Never was a Rocky Horror fan. It was pretty terrible outside of how hot Victoria Justice is. Everything about this looks like it was made at least 10 years ago.

Did the audience participate? That was part of the fun with the original

Yes.

Problem #1- Janet's character is played by a girl that just doesn't pull off the ultra-conservative aura that Sarandon pulled off. It's just not believable. The dude does an OK job of Brad.

Problem #2- The costumes at the party when Brad and Janet first enter the house are too over the top. When Frankenfurter appears, he/she doesn't stand out at all. Just looks like another party goer.

Problem #3- When Rocky emerges, he sings. That's not supposed to happen. That's retarded.

Problem #4- Unless I missed it, and that's possible, they cut out or changed the Meatloaf murder scene.



I eventually stopped watching and turned to Miami losing to Virginia Tech because UGA culture was holding him back at UGA but Miami was different and he was going to take the U to the NC or some shite.

I didn't watch, but is it true that Frankenfurter is played by black woman who used to be a dude?


Apparently they didn't know the difference between a transvestite and a transsexual.

Absolutely horrible.


Agree.

Yep.

they just brought Brad and Janet up to Frankenfurter's lair and to see Rocky climb out of an ice bath, 37 minutes into this thing... and Rocky is fricking singing a solo.


Wasn't it the same solo he sang in the original, "The Sword of Damocles"?

I can't believe Tim Curry participated in this (as the old narrator).


I assume he got paid?

Also, did you notice Richard O'Brien (wrote the original stage play and appeared as Riff Raff in the original film) as the projector operator in the theater during the intro?

They did change it, but it was still in there. Instead of following him into the freezer vault with a pick, he cornered him by a window, stabbed him and pushed him out. Also, since it wouldn't have fit, they omitted the "one from the vaults" line afterward.

Wow, Deeprig is even more terrible than I always believed he was. Just absolutely awful. A bad human being. Sad, really, when a person wastes life on negative brutish behavior.

Some turds you cannot shine.
