Why do some people think your weird because you love "The Rocky Horror Picture Show?
It is kind of a weird movie…
Um, well, probably because I was going to it before most people even knew it existed. I went every Friday and Saturday night for over three years running.
I’m over forty, and have seen it over one thousand times at the movies and lost count at seven hundred on video. (Video doesn’t count, anyway, VIRGIN!)
My kids know every word to every song. They dance The Time Warp with such studied perfection it would make the Rockettes blush with embarrassment, and have been able to do so since the age of two.
We do the Halloween thing just about every year: me, my kids, my sister and her kids, excepting year before last. Last year, my daughter went as Magenta,who just happened to be the character I played during my own heyday. She got an earlier start, however, being ten. I was sixteen.
I own more posters, albums, t-shirts, videos, etc., than anybody over the age of eighteen in this part of the country. I don’t dream it. I am it.
It was great when it all began…
I am a regu-LAH Frankie fa-an…!
[sub] How, exactly, do you define, weird??[/sub] 
Because back in the '70’s, when I loved it, I know for a fact I was weird. So was everyone else dressed up and playing along. What’s wrong with that? I liked being thought weird.
Probably because it’s considered a cult flick.
Back in my day, the local rednecks and preppies assumed we were all gay, and that if they tried really hard they could beat it out of us. Most of the time, they got thier asses kicked, but that didnt stop them from trying. I was the cast bouncer. RHPS in Texas, never a dull moment. We got a little peace after one of the Punks cut a guys throat ear to ear in the lobby. They let us alone after that…at least for a while.
I thought the entire point of liking RHPS was to show how weird you were? At least, that’s why I used to go.
“Why do some people think my weird” what?
your weird because, can’t you read?
I always thought that your because was a little off, but I never wanted to say anything.
Oh, and for the OP – becuase most poeple who really get into following the move are weird. Nothing wrong with that.
That is so 80’s. Or 70’s. Or something. Are people still doing that? Dang.
Look, mouthbreather, you know I’m sensitive about my because. I like to think of it as an eccentric because, maybe even an idiosyncratic because, but calling it “weird” is just mean.
Is it okay if we call your because “chubby” ? Or will it put you in a black mood for the rest of the day?
OP: You’re weird because you’re doing a thing that was considered hip and cool well over twenty years ago. When you’re not going to the Rocky Horror Picture Show, are you rolling your stockings and carrying a hip flask and spinning Rudy Vallee 78s?
C’mon, baby, get hep to the jive!
People still do that?
I used to see it at the Tiffany Theater in Hollywood back in 1980-82 or so. It was old then. I went maybe six or seven times over three years. All those crazy punk rockers on The Strip were an amazing thing to see for a kid.
So you’ve seen the same movie over 1000 times, dress up like the characters, yell at the movie screen and throw food at one another. I’m sorry to break it to you but that does deviate from the norm. Sure it’s fun but isn’t part of the reason that you do it because it’s weird?
Back in the day the regulars used to revel in the fact that they were so different. I’d be polite and not point out that everyone dressing up the same as one another was about as “different” as a frat party.
