Sarandon Boycotts Rocky Horror

The funny thing is, I bet she is against the Bush tax cut.

Meat Loaf kicked ass in the movie.

The rest of it was faggy show tunes.

Everybody who watched it should get paid restitution by the idiots, like Sarandon, who made it.

[Dead Corpse]

"Slut!"

Ok. So i've seen it a few dozen times. The movie, by itself, sucks. It's the audience that makes it much more than it otherwise would be.

Susan looked pretty good in Rocky Horror, but it's been all downhill since then.

[albee]

"What film could she do now? The only role I could see her in is a distaff version of The Fly. She's got the eyes for it.

Funny, FUNNY, FUNNY!!!!!

[al_c]

I know what you mean. For years, I had heard of what a wonderful film it was. When I finally saw it on tv (I was NOT going to be seen renting it!), all I could think was "Is this what the big fuss is about?".

Saw it at home? There's the problem. The fun of Rocky Horror was to go see it with a crowd, in a theater, and "interact" with the movie. That is the fun part, not the movie itself. As a regular movie ... it stinks.

[The Duke]

It's her image on the screen. She should be paid for it.

She should be paid in accordance with the deal she made, period.

As far as boycotting goes, she might as well...she's been boycotting good looks for a decade!

[RikaStrom]

She got paid exactly what she negotiated for, they all did. I'm sorry that it became a cult classic and she didn't negotiate a better contract, but that's her tough luck.

For some reason the film launched some career, and I'm still shaking my head over that, but not enough to arbitrarily give money away to people.

Now as for getting something to do a voice over commentary.. I suppose they could pay her scale.

112?

jeez I lost count,

I did set a personal record for sneaking in 18 "Little Kings" in my army jacket.......

[hellinahandcart]

IF it's midnight, and you're drunk enough, anything will do.

Ah. That explains why I saw "Rock & Roll High School" twice in one semester...

[HairOfTheDog]

Not everyone understands folk dancing (sound file ;~D)

[GeneD]

B-b-b-but Susan's in the latest Reader's Digest!

[BikerNYC]

Wow, I saw it at least 50 times. You got me beat.

[3catsanadog]

The first time I saw Sarandon in a movie was in one called "Joe" with Peter Boyle.

[RichInOC]

In the words of Richard "Riff Raff" O'Brien, "It's astounding...time is fleeting...madness takes its toll...."

[william clark]

"The Rocky Horror Picture Show." The movie that wants to be Brian De Palma's "Phantom of the Paradise."

[hellinahandcart]

Cheech & Chong's "Up in Smoke" is another one you have to be under the influence to apreciate.

They used to do a Saturday nit double feature at the movie house near my school, "Reefer Madness" followed by "Up in Smoke".

[Dead Corpse]

Riff-"But listen closely... "
Magenta-"Not for very much longer. "
Riff-"I've got to keep control."Echo Audience:"Smoke a Bowl!"

[RabidBartender]

They should donate some money to the NY Police Department vice squad, just to p*** her off.
