Not my cup of tea, actually, but clearly he was popular for a reason. I did like him in Rocky Horror.
I’m only saying his politics may have directly led to his death, like so many others.

Love it.

Relatedly, this hallowe'en night there's a special Rocky Horror Show fundraising live stream for Wisconson. They'll have Tim Curry among others, and a fair line-up of bands too.

Unfortunately as a filthy foreigner I'm forbidden from attending or influencing your elections. I won't ruin the surprise and tell you what party it's for 🤔

Someone in the YouTube comments mentioned that too! Requested PMJ cover the whole album of music Rocky Horror!

Dunno about everyone else, but I get a sort of Rocky Horror vibe from this.

Yup, Barry Bostwick. Also played "Brad" aka "Asshole" in The Rocky Horror Picture Show

SPEAK ENGLISH OR DIE

Yellow Machinegun anyone? They don't always wear the school girl thing, but the first album I owned of theirs featured them wearing schoolgirl outfits and SCREAMING!

This ain't new or news. Lamer, poppier version of something that's been around for more than 20 years.

My wife works in fashion, designs for Urban Outfitters, PacSun, Roxy, Quicksilver, etc. etc. Your girlfriend or wife probably owns either a handbag or an article of clothing designed by her. The styles and trends that are in take us all the way back to Cramps/Misfits/Rocky Horror fashion sense, amalgamated with '90s nihilism and modern pop (often hip hop, but in the case here, J Pop) trends.

Nothing new is happening and that makes it SOOOOOO much easier to anticipate the trends and succeed in making people think something "new" is on the horizon. lol

In reply to this comment by shuac:
It's actually the exact opposite. The cult channel is for cult-related stuff (scientology, branch-davidians, westboro baptist church, reverend Sun Myung Moon, etc.) not for cult classics (Buckaroo Banzai, Rocky Horror Picture Show, etc.)
>> ^SpaceOddity:

LOL i would've added it to Cult but I assumed it was cult as in "cult classic"



Good to know, thanks for educating me

And then Tony Rocky Horror developed a bit of a speech impediment after that.

That is an interesting piece of info I did not know about. I never really understood why they went with Lynch for Dune, either. Not that that was a bad idea, I know a lot of people complain about Lynch's adaptation but I liked it a lot. I bet Jodorowsky's version would have been absolutely insane and even less on point with the Dune novel. I can only imagine all of the shit Jodorowsky could shove into that.
wiki: "he planned to cast the surrealist artist Salvador Dali as the Emperor Shaddam Corrino IV, who requested a fee of $100,000 per hour. He also planned to cast Orson Welles as the Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, who only agreed when Jodorowsky offered to get his favourite gourmet chef to prepare his meals for him throughout the filming.[23] The book's protagonist, Paul Atreides, was to be played by Jodorowsky's own son, Brontis Jodorowsky. The music would be composed by Pink Floyd, Magma, Henry Cow and Karlheinz Stockhausen"
Damn, man has some fine taste in music. And yep, looks like it would have been insane.

>> EDIT: oh yeah, it's all there on IMDB but I won't spoil it for anyone.

That's because Dan O'Bannon recruited Giger for the alien creature design after working with him on Jodorowsky's failed attempt to make Dune.



Weird times. The days of hiring directors like Lynch to take over a science fiction epic are over. It didn't work and it's not what people want to see.

If Jodorowsky had made Dune, it would have given a handful of people hard ons and Rocky Horror would have fallen to the way side as the midnight movie standard. All in all, I think there'd be less trannys and Hedwig and the Angry Inch would never have been made.

Frank Herbert, Dan O'Bannon, Jodorowsky, Dali, Welles, and Pink Floyd all under one roof? The entire movie would have been one big water of life spice orgy. Pregnant women viewing the movie would've given birth to abominations possessed by Orson Welles.

Cross promote the body parts....

I just went and looked up "Barry Bostwick" - OMG I never would have recognized him here - I just know the Old Barry Bostwick.
- http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000960/

He's also from Rocky Horror Picture Show as well - just never would have put that all together

I am very curious as to how this plays on the sift....
