I had hopes.

I wanted to get into the whole Rocky Horror thing, I really did. But this group totally sucked any enjoyment out of the experience I could have had.

First, tickets said 10:30. We stood outside in line until 11:30 surrounded by all kinds of scantily costumed characters and movie goers. Some of them were quite obnoxous. Going up and down the line offering up $1 kisses to a half naked “jailbait” brought out the disapproving parent in me.

Then we finally get in to sit down (after separating the women from the men in line without a reason) and the females’ bags were searched. Oh that‘s why, sure would have been nice to just announce that. I, Marshall, Stephanie and Michael in one row and Sheila, Evo and NJ behind us. Then a good 25 minutes with people milling about and staff(?) screaming out “ONE SEAT HERE” because they’d oversold tickets. Followed by another 30 minutes of the most self-indulgent bullshit I’ve ever sat through. Introductions of the helpers (but not the actual actors?) and then a stupid mini-movie for some guy I’ve never heard of before he entered and tried some stand-up shit that was NOT funny. And FINALLY the movie…

On DVD.

What the fuck. Isn’t that like, illegal? You can’t charge admission to view a DVD.

Long story short (sorry, too late for that) you couldn’t hear the actual movie, couldn’t see it half the time because of the stage lights, but the acting along wasn’t bad… really. Although Evo’s narrative right behind me was clear and appropriate, the actor guy in the back added MUCH more, a constant spewing of every one-liner possible. Half of which you couldn’t understand and a good portion of which was hate talk against Obama. What Obama has to do with Rocky Horror I don’t know.

Hated it hated it hated it. I would suggest next time we get the urge to do a Rocky Horror night, we just hang at Evo and Sheila’s with some liquor and let Evo and CJ do the narrative for us. Now that would be a fun night.
