Hey guys, it's Adventure Van here with a blog about the Rocky Horror Picture Show. This cult classic is, in reality, at most a B-Grade Musical, but that is offset by how fervent the fan base for it is. The real reason you should watch it is due to the fact that the audience is what provides the show. Literally and figuratively. There was a group of actors in costume playing out the show in the front row at the same time the movie was going on. People would shoot water guns, throw toilet paper and toast and cards, and scream out responses at specific times during the movie. It was also preceded with a brusque and drag show that went on for two straight hours, and a costume contest.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show itself is a movie. In it, without any rhyme or reason, is Tim Curry for some reason. I do not know why Tim Curry managed to both do this movie early in his career and still become a successful actor. It is an astonishment, but the movie also has a few other big deal actors, including the voice actor for the father in Phineas and Ferb and Meatloaf, who was a very, very big deal when it came to the music industry, as the voice behind Bat out of Hell. For such a cheesy movie that was made to be cheesy, the amount of wonderful acting talent is quite interesting. The plot, written by one of the actors, is meant to be a satire of the inherent humor in horror movies and the technobabble. It's a very interesting movie to watch, but it should be seen in a theater, not alone.
Adventure Van, signing out.
