    A remake too far? - Let's Do The Time Warp Again (Again)!!

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    argh. the fu*king rocky horror picture show is my least fav movie ever. period. that is the stupidest, most idiotic film of all time. i'd rather sit through an uwe boll marathon than watch that piece of garbage one time through.

    i saw rocky horror about 20 years ago at the skywalk in cincinnati. i think i still have the mental scars.

    Normally I would be against this kind of thing but the stage version of The Rocky Horror Show has more line-up changes than a football team. It could be kinda fun but this quote bothers me.

    Two-hour remake will use the original screenplay by Jim Sharman and Richard O'Brien but may also include music not featured in the original.
    New songs? Erm, no. Why would anyone use the story but change the songs that made the musical such a success in the first place? What next? Grease? with new songs about Ferrari's and Lambo's? Don't think so...

    ...and they will never find a better Frank-N-Furter than Tim Curry. NEVER!

    Wow, really? I loved it. Hear that Neil?

    It's without a doubt my favourite musical ever. I don't mind a remake. I'm not forced to watching it, after all. And in reality, it's not really a remake, it's just another adaption of it for the screen.

    I have to agree with this comment 100%. Not only is the story a great homage to weirded out 50's sci-fi classics but the songs are absolutely wonderful. It's possible that I might know the musical word for word...

    So who's the new Furter? Marilyn Manson?

    Well, it can't be any worse than Shock Treatment. A remake I can understand, even if it is a bit unnecessary, but that sequel was just terrible!

    Don't say that to some of those crazy kids on the RHS forums, they will tear a person to shreds for such a 'blasphemy'.

    But yeah, it was pretty cack.

    Dammit Janet!

    I think the sequel was suppose to be rather bad, no matter what you thought of the first one...

    Waaaaaggghhhh! Leave it alone Hollywood, just leave it be.

    Guaranteed, the remake WON'T be as good as the original, or anywhere near as good. I've only seen it once, but I thought it was very good. In fact, I got my mum the DVD for mother's day - she's a big fan of it, saw it in South Africa before (and after) the authorities banned it (they eventually unbanned it).

    Stop the remakes! Won't somebody please think of the children!

    Imagine being trapped in an elevator with the f**ker.

    I think it's the overbearing horsey grin that makes him such a scary character.

    I agree. Although there's always competition for worst of all-time, this movie is definitely a lot like hitting your dick with a hammer.

    So it should be obvious that I will not be seeing the remake.
