One More Rocky Viewing
I'm pretty much the most neglectful blogger there is. Once again, I had stuff to actually post about for a change, and I put it off for a week out of sheer laziness. What the heck is wrong with me?
Anyway, last weekend saw me take in my fourth midnight screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Yes, four. It probably would have been five if I'd gone to both Halloween shows instead of just one, but there's no sense in worrying about that now.
But as with the other three, I enjoyed myself tremendously. I know I probably sound like a broken record in these posts, but it's the truth. I always end up having a ball whenever I'm there. The crowd was a bit smallish due to the weather, even then, it was still a heck of a show.
The most amusing part of the night, at least in my eyes, were the ten Rocky Horror virgins who happened to be sitting near me. Apparently one of them had recently turned 16, and having been introduced to the movie through the Rocky Horror-themed episode of Glee, she got a bunch of friends together in costume and showed up to the screening as her "sweet sixteen" party. Two of them even got called up on stage to take part in the virgin initiation, too. For their sake, I hope they had a ball. (And if the birthday girl, through some fluke, reads this, happy belated birthday!)
There's really not much else to say about it that I haven't said in my three other Rocky Horror posts, other than I'm sad they're not having a December show. I guess that makes sense, since the theater's usual weekend for it would fall on Christmas. But hey, I could probably use a month off anyway. I'm totally looking forward to the January 2011 show, though.
And in other movie-related news, I've posted three new reviews over at "Sutton at the Movies" if you're interested. The movies in question: Judge Dredd, The Human Centipede (First Sequence), and Reefer Madness. You did indeed read two of those titles correctly. And thanks to Judge Dredd and The Human Centipede, November established my all-time record for most reviews in a single month at ten. When I started my job back in March, I didn't think I'd have time to review more than two or three a month if I was lucky. But ten in a month? Either I'm writing faster or I've had more time on my hands lately. Maybe a little of both. But at least one of my two blogs is getting some regular content, right?
