Each part of that headline just adds more and more dread and disgust.

Each part of that headline just adds more and more dread and disgust.  It's the single sentence repeated over and over again in the Necronomicon.

Andi McCollam  and Ronald McCollam  because they need to know where to direct their hatred.

  3. To put it out there, Rocky Horror has never been held sacred and really invites parody. I mean, have you seen Shock Treatment? I'm going to predict that Fox's reimagining will far exceed the reimagining that my college RHPS fan club president put together, but fall well short of the reimagining I saw on Broadway. My own high school VHS copy that I watched until it wore out was off of Fox, where they got Meatloaf to host and kept cutting to a live theater audience. Part of the beauty is that the original movie was so terrible, that you really can't do that much worse. And yet the awesome songs and individualistic message can't help but shine through.

    NO!  The original is the One True Film!  Han shot first!  No Rocky Remake!  No Rocky Remake!

  6. Han did shoot first, which makes an interesting point. I guess that if Star Wars had been a play first with an established story and script, it might be kinda fun if Netflix made a new version. However, the Star Wars "enhancements" than Lucas did would be more like if RKO decided that he'd really intended Frank to be an accountant, and then made it his life's work to bury all of those pesky transvestite "drafts".

  7. Ronald McCollam no, the definative Casablanca was the one starring Pamela Anderson as Rick.
