Hello Everyone!

I was wondering has anybody seen the movie "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" ? That is the best movie.

What movies do you guys like?

haha. Who the hell hasn't. That is a classic film. Showed the depth of Tim Curry's acting capabilities. He's such a "Sweet Tranvestite" from "Transexual Transylvania". I was bummed when he dies at the end though. That movie kicks ass. People say Grease is the best musical of all time, I think the forgot about RHPS when they gave out that title.:)

Other movies I like. Right now "Plain Clothes" is my favorite. It's a mystery movies from 1988. It's about a high school teacher who was killed and a student was blamed for it. His older brother Nick who is a cop goes undercover to try to figure out who killed the teacher and prove his brothers innocense. Oh yeah and George Wendt is in it. haha. I found a press kit on ebay for the film which will be mine in a few short hours. yay.

OMG I know! Actually I can't stand grease after "Summer Loving" I loose interest in it!

lol Dammit Janet! I LOVE YOU!!! lol Omg I have the soundtrack to it! and i've managed to perfect the Time warp!!!!! i know i know i have no life!! lol Im a loser!

BTW: Tim Curry has the Best legs I have ever seen! On a Man or Woman and they really stand out in that Corset and those Fishnets!!! lol! Also He has a perfect triangular nose! Him and Shelley Long have the two most perfect noses I have ever seen.

I love 80s movies, One of my favorite 80s actresses (for movies lol) is Kathleen Turner! Omg I love "The Romancing Stone", "The Jewel of the Nile", "Peggy Sue got married", "Switching Channels", "accidental tourist" etc. I am dying to see Body Heat (Teddy is in it!!!:D ) and I am dying to see "Night Shift" But my Idiotic piece of crap blockbuster doesn't have either! lol OmG and I am Dying to see "Outrageous Fortune" although Bette Midler seriously gets on my nerves, Shelley is in it:D and probably the best comedian of our time George Carlin!!

OMIGOSH!! I live in Harvard Square for school and they play Rocky Horror at midnight every Saturday and they have this stage-show thing to go along w/ it. They even give you a bag to go w/ it filled w/ stuff to throw at the actors. It's awesome, but a little scary--pretty much like the movie. That movie's SO classic! :D

DianeChambers87
06-15-2003, 08:22 PM
OMG that sounds great!! Do people dress up as the characters?! I would be one of the people there every night!!!

Ria
06-15-2003, 08:55 PM
People acting dress up like the characters--people going dress up just generally weird. There are some addicts who have never missed a show. The first time you go though, they write a V in lipstick on your forehead (for Virgin) and make you do all kinds of crazy stuff. If you ever visit Boston, it's worth checking out (after you go to Cheers of course ;) ).

lol ofcourse!!

NORM
06-15-2003, 09:42 PM
Awesome. I'll be there on a saturday. RHPS is so sick. Man you go to Harvard. You must be ****ing brilliant.:)

Ria
06-15-2003, 09:52 PM
Um, . . . I'm convinced they have to let in a few mistakes. They call it "diversity" ;) . But it's a fun place to live anyway. Lots of "interesting" people hang out in the square. The RHPS freaks, I mean afficionados, fit right in. :D Ok, NORM, you convinced me--it's time to see Wendt in other movies. Which should I rent first?

NORM
06-15-2003, 09:58 PM
HAHAHA. Well. Hmmmm. I'm nervous. No one has ever asked me about Wendt. Uhh. My personal favorite is "PLain Clothes". I like him in "Welcome to PLanet Earth". Oh "House" is a good one, and easy to find. He was on comedy central today.On "outside Providence". That should get you started. Any other questions you have about Wendt. haha. this is fun.:lol:

Ria
06-15-2003, 10:05 PM
Ok, actually I do have another question: Second City--have you seen his skits while he was in it? Was he good? I seriously admire anyone who can do improv comedy. That must be so scary. As far as the movies go, I don't think I'm ready to see Norm as a bad guy. You said he was often the bad guy in movies. Are any of them comedies? Or at least dramas where he is the good guy? I think I have to ease myself into his more serious roles.

NORM
06-15-2003, 10:13 PM
Oh the second city viseos are my favorite. They have great funny skits. Yeah Wendt and the whole cast is great. In one he is wearing a diaper and this bonnet and is singing. haha. they are great. Ok well if u don't want to see him as mean or like whatever. In Plain Clothes he is just kind of nutso. Welcome to Planet earth is really funny, if you would like to see Wendt bite off an ear or rip off someones leg and beat them to death with it.:) Comedies, rent "Gung Ho". "House" is a horror movie but Wendt is cool. "Man of the House", kiddie film but Wendt was good in it. Coincidently his kids name is Norm in the movie. More questions, Please!:) :) I like to help out.

DianeChambers87
06-15-2003, 10:18 PM
Yeah Steve, I have Man of the House on tape (coincidently right after Shelley Long's "loosing it") and find it so weird every time George says Norm to his son...it's just weird lol!!

Ria
06-15-2003, 10:24 PM
Maria, are you a fan of Shelley, or just Shelley as Diane? When I first started watching Cheers, I thought she was incredible, but I didn't really love her body of work. Maybe I just saw the wrong things.

Ria
06-15-2003, 10:27 PM
Ok, I'll rent a Wendt film this week and report back. :)

NORM
06-15-2003, 10:28 PM
YAY! haha I shouldn't be this excited should I? Oh well. your helping me with the what's up on Wendt and cheers and I am turning you into a future Wendtiac. HMMMMMMM.

DianeChambers87
06-15-2003, 10:32 PM
Im a BIG diane fan, but I do follow Shelley's work as much as I can. The thing that has me convinced about her is that, any actress that can play diane opposite Sam Malone still be comedic and come of as misplaced and not really snobby has to be incredible! Look for her early 80s material like Night Shift, Caveman, and well this one is not early 80s its more like late 80s Outrageos fortune. I know she also did a movie with tom hanks and then she ofcourse did loosing it with tom cruise, let's just say Im not the biggest Brady Bunch movies fan. But hey it's pretty hard to play carol brady and i think it shows her diversity and ability as an actress. I am also a BIG Sam fan, and a Ted Danson fan.

Ria
06-15-2003, 10:39 PM
Ok, I did like Night Shift and Outrageous Fortune and I thought Troop Beverly Hills was funny, but Caveman and Dr. T and the Women sort of scared me. After them, I abandoned Shelley's movies in favor of Bebe's (who has some pretty bad ones under her belt as well). BUT, I am going to see Writer's Block in two weeks--Bebe and Jay Thomas--It's a Cheers bonanza! :)

NORM
06-15-2003, 10:40 PM
she was in "The Money Pit" with Tom Hanks.

Ria
06-15-2003, 10:42 PM
I love that you have a term for "a person obsessed w/ Wendt." Other people's enthusiasm is way contagious though. I'm totally susceptible to other people's interests, and since I already love him in Cheers. . .

NORM
06-15-2003, 10:46 PM
Well tahnk you Ria. Most of my friends walk in my room and look at me and say "Dude, get help". haha. Nice to know someone out there applauds my dedication and idolization for George Robert Wendt!
