminds the author of RHPS, and so the article is about RHPS.

Love it! Know it by heart. Did it many times.

Bizarre premise for an article.

“George C. Scott passed away this week, so here’s an article about my impressions of Donald Rumsfeld...”

I saw it years ago at the Biograph Theatre in Chicago, where Dillenger was killed. Kind of a two for one!
