oh yeah, my own opinion is that it's crap.
I do not recognise myself in that description
I feel reassured that there are others who hate this film as well and I used to look on in utter bewliderment when I saw people raving about this.
This film is the cinematic equivalent of having your eyes gouged out with red hot knitting needles and then having sulphuric acid poured into the holes.
Actually ..Juice Terry has already articulated the abomination that is this film better than I ever could
It having the word 'horror' in its name is entirely appropriate.

The Rocky Horror Show is a bit like The Doors or something - it's probably a good thing to like when you're a kid and it's your first exposure to such things.
But later, surely it's just utter toilet?

i kind of agree with the first part of this sentiment.Dubversion said:
i adored it when i was 14 - it... corrupted me - or fanned the already smouldering flames at any rate. very, very influential.
we used to go round each other's houses when our parents were out, watching it and drinking vodka - saying all the words and responses...
but.
then i got kinkier than the really very tame stuff going on in the film - and it just didn't "thrill me, chill me, fulfil me", any more.
But i don't think it's utter toilet. i'd probably watch it quite happily now, for novelty value. It must've been well over 10 years since i did.

I voted 'crap' because it seemed a far more appropriate option than 'not crap.'

I almost certainly denounced it when I was younger. I was much more of a denouncer then and I denounce more than enough now.

Ok, it's pretty much as milesy described it really - try-hard wackiness, student twattery, vanilla-kinky.
It's not funny, it's certainly not sexy, the songs are mostly pretty poor, it's the worst kind of camp that moves from being camp into pure hysteria, which isn't
, the film never escapes its theatrical origins (one of my pet hates, i guess) and it's just a royal pain in the arse.People who used to like Rocky Horror Show often go on to like Scissor Sisters(no offence, spangles..
)"i asked you
if you'd like to
go and see the Rocky Horror Picture Show
You said you would
So I murdered your family
Cos I hate the Rocky Horror Picture Show
I'd rather go browsing round hardware shops"

they're both very theatrical and open and fun - lacking in attitude and arrogance - i can see the link.
but yes, i have grown out of it - that's not a denouncement, though. i don't think it's shit.
slight derail, sorry
the thing about the Scissor Sisters is that i think they're brilliant people based on what i've seen read - intelligent, witty, political, passionate.
but then they go and make records that sound like Supertramp
