Post here if you never got into the whole Rocky Horror thing.
I mean, I like Tim Curry in drag as much as the next person, but I just couldn't get into it...

2. I never did anything for me. I still don't think I've ever seen the whole
movie. I just never got into it at all.

3. Once you get past the theatricality of the live performances...
during the movie...everyone dressing up as their favorite characters and yelling out the dialogue during the movie....

"Rocky Horror" isn't...a very good movie, actually.

7. Didn't really work for me
Couldn't see what the fuss was about except as an exercise in mass hysteria and group behavior.

8. Lame, lame, lame.
My lovely wife loves it, but to me it's kind of pathetic and campy.

11. I had some friends that were into it but I had never seen it.
The first time I tried to watch it was when it was first televised. What annoyed me the most was that they didn't just televise the movie. They set a camera up in the back of the theater and televised the theater goers as well. There were people moving around in front of the screen and talking and carrying on. It just didn't work for me. I've been meaning to rent it someday but I've never got around to it.

12. I never saw the whole thing
I refused to go when it was the cool thing to do because I just didn't feel that it was interesting.
I bought the VHS tape about 10 years ago or something for 5 bucks. I have yet to watch it.

13. I was a "The Wall" gal
the local movie theater would show both Rocky Horror and Pink Floyd's The Wall. Our group would always go see The Wall

16. Honestly, the movie sucked
It was a horrible, horrible movie - but it was the live participation that made it. Basically, something strange to do at midnight.

But the movie itself, short of showing a young Susan Sarandon topless, was pretty lame...

17. Oh definitely.
I love good, campy films, but no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't get into it.
