Rocky Horror Dickhead Show?

[logansrogue]

Hey all.

Well, there was a screening of Rocky tonight and I dressed up just a bit and went. I didn't dress up entirely, though I wish I had now, since I did go up to do the dance and these undies have a tiny hole right around the clit. Scary, huh? It's right under though, I doubt people could see it. Anwyay.

As far as a Rocky screening went, it wasn't my favourite. The reel is so fracking old that the music has warped and there are a couple of points where there are entire moments of the movie missing. The damned reel is thirty years old, man - REPLACE IT ALREADY!! Fuck. I think they seriously snapped the fucking thing, TWICE! There were a handful of badly done Columbias and a bunch of Janets, one good Brad and one GREAT Janet. One Riff-Raff, one Space Magenta, no Dr. Scotts or Eddies. *sigh*

I did my bit during the Time Warp. The falling over at the end of the tap solo? I so meant it. I was fucking exhausted.

And now for the reason for the title. At one point, someone a few metres to the left told Meryki and us to SHUT UP! When we were doing CALL BACK LINES!!! Shig and I just burst into cruel mocking laughter, laughter that said, "You fucking idiot, grab a CLUE! It told you about Audience Participation on the website!" We weren't the only ones shouting! And some fucker behind us was throwing nuts or m&ms or shit at me and the bodaciously hot teen girls in their underwear sitting next to us (Sha-WING! They were so fucking sweet). But did I shut up? No.

I SHOUTED LOUDER! Screwed up some of the lines but I don't remember them very well anymore. Shame.

I recorded a bit of movie, to get some of the call back work and I took some photos of the people that bothered to dress up. I might put those up. Oh! And I ran into Ryan and GEORGE! (I hadn't seen him in AGES!) Many hugs to my faggy friends! I love it that Ryan makes more noise than I ever could. You're a doll, Chocky-caramel-ryan friend!

Anyhew, I'm exhausted, my guts are hurting and I'm hungry. I might have some spaghetti and crash. *nods*

Tonight really made me miss doing the shows we used to do. Thomas can't do Frankie anymore, though, and I'm getting pretty fat in the tummy for Columbia, but I saw what Perth had to show for itself tonight and I tell you - I'm still pretty good. Someone remarked that I even looked like her, and I thought that was sweet. I miss it terribly, but I know that it takes so much money (that I don't have) and organisation (That I'm bad at doing). Maybe I'll try to get a decent crew together for next years show? School comes first though, gotta concentrate on that.

Well, I'm bushed. Till next time, faggots and lesbians and all those in between!

Karen (+ lots of other people) had all organised going to Somerville, so I went with them instead, and I just didn't enjoy the film at all, so should have gone to Rocky instead.
I should have gone to Rocky and invited you all back to spa after and we could have floated in the spa singing 'Don't dream it be it'.

I'm too old and bearded to do most of the characters now, but I bet I could do a good Dr Scott. Dr Scott at the end with the fishnets.

You'd be a GREAT Dr. Scott!! You could probably be a good Eddie, too. *hugs you* Art movies or smutty joke movies? I was sitting next to a group of teen girls in their underwear man, I KNOW WHAT TO CHOOSE! *grins*

[strangedave.livejournal.com]

You are so right. I made the wrong call.

And I *would* make a great Dr Scott. And I can sing all the songs (not as well as you obviously).

It wasn't actually really an art movie, it was a french black comedy about a guy who becomes a serial killer as part of a jobseeking plan. I just don't generally think serial killing makes for good farce. I was the only person who really didn't like it much, though.

Yeah, let's kill innocent people, that's always good for a lark. Now, stealing banks I can get behind. Malcom rocked and nobody got hurt. But laughing about killing innocent people? Uhm, no?

The comment you are about to read has no fucking neck!

Some of the greatest times I had in high school in Olathe, Kansas (Oh-lay-thuh, it means "Beautiful City" in some Indian language, I'm guessing Pawnee or Shawnee, but I was always convinced it meant "drive-through bedroom community") were going to midnight showings of Rocky. I must have seen it 30 or 40 times, small potatoes for true Rocky-philes. I never dressed up, but I slung the lines with the best of 'em.

The greatest benefit, it made my girlfriend at the time incredibly aroused. We seldom made it past the parking lot at 2 in the morning before we were all over each other. Goooood times. She had that knowledge.

HAhahaha. Rocky is so good for sex. Being in the cast was my sexual awakening. Good side and bad sides of that. :)

What diabolical chicken stepped on your forehead, fucked your chin and ... (Shit - stole your neck? I can't remember, it's been too long!)

[mix-o-choc.livejournal.com]

We make just as much noise as each other. You were out of breath remember. Oh and don't you mean Gordon = sea_wolf?

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Eep! Yay! Must friend!!!

woot seeya friday!

I'd had that, too, a time or two -- the people too new to Rocky to realize that yelling is part of the experience who turned in their seat to "Shhh!" me.

As for the aged reel, I can remember the discussions about that while I was in the London cast. Seems there's a limited number out there, and they're all getting old and worn, and there's a real competition between casts to obtain the best ones. I don't know why there aren't any new copies being made.

It's ridiculous, isn't it? We tried projecting from a DVD once. It was way too dim compared to the reels and expensive to hire. Ah well. :(

ROCKY HORROR TAPE

[(Anonymous)]

Hello bitches! Tis' me, Elton Thom! Just a quick note to correct you all on something... They are still making reels. FOX sell them for about $600. As far as reels are concerned in Australia, there are only two. The old CARDS FOR SORROW group in Queensland seem to have perminant dibs on it. I don't know why? Christian split the cast up a couple of years ago after his failed RHPS convention. Do you remember we had an invite Nancy? We were invited to perform two scenes. Back to the reel. The other one is the one that Perth always seems to get. It was made up about six years ago from several old reals. It was cut and pasted to the one that you saw last night. The audio is shit and there are about five or six significant gaps. Sure it is only one or two seconds here and there, but that can make paricipation lines go all over the place. I remember the worst place for the gaps were in the lab scene when singing I Can Make You A Man....

Well those were the days. Lot's of money being lost, getting drunk way too often and blah, FUCK IT WAS GOOD.

And lots of consentual sexual exploits. Aaaah, those were the days!! T'was nice to get the glittery yellow hat back on my head! :)

Well, this year's show was better than the last time it screened at Kings Park. Too many people brought their bloody rugrats along then. Bah.

And I quite agree with you regarding the reel. It's getting to the point where they may as well not show it.

Nonetheless, I quite enjoyed it. Yay audience participation! Most of the people seemed to have caught on to it about a quarter of the way through, even the people people behind me were getting into the act. Some good laughts were gotten too.

Next time I will remember to get my kit together earlier than the day of the show. All I ended up with was hat, which sucked.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

You know who I was, right? Next time, come say hi! :-D *grins* Next year, we'll get some people together and we'll have a big mass of call-backers!!
