I think you pretty much have it figured out, anon.

[identity profile] classic-mold137.livejournal.com 2011-09-14 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
I feel like if I start questioning the logic to something in this movie, I'll never be able to stop. But yay RHPS secret! I really need to re-watch this. I was involved in a production all four years of college and now I haven't seen it in over a year. It feels odd to not see this movie at least once a week =/

(Anonymous) 2011-09-14 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
You have it figured out, anon.

Now what you should be trying to figuring out is why they didn't recognize Frank N Furter considering they sat through the whole service staring at him.

[identity profile] stella-down.livejournal.com 2011-09-14 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
Frank-n-Furter without makeup = Clark Kent wearing glasses

[identity profile] tenmorehours.livejournal.com 2011-09-14 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
to be honest, I never recognized Tim Curry there, so...yeah. It kinda is.

(Then again, I've only seen that movie once.)

[identity profile] i-paint-the-sky.livejournal.com 2011-09-14 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
I've seen the movie many times and only recently realized he was there too (I did know about the other three though, probably mostly because they were credited for the song ... plus Richard O'Brien is sort of hard to miss, even more so than Tim Curry).

(Anonymous) 2011-09-14 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
First of all: Yeah, probably.
Secondly: You shouldn't fret about the plot that much. It's RHPS.
Lastly, a fun fact: O'Brien and Quinn were high as fuck that day and it was Quinn's first time smoking pot!

Re: Your second point: "If you wonder how he eats and breathes and other science facts, just say to yourself, 'It's just a show, I should really just relax.'"

[identity profile] dinerstate.livejournal.com 2011-09-14 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
Lol now I totally think they did plan it. I mean, what else do they do all day? I'm sure they had that down to every tiny little detail.

[identity profile] megalomaniageek.livejournal.com 2011-09-14 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
It seems like the answer to pretty much every question is "yes, but it's kind of a silly movie so roll with it."

[identity profile] redstapler.livejournal.com 2011-09-14 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
The short woman in the hat is also clearly one of the Trannies.

[identity profile] tripperfunster.livejournal.com 2011-09-14 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Not to get all 'logical' or anything, but this started out as a play, and generally, to save money, the actors take on many roles. In the play, Eddie and Dr. Scott were played by the same actor too.

The obviously didn't need to do it for the film, but they probably kept the old roles for shits and giggles.

Oh, and Tim Curry as frank n furter? UNF UNF UNF

I never noticed that! Must keep eyes peeled next time I go - after all, Halloween is coming up. 'Tis the season.

[identity profile] aishuu.livejournal.com 2011-09-14 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
Trying to reconcile logic to RHPS is like dividing by zero.

[identity profile] tenebrais.livejournal.com 2011-09-14 04:18 pm (UTC)(link)
It leads to infinite fun?

[identity profile] wonderbink.livejournal.com 2011-09-14 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
You are overthinking an extremely stupid movie. Stop it.

(Anonymous) 2011-09-14 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
No, YOU stop it.

[identity profile] duae.livejournal.com 2011-09-14 04:18 pm (UTC)(link)
What will really blow your mind is, why didn't Brad and Janet think it odd that dinner was served after they went to bed and got woken up?

[identity profile] bookymoo.livejournal.com 2011-09-17 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
...D:

Now I can't stop thinking about it!

[identity profile] arcadiaego.livejournal.com 2011-09-14 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Given the movie, I think it's probably just supposed to be odd. (I didn't even realise it was Tim Curry the first few times. Yes, even though they've *circled his head*. I'm not smart.)

(Anonymous) 2011-09-15 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Fun fact: O'Brien wanted the beginning of the movie to play out somewhat like The Wizard of Oz. He had planned to shoot the beginning of the movie in black and white and have everything turn to color when Brad and Janet busted through the doors into the ballroom for The Time Warp. I believe that idea was canned because it turned out to be too much money for two different kinds of film to be used.

So, running with the Wiz of Oz theme and how Dorothy's uncles and acquaintances all became different characters in Oz in the same way that Tim, Richard and Patricia would become main characters in the weird "other world" of Frank's mansion, it makes sense. Also, many of the wedding guests in that scene are actually Transylvanians later in the movie as well.

tl;dr: It's an homage to the Wizard of Oz Richard O'Brien wanted to do. Also, it's a silly movie. :)
Source: Being in a cast and being obsessed with Rocky Trivia. Also, the Wiz-of-Oz version is a hidden easter egg on the 25th Anniversary DVD if I'm not mistaken.
