Brad and Janet run into trouble on their honeymoon - a flat tire, and the only place in sight is the castle of the lovely Dr. Frank-N-Furter. Don't be shy-who else loves this movie?

Guys, Rocky has my comics. OMG. Author pals, check the Library of Congress database. The planet of Erid might have your books, too.

neutral · AI labelView post →I saw Project Hail Mary at the movies & loved it. One of the best movies I've seen in ages. Smart, interesting plotting. Beautifully human. Made me feel feelings. Loved Rocky. And I've always gently hated Ryan Gosling but this movie made me like him at last. Recommended. Good good good. Statement.

More than just a midnight movie, RHPS became a crucial gathering place for queers, punks, theater kids, and so many others looking for their place...and each other. Irreverent? Yes. Wild? Always. Nonetheless: Don't dream it, be it.

Curry is perfect in the movie.

neutral · AI labelView post →Just saw Gosling talk about the fact that they of course could not hide Rocky for a film. “It’s like selling ET as a film about a kid whose parents got divorced.” He is correct. Film and books are different. They’re sold differently. It would have been an enormous mistake to hide it.
