Watched “Shock Treatment” today… ugh 🤦‍♂️

0 Upvotes

I had always heard about it, and have always seen it floating around, and decided to give it a shot today.

There are very few movies I genuinely hate. But WOW I hated it. The music was sub-par, Brad and Janet aren’t who they were in Rocky Horror (Both literally and in terms of personality), and it was not a pleasant experience.

Had it not been “related” to Rocky Horror and just a movie on its own, I think I would’ve liked it more. But having it in my head of “Oh, it’s Brad and Janet from ‘Rocky Horror’!” probably ruined it the most for me.

P.S. Cliff DeYoung looks like a dollar store Michael Keaton

Let’s do the Time Warp Again

Surely I can’t be the only one who enjoys the 2016 version of the movie. The original is still superior, but I honestly feel that might only be because it’s the original and the one I watched for years before the remake.

Really hot take, but I also think the remake actually did one thing better and that’s the opening. The lip intro is iconic, but I prefer the new intro with the usherette.

Shock Treatment De-Musical-ized

Email: [email protected]

If you enjoy musicals and/or you love the original version of this movie then why are you here? Seriously. Just downvote it and move on.I don't care how much YOU love musicals or how right YOU believe YOUR opinion to be. I DON'T love musicals, never have.That's why I made a De-Musical-ized version.

Richard O'Brien's 1981 "sequel" to The Rocky Horror Picture Show lacked that same certain je ne sais quoi of the original is being kind. What a stinker! Perhaps it was the lack of that wacky sci-fi fishnet stocking swimming pool ending from RHPS. Whatever the case, something wasn't there. Now something isn't here. The songs. Not as many of them anyway. Lackluster songs padding out an already poor sequel are gone. So I cut the bloat and voila! A new fanedit is born.

Original runtime: 94 minutes

Fanedit Runtime: 65 minutes

  • Cut opening narrator

  • Trimmed Farley commercial

  • Trimmed Betty & Judge

Trying to understand what I saw, and questions NSFW

3 Upvotes

So to be upfront here, I marked this NSFW due to questions about consent later on.

I saw Rocky Horror for the first time Saturday night, with a shadow cast and all, and I'm not really sure what to make of it. I'm ace, but I didn't go in not expecting sexual aspects or anything. The movie itself was fine, I guess, but I couldn't really hear the movie with the people yelling jokes at the screen. I knew there was supposed to be crowd interactions like that, so a bit expected. The thing is, I couldn't make out most of the jokes either. I ended up unable to really follow along with either the movie or the jokes, and a lot of the jokes seemed to be based on actually knowing or following the movie a bit.

Where it gets more uncomfortable and weird to me is with two things: first, it seems to get glossed over pretty heavily that Frank rapes two people. It's hard to see that as sexual liberation when it's coercion at best. And secondly, as a bit of a continuation of that, the way I was told to go in was blind, as a "virgin". I expected a movie with sexual stuff happening and raunchy comedy and crowd interactions like throwing things and yelling at the screen. What I didn't expect was the way "virgins" get kinda pressured into doing things in front of a room full of strangers. The showing I went to was not that bad, I want to make that clear. There was a countdown of how many times people had seen the movie with a cast before, before an eruption of yelling of "VIRGINS!", and a trivia segment on slang of sex, masturbation, and genitalia. Not exactly my thing, but not super crazy. The more I've tried to understand what the entire point of that initiation is, the weirder and more uncool some of it gets. Stories of people getting essentially bullied to strip down to their underwear and mine sex acts especially rub me the wrong way, because of that insistence to go in blind.

So, is it a failing on my part, to not have done enough research to understand what all could happen? I get there's a degree of implied consent by showing up, but the expectation and what that implied consent is for doesn't seem to always line up with what ends up going on. I want to understand the movie, and I can tell a lot of people have a lot of fun with it. I can see how it could be a lot of fun if you're expecting it, and know the call outs, and all that. At that point, you're informed as to what's going on and really know what you're going into. It's the intentionally keeping people in the dark to a degree that feels off to me. Between that and frank, it seems there's a conversation to be has about consent, and how people frame or interpret it.

I hope I'm not coming off as some prude trying to look down on others or anything, I am aware I'm probably not exactly the target audience. I heard it was fun, and wanted to see what it was about. I'm just a bit surprised, and not entirely in a good way

Hawk Tuah, Bless My Soul...

7 Upvotes

If someone remixed the Hawk Tuah meme into Meatloaf's "Hot Patootie" (Bless my Soul), they'd probably score a few thousand views.

I don't have the gumption or skill to do it, but I think someone out there could easily swap the Hawk Tuah meme / audio into the Hot Patootie song from The Rocky Horror Picture Show and grab a bunch of internet upvotes and probably some mild ad revenue.

You're welcome for the free clicks, whomever. Would appreciate a nod or head's up if you do it.

HELP!!! Karaoke Version of RHPS

0 Upvotes

Hi All!

I’m directing a shadowcast production of Rocky Horror this year. I am having the cast sing the songs rather than playing the movie and they just lip sync. I am trying to find a version of the movie with karaoke tracks built into the movie but am having trouble finding one. Does anyone know if one exists or has access to a version of the movie like this?

Should Frank N Furter only be played by trans actors

0 Upvotes

I'm interested in putting on a production of RHS in Brooklyn this fall and as a cis woman I want to respect those who have been marginalized i.e. trans folks who probably didn't always get a chance to play Frank. Does Frank have to be any specific gender in your opinion? The song does say "sweet transvestite" and nowadays I feel like a cis gender person shouldn't necessarily play the part? Of course you can't always be sure of who will show up to audition anyway and there may not be a trans person to show up...I guess I'd just like to hear any opinions from the trans and queer community on what you think. Thanks!!
