Surrounded by unfunny people

This weekend I chose to experience what may be seen as a Halloween tradition. I went to a viewing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show in a small Webb City theater. The main thing I learned from this experience is that I now understand why this movie has become a cult classic.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show, despite whatever its original purpose was, is now just a sad excuse for strange and very unfunny people to dress up and recite tired and repetitive jokes every 15 seconds throughout a mediocre feature-length film. To better understand, just imagine back to your high school days when there was that one kid who insisted on trying to be the class clown and make jokes 20 times a class period with a success rate of 10%. It's like that, where you get so tired of the barrage of unfunny jokes that you just want to punch the kid in the face and listen to the teacher (in this case, movie).

Let me also give you a piece of advice, don't let it be known that you are a virgin (to the movie) when viewing RHPS if at all possible. While the form of humiliation that results may be different depending on the event, in general it's best to find strength in numbers. As I had to publicly make, shall we say, love sounds, I found it was easier to do while hiding behind my youth pastor friend and the buddy wearing the Ozark Christian College shirt.

For further info on this movie and the event surrounding it, please contact Ms. Lueda Phillips, as she saw the film upon it's initial release. Or at least parts of it. For full details on that date and the beaming review she gave the film, email lueda.phillips@ciy.com.
