Rocky Horror Picture Show...Evil Dead Trilogy...TMNT....huh?

Hey guys, I was talking to my brother some time back about different movies and such.
We were watching Evil Dead, and talking about Army of Darkness and such, and he asked a question.

Okay, Rocky Horror Fans, do you know of this special "book" of things that you say at certain times during the movie? I've heard of this only a very few times, and wondered if this was real.

Well, my brother had asked if there was something similar for Evil Dead/Evil Dead 2/Army of Darkness.

MY question is...is there something like that for the TMNT Movie? And If not, do you think something like that could be written?

I've heard about the Rocky Horror stuff, which spawned essentially from late night showings of the movie in London, I believe. The crowds would show up, dressed in their best costumes, and belt back quips and songs at the screen. I've heard the audience often out shines the movie itself. But I've never heard about a book being written about such stuff.

I don't believe there's something similar for TMNT, or if it would even catch on. While the movie is very kick ass, I don't think it has enough cult appeal to it to inspire a book. A shame, really.

You had to get me started on "Rocky Horror".... It just so HAPPENS to be my favorite film...thankyouverymuch. *whistles "Time Warp"* At first I didn't know what the SHELL it was....then my good old friend got me hooked on the film.
As for the book, it is a shame really...it really is.

It's just a step to the left....and a jump to the right....

Y'know, for some reason I just never got into Rocky Horror. Maybe because I'm a straight male, I'unno. A cross-dressing Tim Curry performing fellatio behind a sheet on another man doesn't exactly make me wanna sing and dance.

I did go to a midnight showing with a few of my friends who were big fans though. I had fun but I was also pretty drunk.

Tim Curry is either the best or worst actor in history, depending on your point of view. He's either the worst actor ever because he only does sh*t movies (name ONE actually GOOD movie he's been in... not a "cult classic" or guilty pleasure, an actual GOOD movie), or the best actor ever because he always performs brilliantly DESPITE only being in sh*t movies.

Personally, I like him in "Clue" more than anything...

I will now attempt to name a GOOD Tim Curry Movie, but you decide, personally I think hes one of the best

Scary Movie 2 (personally not a fan but some like it)
Chalies Angles (no comment)
Muppet Treasure Island [this is my only number](well I thought it was good)
Congo (not sure where it fits, but since it also has Bruce Campbell and Jimmy Buffet in it, I call it good)

Persannaly I think his Voice work is more impressive (Tarus Bullba, dragunas, severious, King Max, and Skull Master among numarou others[including all Rugrat movies, they suck but thats still 3 movies])

First part of Stephen King's 'It' was pretty good.

Ah yeah I forgot that was him.

Personally I think that the fact he was in The Worst Witch and Legend (which SHOULD have been called "Tom Cruise Is Really REALLY Gay And This Is His Way Of Coming Out, By Wearing Hotpants And Prancing Around With Unicorns") overrule any good Tim Curry has done otherwise as an actor.

And for the record, I have conclusive proof that "Legend" was all about Gay Pride. I'd be more than happy to share it if anyone's interested. I did a lot of research on the subject.







.......and of course by "research" I mean getting wasted and talking to GK at 4 am on a random Friday night/Saturday morning......

Weird or not, Tim Curry has the best "evil pirate captain" voice known to man... ever.

OK Mars, you asked for it....

Well, the trick to understanding "Legend" is to first understand that unicorns are a symbol of homosexuality. That's why Tom Cruise is so hell-bent on saving them from The Darkness, which of course is a metaphor for Heterosexuality. The unicorns in the movie are "killed" (turned straight) by removing their horns (penises), and their "horns" are delivered to The Darkness, meaning they no longer live for the love of another penis, but for the "evil" that is heterosexuality. If all the unicorns are killed, this magical land where Tom Cruise frolics with unicorns will be destroyed and Darkness (Straightness) will rule over all.

And why was Tim Curry's character "evil"? Because he wanted to have sex with a woman, the woman Tom Cruise's character platonically hung out with. Because, you see, she's a lesbian. He seduces her to "the dark side" (turns her straight), and she shows this by wanting to "cut the horn off the unicorn" (get some serious deep-d*ckin'). It's all an act, of course, since all lesbians are man-haters, and together the forces of feg overcome The Evil Heterosexual Plague, and Tom Cruise and his completely platonic female pal get to frolic in the woods with the gay unicorns forever.

Basically, the moral of "Legend" was that "straight = bad" and that being gay meant being pure, especially since unicorns historically only appear to those who are "pure". Contrary to popular belief, pure doesn't mean virginal... when dealing with unicorns, it means gay.

Besides, it had Tom Cruise running around in short shorts and a bunch of faeries and unicorns and stuff. All it needed was a rainbow, and "Legend" would have a stronger "gay pride" message than any simple bumper sticker.

.....not that there's anything WRONG with it.........................................

Is that REALLY it? Or is it that you just can't handle the truth?

y'know...

back in the day(tm), vespera an' i were talkin bout that whole "UNICORNS = VIRGINITY" thing

and while this has nothing to do with gayness OR "Legend" OR tom cruise... it's still amusing and i'll use less words than leo.

so.

it'd be so funny if every virgin had a unicorn that hung out with them... but not to frolic, etc, but to ridicule them until they screwed something so that the unicorn could go off and have a cigarette or do whatever it is that unicorns DO with their time off....


*virgin and unicorn walk down the street side by side. the unicorn points to a likely candidate for messing around.*

UN: what about HIM? HUH?! i swear. ****, girl... did somebody girl yer frickin' KNEES tagether?! what is WITH YOU!! that is some QUALITY ACTION right there....

V: *quietly and near tears* no... i just don't .... please be quiet...

UN: NO! whaddabout HIM!? he'd give ya some... lookit him, he's winkin' at us. GO FOR IT. dammit, yer lettin' him get AWAY... SOMETHIN" WRONG witchoo...

*virgin cries*
*unicorn lights up a smoke*

U: at LEAST try som'a this... yer so damn TENSE all the time... no WONDER you're still a virgin...

---

i would laugh my ass off if that's the way it was.
