    It's Just a Jump to the Left

    Yesterday afternoon, right after Little Miss Field Day comes home from school (they started last Monday), I take a break from the deck project to get a drink and get out of the sun for a few minutes.

    She has a question for me...

    One of the kids in her acting class invited her to join a bunch of the kids for an upcoming weekend midnight movie showing. The Rocky Horror Picture Show. She wanted to know if I was OK with it.

    Of course. Just have to get used to her growing up, this is merely another rite of passage.

    ...then she tells me that Mom already gave her blessing, she just was afraid I wouldn't approve. So I went over to what's left of my album collection, and pulled out the original cast album, and assured her that I was fine with it.

    Then I pulled out the other album... the one printed with Dr. Frank N. Furter's picture on the vinyl. She asks, "who's that?" She'll find out...

    You gonna give her a bag of the right props to bring along?

    Tim Curry has done so many things. Wish he'd do some music again. Very Stimulating!

    AAAaaahhh, the midnight shows that went on for years, costumes, dancing on the stage, throwing crap at the screen... Rocky Horrid but I LOVED it! That was the first time I saw Tim Curry, then The Hunt For Red October and Pennywise in Stephen King's IT. "Down here they ALL float." No wonder kids are afraid of clowns!

    Tidbit: Red October (1990) was Paramount and only 9 months later WB released IT. (No, not information technology.) Makes you wonder about going from premier to sound stage, contracts and stuff... hmmm.

    I don't have any props anymore. They got left behind when I moved from State College, distributed to friends.

    I will have to dig up a water pistol, and some bread. I don't think the theatre permits lighters.

    Jess is most familar with two Tim Curry roles: The Hunt for Red October, and Home Alone 2. And if she thinks about it, Clue. She has no idea, no clue what she's in for. I don't usually watch Rocky Horror on TV; it's just not the same without the audience.

    Now, of all the actors you saw in that movie, who'd ever figure that Janet (Susan Sarandon) would be the one to really make it big? My money would have been on Tim Curry; oh, he's certainly been successful, but she's eclipsed him.

    And remember: Meatloaf. It's what's for dinner!!

    She will need a copy of the Plain Dealer for rain scene. Since I live nearby, I can supply that.

    Once upon a time down Dallas way Wilma told Marvin don't let your Meatloaf. He took mom's advice, found Paradise By The Dashboard Light and went like a Bat Out Of Hell disguised as Eddie the delivery boy straight to the Transylvanian Convention only to be killed by Dr. Frank N. Furter with an ice axe... oh well.

    Just don't give Little Miss Field Day an ice axe, it's rather clumsy for cutting meatloaf.
