Reminder: Rocky Horror Picture Show revival on Fox tonight.

It promises to be… different.  The reviews are in already, and they’re kind of horrified: the cognitive dissonance being displayed by people who have realized, belatedly, that they’re now all bourgeois and respectable is highly entertaining.  And it is admittedly odd to see the arc of this movie from ‘the very-definition-of-oddball-fringe’ to ‘Fox television special.’  For I am now bourgeois and respectable, myself – and there may be more grey in my hair than brown, these days.

Still, I will watch Fox’s Rocky Horror Picture Show. Why?  Because Tim Curry’s in it. I’m pretty sure that he’s sicker than they’ve let on, but he wants to be in this production, dammit, and he’s going to be in it. And if he’s there, then I guess I gotta be there as well.

You can watch it here.

So, hey, they’re remaking Rocky Horror for TV.

October 20th.  Gonna be on Fox.

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.
