Okay, I admit, I was definitely one of those teens who stood in line to take in the midnight showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show (more than once).
Partly because, well, seeing a movie at midnight just felt really cool-- and subversive-- and edgy, which are pretty much all the things I wanted to be (at the time!).
And partly because Tim Curry vamping it up in a garter belt was just too good to pass up!
And while I didn't dress up or bring my own props, I did memorize all of the lyrics to all of the songs and would freely belt them out with the best of them.
And so, when I recently read that MTV was planning a remake, that they hope to be ready by next Halloween-- I felt, well, ambivalent.
I mean, does one of the greatest cult classics ever really need a do-over??
I don't know, what do YOU think?
