Socially and culturally, I love it too. Anyone ever
been to a midnite showing of it where people dress up
and bring props and throw things and say the lines,
aka the audience participates in the movie?

Used to do it all the time as a teenager, gotta find
out where/when it's being done and go again.

Memories....lol

Used to do that a lot....then a couple years ago we took Julian and his best
friend, Nick. They were 12. It had gotten a lot racier. The first thing they
did, before the movie started, was invite women to come up and show their
thongs.

I turned to Nick and said, "I am SO glad I asked your mom before bring you
here!" He cracked up.

But we all had a blast. The boys blushed, but they were fine.

We took Holly a few years back, too. It was nasty. There were four adults
there she knew, and she went back and between where Wendy and I were, and the
couple she knew, when she was bored.

It's different theater to theater (and night to night sometimes), but I
wouldn't recommend the going in person anymore. Whatever you might've expected, it
probably won't be as cool, or peaceful, or movie-related.

But the video itself is quiet and relatively peaceful. <g>

Ours involved licking chocolate syrup off a teenaged girl who hadn't seen the
movie before. And a guy with a backpack water walking up the aisles spraying
people during the rain storm.

But we saw it live, and they had little packets of stuff to throw and do. A
light stick. Two cards. About three squares of toilet paper. One sheet of
newspaper. In the olden times, people flipped up half a deck of cards EACH on
each half of the cards verse. Pieces of toast. Rice. Lighters for "there's
a light." And HOW could a theater catch fire if every patron has a full
squirt gun? <g>

But the good old days are gone.

Ugh. DH and I went locally when we were dating at the Seacoast
Repertory Theatre. It was great. Most people dressed, and the only
thing I would have felt even vaguely uncomfortable with with friends
was the black V on my forehead (for Rocky Horror Virgin). I guess
it would be a good idea to screen before taking along your kiddos,
or call ahead and talk to the theater. Another idea is having your
own Rocky Horror movie night where you did your own theatrics; there
are detailed scripts online.

Sorry to post this OT. I don't have a lot of resources and need
help quick. I'd love offlist replies so I don't clutter the list --
hayes at metrocast dot net.

My aunt was killed yesterday in a motorcycle accident. I've been
looking online for scripture to go with a gift I'm making for her
children -- they are Catholic. I am not Christian and have never
read the Bible.

I am making them each an appliqued journal. My younger cousin is 17
and has lots of mental health issues; this is putting her over the
edge. It is hearbreaking to say the least. I am making her an
image of a mermaid (my aunt loves the ocean) reaching upward into a
clearing thunderstorm. For hers I might write a poem myself but am
looking for scripture related to someone lifting you out of darkness
or despair.

For my other cousin, who's 23 and has serious muscular dystrophy, I
am making an image of an angel reaching down from a bright sky, or a
cloudy sky with parting clouds (I'm not sure I can pull off the
latter image). He is far more religious than my other cousin. I am
looking for scripture speaking about looking up to
God/angels/whatever that will be comforting or talking about how the
souls of our loved ones look down/comfort us.

DH has a Bible so the verse references are enough; you don't have to
type the text. I can't find what I want online so I'm hoping
someone has the perfect verses in their heads. A psalm or something
will work too but I don't have a book of psalms. I'd like to leave
it for them the night of the wake, which is Weds. night.

Thanks for your help.

If they're very religious and well-read, then try to use a Catholic Bible
for quoting.

You're doing a really sweet thing. I hope people are able to help you find
something perfect.

***Another idea is having your own Rocky Horror movie night where

This is a great idea. We've been Rocky Horror fans at my house for
years and I have the tape. When I found out that it was playing at
a theater close enough to go, Erica who was 13 at the time and I
went. The theater we went to wasn't as risque as the ones Kathryn
and Sandra went to, but it was the original, uncut movie. You could
see lots of body and pubic hair on Frankenfurter and on the one I
have at home you can't. It was airbrushed out. The scene with
Frankie and Janet in bed, then Frankie and Brad was cut short in the
home version, too. It is still there, but it moves so quickly to
the next scene that you don't think about it much. It was a cool
experience seeing it in a theater, but I think we'll wait until
Erica's older to see it there again.
