+Wow. It's been a really long week and I'm sorry I haven't been posting. I'm coming to realize it's hard to actually do life and then blog about it, it's almost like being the main character and author of the same book at once. It's not that I don't have anything to write about, hell I have more than enough things to write about I just can't find the time to sit my ass down and write it. That looks a lot more pathetic when I type it out doesn't it? I'm really sick of apologizing about blogging so it's not gonna happen anymore. Anyways, to the post! (It's going to be a multitude of things.) Starting with: The Rocky Horror Picture Show! I decided to watch it on Halloween with a couple of cult crazy friends. I felt like it deserved a shot; after all I love musicals, I love horror, and I love Tim Curry. But I didn't like it. So while at the library today I picked up and stared into Tim Curry's eyes and sighed. Give it another shot, I did. Guess what, I still hate it. This garbage movie had no meaning whatsoever. Nothing happens. Absolutely nothing. Sure a musical is very difficult to create because you have to insert music in places where speech is just not enough and you have to time it right to not make the music placing awkward. I guess the writer of TRHPS didn't get that memo because most of the movie is just plain awkward. Sometimes I can just sit back and not question certain things but this one I just couldn't find a single answer to anything. Honestly, this movie has nothing to offer but plan nine. What's plan nine? It's a musical strung out on crack, cover in sparkles, and wrapped in velvet. I had heard nothing but great things about it and now I know those were all just ... lies. Now if your fuming and ready to grab your kitchen knives and burn down my house know that I understand there are a lot of fans out there but realize I am not one of them. This is only my personal opinion. I couldn't give you an exact reason why I thought it was so bad but it could be partly due to the fact I was tired and cranky or the movie itself was just over the top and not to my liking. The only thing that saves this film is Tim Curry, The Time Warp, and some costumes. Tim Curry is Tim curry and although Time Warp doesn't make any sense ( what really makes sense anyways...) it's pretty damn catchy and I like to dance to it. And hey, I just can't resist stockings and guarder straps.

Love, John Jingle.
ps. on a scale I give it - 4 / 10 and sorry I'm ditching the excessive italics and bolds. May they rest in peace.
