I have "Shock Treatment" on VHS. It was nearly impossible to get when I was looking for it. I didn't think it was available on DVD, so imagine my excitement when I found it on Amazon.
The first time I watched it, I didn't care much for ST. However, I think now would be a great time to get people into it, because the world in which it takes place is eerily similar to the current overexposure to reality TV.
I won't be watching a remake of "Rocky Horror," just like I refused to watch the new version of "Hairspray." How would they expect to accomplish the appeal of the original? It wasn't meant to be as terrible & fun as it turned out to be, and that's why people had fun with it. Would the new version be redone to seem more legit? Or would they make an attempt at intentional camp? <Shudder> However, my morbidly curious side is dying to know who they will cast in this...

I kinda Like The Rocky Horror Picture Show. It didn't happen until I got older though. For some reason the Singing gets me Grooving. I think People need to come up with there own original ideas and Leave the classics alone. Theres too many Remakes now a day.

The allure of this film is lost on me as well, I just don't get it. However, I think a remake is probably not going to capture the magic again either.Leave a comment:

'Course almost no one remembers the original 'Rocky' sequel, 'Shock Treatment'.. Made by the same team, it came out in 1981. Quite an attempt to cash in on Rocky's cult status, but it never much caught on as a valid sequel.Leave a comment:

I heard Richard O'Brien owned the rights to the stage shows.
I imagine it will be some kind of transvestite version of High School Musical....er...not sure if that's a bad thing really....

So does that mean that Richard O'Brien no longer owns the rights to this? I thought they needed his permission to remake his work. This is a pretty lame idea. Why do they feel the need to remake it?Leave a comment:

Rocky Horror REMAKE
There is going to be a Rocky Horror Picture Show remake.
Sky Movies in the UK and MTV are planning on remaking the 1975 Cult movie.
Richard O'Brien has said that he will have nothing to do with it...don't blame him.
Will it be time to do the Time Warp again.....probably not...
How can they even think of trying to recast Frank-N-Furter ???
