Started off horrified, enjoyed it more as it went on, then found out that Tim Curry will be playing the Narrator / Criminologist and that’s when I shut my fool mouth.  It’s been a hellyear, OK?  If any of this helped Tim recover even a little bit from his stroke then I’ll be fine with it.  I will take what I can bloody well get.

    1. 2012, as it turns out. Apparently he’s been using a wheelchair since. I don’t think he’s done more than one or two things since that weren’t voice-only (he’s done a LOT of that, though.)

  1. Y’know .. given the *tiny* budget ($1600 (in 1970-dollars) for costumes) Rocky Horror was made on .. it really has me wondering what could be done *today*, with CGI ..

    Now, I guess we’ll find out….

    p.s. It’s just a jump to the left ..

  2. I had read it was going to be broadcast live, like The Sound of Music last year, but I’m not seeing that in the articles now.

  3. Not sure about it…but since I saw movie (many times) and later the London stage show in 1979…I will probably have to watch at least once or twice. Interestingly enough when I was in law school in the late 70s, a classmate told me that she and he husband were investors in the original movie. After it bombed originally (closed in a week in Chicago), they thought they had a tax loss…
