I've always been a fan of his, but....

I've never seen The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

My favorite movie growing up was and still is Clue, and my parents insisted it was because of the maid, Yvette. Partly true, but I always liked who-dun-it? comedies. Anyway, Tim along with the other classic comedians made this movie extra special.

Now I'm on a kick on checking out Tim's other movies, and I'm curious about watching Rocky Horror for the very first time. I actually met both Patricia Quinn and Nell Campbell this past April at the Hollywood Show event, and that made me want to check it out all the more. They actually still look the same, just a bit older, and they still had a goth look to them. I was hoping Tim would drop in to reunite with the cast, but unfortunately he didn't.

So what should I expect from the movie? I'm never usually picky when it comes to genres, and if it's a fantasy style movie, I'm happy from the start.

You can expect a post-sexual-revolution satire of those old RKO and Hammer sci-fi and horror movies of the 50s & 60s. But it's kind of a dull watch on video, all alone, with no one yelling funny lines at the screen.

Beyond that though, you can expect great songs and a wonderful performance from Tim. And since you seem to be a fan of boobs, it's got that too.

I do hope you enjoy it. But if you can find a midnight screening at a theater near you, that would be the best way to see it. In that environment, it's hilarious and unforgettable.

Agreed, it's better with a group than on the tv.
