To me, it has the same vibe as Ad Astra. Everyone took a near-OD dose of Ambien before the film starts and they keep at that emotional level for the entire film.

The effects and scenery in both? Outstanding. The acting? Like the mirror opposite of a nervous high school play.

>Curry got cold feet about his ability to do an American accent and dropped out.

As someone who watched Congo, that was the correct assessment of his ability to do accents

Also, will someone explain to me what the hell the spoiler is in that section?

>You know I’ve been super hesitant to watch that as I’ve heard it’s just bad

Lol.

>"Rocky Horror Picture Show" defies categorization. Part musical, part horror, part comedy

It's a musical horror comedy. Pretty clearly. It's just a bad movie

The North Star(1943)

Terminator: Dark Fate, his best performance in a wild action packed movie

We are on the same page. I really enjoyed Borne and haven't finished Dead Astronauts. It's on my short list because I got so far that I need to know the ending. Haven't gotten to it for like a year though.

ah Borne and A Strange Bird are two of my favorites of his. A Strange Bird was heartbreaking.

I will say that I couldn't penetrate Dead Astronauts tho.

The video game includes a mission where you’re Mr Yellow and you’re just slaughtering people left and right in the store and it made the ear scene look tame when you got to that point in the game.

Interesting. I didn’t watch Rocky Horror until I meet my now ex, her dad used watch the midnight premieres back in the day when it first started to develop a cult following. So first we watched the movie together, I loved it, I watched it again like 20 times by myself and learned the callouts. But her dad was one of the few people I know to have seen shock treatment and told me not to bother. But as I said maybe one of these I’ll check it out

Rocky Horror was a huge part of my teenage years. I saw it at the midnight movies dozens of times. Almost every weekend for a few years back in high school. All my fellow Rocky fan friends hated "Shock Treatment", it was always dismissed as being irredeemably awful. I feel their reaction was for a few reasons other than quality. The plot is not related to Rocky Horror's plot at all, the only returning characters are Brad, Janet (both played by different actors) Betty and Ralph. Richard O'Brien, Patricia Quinn, and Little Nell are in it but as different characters. Charles Gray's character may be The Criminologist, but it's never explicitly stated. So, I think Rocky Horror fans felt it was sacrilegious to make a sequel but not follow up on the story, recast Brad and Janet, and not have Tim Curry in it*.

But... if you are able to look past those differences, I think it's a terrific film that's very underrated. The story about reality TV stardom was ahead of its time, the music is just as good as the music in Rocky Horror, and Little Nell has never been hotter.

*From what I've read, they wanted Tim Curry in a sequel and though he did not want to play Frank again, he was willing to return as a different character. >!As Brad Majors, believe it or not. But reportedly at the last minute Curry got cold feet about his ability to do an American accent and dropped out.!<

I loved the books too. I got my buddy to read A Strange Bird and he hated the prose. I really like his writing personally.

"About Time" - my favourite romantic movie and I'm not really into those movies

You know I’ve been super hesitant to watch that as I’ve heard it’s just bad. But maybe one day I’ll suck it up and just put it on

I think it's hot, boring garbage and I hate it. Literally one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

I hope you'll give the follow up a shot too. It's called "Shock Treatment."

This is a bit of a weird take because Ip Man is a pretty standard outing for a Hong Kong, period martial arts movie. I suspect you might like martial arts movies more than you think as long as it's a period piece. You should try anything featuring "Wong Fei-Hung" as a character.

Hamburger the movie

I loved not seeing the actual carnage in the jewelry store. The action that takes place during the escape is just enough to make the subsequent action scenes hit so much harder. I'm not sure the horrors in the warehouse would go over so well if we'd seen just how crazy Mr Blonde was in the store.

The best experience I’ve had with Rocky Horror Picture Show is seeing a live shadow cast performance at a 21 and over show. It was wild and everyone in the audience was participating with the call outs and singing along. Great movie and entertaining as all get out

There was a period in the late 80’s when I went at midnight nearly every Saturday night. I’ve seen it over 100 times, but almost all were in the 80’s

yeah, it was hyped a bit too much for me and I didn't like any of the characters from what I remember?
Still give it like a six just based on comparisons to contemporary movies haha.

I absolutely loved Men though.. so what do I know.

I am not into western films but I love Tombstone.

yeah I've heard that story before. And if it's true, then it's perfect.
