I Love Rocky Horror Picture Show

What are your thoughts on the Rocky Horror reboot being released in two weeks? I'm pretty pumped and will definitely watch, but I'm a little worried about its influence on the original movie and its cult following.

I think it will be horrible. They should find something new instead of ruining the original.

The trailer doesn't look horrible but not great either. I wish they had gotten someone to cross-dress again instead of a transgender person. It feels like blatant pandering.

Yeah, Curry's manly features and mannerisms were what made Frankie so memorable.

Yoiks! The first time ever I actually felt made eyes widen as I read that.

@GeniUs: I don't understand.

I couldn't believe they'd change a basic of the plot, I imagine it loses an enormous amount of the flow and comedy of seeing a man dressed as a woman. How do they even incorporate transgender into this? Do they keep telling us?

Yeah that's kind of my point. 👍🏿
