I've seen this crazy musical on stage twice, I've done the "Time Warp" for wacky show, I've listened to both the CD and the Vinyl LP record (my parents are huge fans) and last night I finally experienced the 1975 film with Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Barry Bostwick, the great Meatloaf and creator Richard O'Brien.
Scary? In a good way.
Questionable? Definitely.
Shocking? Of course
Not for the Faint Hearted? NOT for the Faint Hearted.
Good? Yes.
Fun? Without a doubt!
Frank: "It was strange the way it happened. Suddenly... you get a break! All of the pieces seem to fit into place. What a sucker you've been, what a fool. The answer was there all the time. It took a small aciddent to make it happen. AN ACCIDENT! And that is how I discovered the secret. That elusive ingredient, that... spark that is the breath of life... yes I have that knowledge! I hold the key to life... ITSELF!"

This puppet has been in my room since I can remember and he always gets himself into the most imaginative places. May your friends be just as strange, but just as friendly and special!
Saturdays have a way of breathing some life into my lungs, making me realize that I am, in fact, more free than I feel during the week. I can do what I want (most of the time), be who I want to be and make my own rules. I hope this Saturday gives all of you out there the freedom you deserve!
I have this crazy little brother... well, actually I have three crazy little brothers, but I will start by telling you about the youngest one, because he is probably the most insane. This eight year old plays with cars and runs around in gardens, but he is at his happiest when he has a gun in his hand or when he is pretending to be the bad guy in whichever movie he just saw. To a casual observer, he might seem like a little boy who needs some spiritual guidance, but what is interesting about this scenario is that this is how his imagination shelters him: if you are the attacker, what have you got to be afraid of?
Luckily, his story always changes: as soon as the hero starts winning, he transforms himself into the new master. Even though he says words even I steer clear of and quotes only the most vulgar dialogue he hears, he still has a humorous innocence and will ultimately always ensure he ends up being the hero in his fictional games.
