Hi everyone! 

First post from the new house! As some of you might now, we are having major internet issues in this place. They haven't even dug the space for the cables yet. They didn't let us know and now they are stalling majorly. So I'll try my best to record and upload as per usual, but things might be messy, the schedule might be messy and so on. Hopefully this will be fixed soon!

For the movie: well that was SOMETHING! :D

Yes! if you like musicals, you must watch Little Shop of Horrors! It is cute, and funny, and not very scary, as the name might suggest. A personal favorite of mine, please check it out! Rick Moranis, Steve Martin, John Candy, Bill Murray, to name a few of the actors within.

While I don't think this will replace "Moulin Rouge" as Mary's favorite musical, I hope it makes her top 20, at least.

The "well that was SOMETHING!" response made me want to watch this with you right away. I am glad you liked it and you got a break from the scary content for a little bit. In a lot of places in the US, there are midnight showings of this movie and it is very interactive crowd participation thing that I think you would enjoy. I know since Covid they don't play as often, but generally there are weekly showings in October if you ever make it out this way.

Thank you for this, Mary. You are the best. In my town, every month, a local independent movie theater, that basically shows old classics and independent films, have a showing every month of Rocky Horror Picture show. It was the showing of the movie and a Halloween costume party, but I had to work. So this means a lot I get to see your reaction to this. This movie was a flop when it came out in theaters for obvious reasons, but when they did a last night midnight showing, a lot of people turned out for what was suppose to be the final showing in theaters. There were even people dressed as Tim Curry's character Dr. Frank N Furter. Now, this movie plays every month at the local Independent movie theater and other states and countries that do their own Rocky Horror Picture Show event. You have no idea how big this has become that different places in the U.S and other countries when not only show the movie, thy also have actors reenact the movie while it's playing and even people shouting out different words like Janet (bitch) and Brad (asshole) lol. Rest In Peace Meat Loaf and other actors in the film that are no longer with us. The guy playing Rocky, not only could he sing, I don't think he even knew English either. So he had a voice over on his part. He was in only two films and just quit acting afterwards. He doesn't really care for the movie he has mentioned, yet he's a big part of Rocky Horror Picture Show

Your ending of the movie is different from the one I'm watching. The part where Brad and Janet are crawling toward each other. That's not on our copy of the movie. in the movie, their laying on the ground and then everything starts spinning. Weird, but I was excited for you to watch this

I don't care about people contorting themselves so they can get in thirt days of halloween content. Just watch whatever you feel like, the entire point of these things is that I want to watch people be comfortable reacting to something, not have them thrown in the deep end. Not that it can't be fun to watch folks squirm, but half of us probably don't care that much about this season to begin with - and honestly, why go so hard on horror when there are plenty of vaguely fall-themed movies? Forcing the issue just reduces enjoyment for everyone involved, no need to cater all that hard to a formula that has gotten old pretty quickly as far as I am concerned.

Glad you were able to watch something less scary. I hope you don't feel like you have to torture yourself with things you don't really want to watch. I can only speak for myself, but I'd much rather you enjoy the movies you see, rather than traumatize yourself for our enjoyment. :) That said, have you seen "Little Shop of Horrors" from 1986? It's another musical that's maybe a tiny bit scary, but not nightmare-inducing. It's also very funny and the songs are insanely catchy. There are two versions: the original theatrical cut (1 hour, 34 minutes) and a director's cut (1 hour, 43 minutes). Some people would probably disagree with me, but I'd actually recommend the theatrical version. The director's cut is closer to the play the movie is based on, but I honestly think the theatrical version works better onscreen (and it's the one I think you'd enjoy more). Congrats on the new house! Hope you're able to get settled in alright.

The man that plays Rocky, absolutely loathes this movie, and greatly regrets his part in it. He actually quit acting because people associated him with the movie.

You asked if the actors knew what they signed on for. Most of them had been in the stage production for a couple years. Richard O’Brien (Riff Raff) wrote the musical and it opened in London in 1973. Tim Curry originated the role of Frank-N-Furter. The actresses playing Magenta and Little Nell were in the original stage production, too. Meatloaf played in the Los Angeles production. So the only new people in the film were Barry Bostwick (Brad), Susan Sarandon (Janet), Peter Hinwood (Rocky) and the actors who played Dr. Scott and the Criminologist. It had been running on stage non-stop for a couple years, so they all knew what they were getting into. Peter Hinwood regretted it because he said it stunted his career. That’s unfortunate. It certainly didn’t hurt any of the other actors, though! And over the years, some pretty big names in film, TV, stage and music have been in stage productions (David Arquette, Raúl Esparza, Danny DeVito, Joan Jett, Evan Rachel Wood, Jack Nicholson, Lea Michele, Dick Cavett, Luke Perry, Stephen Fry, George Lopez, Laverne Cox, Adam Lambert, etc.). I know you don’t know a lot of these actors/musicians, but they’ve had really big careers.

I think “Little Shop of Horrors” is a good choice. I don’t like horror movies and I refuse to see most of them. But “Little Shop of Horrors” is not intended to be scary. It’s supposed to be a comedy. I saw the original stage production and loved it! They may have played up a couple little things in the movie for effect. And on stage, you’re just mesmerized at the incredible puppetry — no film tricks! But I don’t think most people find the movie scary. Stay away from “Sweeney Todd,” though. Great music, but that one is really dark.

Bryan Tuck

I don't find "Little Shop" to be scary, either. I was just thinking that on a Mary scale (sorry, Mary), there might be a couple of mild scares. :)

I did a TV show with Susan Sarandon (Janet) last Fall…. Remind me and I’ll show you the pictures.

58:40 Mary! I saw your reaction! It ok its my first time too lol.

You should watch Little Shop of Horror (The musical not the old B movie) if you liked this, very similar though with more polish and less weird.
