I don't know if I'd say all of that, but I saw this movie recently and I feel like I know where you're coming from maybe? I know that I'm glad I didn't see it in HS because I would have been super obnoxious (because I saw alot of myself in Dr. Frarkenfurter). It's definitely something I would have enjoyed so much more back then, now it just makes me nostalgic for times I was wilder/ a different kind of free-er.

My theory is just that it's the live show cult community thing.

I hate it. Scared the fuck out of me as a kid. The scene where he is pretending to be the wife/husband to have sex with them terrified me and still grosses me out to this day. Yeah, I watched it way too young.

I watched it in HS music class where we had to do a musical and write about it in pairs (my partner picked it, I wanted to do Grease). I was maybe 15 at the time? Watched it in the lounge room with my parents and you can imagine how awkward I was.

I... definitely felt like this for awhile. The first time I saw it (live, in a cozy old-fashioned local venue, with a shadow cast in front of the giant screen and lots of enthusiastic fans with props) I kinda went "...Why is this a thing?" A couple of my friends said it was their favorite movie and after actually seeing it I was like WHAT. (Didn't help that I couldn't understand a lot of the dialogue because of the entire audience yelling stuff over it...)

But over the years I kind of get it. The show itself is not actually that good, but it's more about the community and the bonding experience. And in spite of aspects that aged really poorly, there is a message of "be yourself no matter what other people think" that especially was welcome to my LGBT+ friends in an era when they really didn't get that kind of encouragement openly. Nowadays I'm not sure people get how unusual that was (never mind that Frank is not exactly good queer representation, hahaha).

And also now I appreciate camp more than I used to, and that movie is PURE camp. And in spite of it not really being quality cinema, it is really fun to use as fodder for parodies and ridiculous crossovers (as long as you don't take any of it remotely seriously).

But I mean. Even if I have grown to understand the appeal, doesn't mean you have to. You're allowed to just think stuff sucks.

[(Anonymous)]

same. I managed to go without seeing it until my 40s, even though I had heard OF it and tangentially knew random things about it by fandom osmosis. I knew plenty about live shows and callbacks and such. Knew nothing about the movie itself or its plot or characters aside from Frankenfurter. Do I just not appreciate it because I waited too long and I'm old and crotchety now? Is it a fandom experience from the past that didn't age well? I sure didn't age well lmao.

[(Anonymous)]

I like it, but I agree that it's front-loaded. The first half is more entertaining to me than the second half.

[(Anonymous)]

I love it but yeah, the first half of the movie is much better than the last half. if it would have ended with Rose Tint My World it would have been perfect :(

[(Anonymous)]

I think my inability to bond with Rocky Horror is that I bonded with the Vincent Price Muppet Show episode at a much earlier age - it was my main reference point for most of the tropes in Rocky Horror - and it is at least as subversive, less rapey, very queer, a lot funnier, and much shorter.

[greghousesgf]

I'm one of those people who loved it the first time I saw it but I'll be the first to cop to the fact that it's not for everybody. (My best friend can't stand it....)

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed and raise: I think the TV version they did a few years ago was way better

Some people just like to read about sexy, well-shaped, nicely oiled feet.

I know you don't believe in anymore, but I do. So I'll pray for you anyway anon. (And I don't know what your faith background was, but praying quite often is just speaking into that endlessness, into that quiet -- just talking to God like you would a friend, for the good stuff and the bad).

Anyway, I hope things improve for your family member and your general state as well if you're not in a good place.

Honestly the Mandalorian doesn't feel much like Star Wars to me at all, so I totally get why non-fans would enjoy it. Baby Yoda is cute, but other than that I'm pretty meh on the show. Don't hate it, but it doesn't give me that Star Wars excitement most of the rest of the universe does.

Which are some of your favorite or least favorite "come hither" phrases you've found in fic or other types of media? Which ones give you heaps of second hand embarrassment? What was the delivery/context that made something work (when it otherwise wouldn't?)

Bonus points if you've ever used any of them in real life!!

I've (to my embarrassment) have used the "old enough" phrase when I was, in fact, very much not old enough and trying to act grown lmao. 13 year old me really thought I was cute lol
