Rocky Horror Picture Show

Took my neice to see it, she loved it. It's a silly movie but great.

 

Have any of you seen the movie 'It', based on the book by Stephen King? It's about an evil clown. Anyways, Tim Curry played the clown, which is really interesting considering he also played the uber-sexy Dr. Frank N. Furter. Strangely, though, It is not sexy. Sorry, It.

 

Oh i looooooooooooved that flick, must have seen it ten years ago but was very good. Beats a psycho santa i think

 

first time l seen the movie was when l was about 12 at the drive in movies..

 

Rocky Horris is brilliant!!my friend does the creepiest riff raff impression

 

cant forget meatloaf either

 

And don't forget Christopher Biggins! On second thoughts, best forget him.

 

I think Riff Raff is played by Richard O'Brien in the actual film. Look him up: he's a marvelously intriguing person (Richard, not Riff Raff...although Riff Raff is pretty cool too).

 

a few months ago me and my best friend went to see the play. it was great! i dressed up as magenta and my friend dressed up as columbia. as soon as we got out of the car we ran into these other people who dressed up also. we got our pictures taken with them and sat behind them at the show. the next time it comes around here we are going to go and see it again.

 

You're absolutely right on both accounts. I suppose that you also know that he is the creator of this wondeful musical.

The funny thing about him is that you can also spot him every now and again where you least expect him. For example: I was watching Revolution, an old film with Al Paccino and suddenly guess who appeared as a snobby deranged British cavalry officer? Yep, none other than Dicky himself.

Apart from the TV show The Crystal Maze, does anyone know any other film or show where he's appeared?

 

i'm guilty of seeing it about 125 times in a theater and acting in it 2 times.......went to a huge rhps convention at SUNY albany in 1995 and met Sal Piro

it will always be a special movie that touches me

just hearing the part of "superheros" that cuts to Charles Grey's
"and crawling,
on the planets face,
an insect,
called..... the human race,

lost in time,
and lost in space,
and meaning.....

me ea ning (thats how u notate a "triple chorus" with a keyboard LOL

 

And he's from New Zealand. And he abhors labels and does not have a known sexual preference. Or something like that.

 

w00t! Going to an audience participation of it tonigh, oh bliss and heaven

 

I forgot he's a Kiwi. Explains why he's such a nice bloke. Shame we don;t see more of him in films. I bet a lot of people would love to see him. Maybe we should campaign Holywood. What d' you think?

 

I think it's a brilliant idea, which should be launched as soon as possible!

 

OMG I risked death at the hands of It (for my egregious insult to It's appearance), and NO ONE commented on this amazing fact, that Dr. Frank N. Furter and It are played by the same person! And I even provided you with PICTURES!

 

Tim's done many movies and he's an exceptionally talented actor that doesn't need to be typecast. He has a flair for both comedy and drama. He's appeared in quite a long list of movies, apart from It. Here's a list of some:

Scary Movie II
Charlie's Angels
Addams Family Reunion
The Shadow
The Three Musketeers (1993)
The Hunt for Red Ocober (he plays the doctor)
Legend
Annie
Oliver Twist(1982)

Read his bio. Could I be wrong in thinking that one of the reasons he is so liked by people in general is that he is a rather inspiring fellow? It's very interesting how he started, like a dream come true.
