The new RHPS movie
|
I'm reading terrible things.
I'll stick with the original. Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???" 
My reaction is the same as it is to every remake: "why?"
Money, obviously.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
Oh for fuck sake.
Stop remaking movies! 
The fun of the original was, for instance, seeing RHPS in a place like Des Moines Iowa in the mid 70s and understanding the public at large would surround the theater with pitchforks and torches and burn the place down of they knew their teens were watching such smut.
Nowadays, the kids have seen FAR worse on their laptops in their own homes. To update Rocky Horror, you'd have to incrementally advance the depravity portrayed to be truly shocking for people my age today. And you see where this idea is heading . . . . . The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
David Cronenberg and John Waters might have to team up to do the remake.

As long as J J Abrams isn't anywhere near it.

LOL, that too.

One thing I can state for certain.
In humanities class, I learned that things must evolve, especially art, which includes media. For reference, when the original Frankenstein movie came out, people were scared of what they saw on the screen. Generations later, people watching the same film were humored by it. The same can be stated for any film that is remade; that it needs to reach the newer generation.

The 'shocking' (but truly funny) bit of RHPS was Dr Frank seducing both Brad and Janet, and this is per 70s mores.
That aspect is going to seem decidedly tame these days. And what do you do to update that ? The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
