I just came back from the midnight showing of "The Rocky Horror Picture" show. There is a cinema in Munich, which has been showing this movie each week for decades, including audience participation.
I had already planned to watch this movie for this marathon. And when a friend proposed to watch this movie in the cinema, I immediately agreed. The idea originally came at the Oktoberfest, after the band had played "Time Warp".

I didn't really know what to expect of this cinema visit. I almost feared that we would be the only one not dressing up. But there wasn't anyone who did. I also expected that there will be maybe ten people or so. After all, the movie has been playing there forever. I was really surprised, that the cinema (which is a small one - holding around 60 seats) was packed to the last seat.

This movie is one of my all-time favorite musicals even if it is a little ourageous. The B-movie parody style makes this movie time-less.
I never get tired hearing the movie's soundtrack. I first came to attention of this musical, because of my mother. She is a big fan of it and had urged me to watch it. I first saw it when I was about 12 and even then I enjoyed the music.

This is a movie I never seen before... but was recommended to me by a few people. I wouldn't say this is the best haunted house movie I seen... there is a bit of cheese involved here. But it is definitely one I enjoyed. This movie brought me back to my teen years when I was really going hard watching every horror I could find. I am actually surprised that I haven't seen this one before. Some scenes lagged a bit.... but over all it kept my attention. Over-all I am happy with this one.

This is a movie that a friend here at the forum was kind enough to send me... as he ended up with two copies. So I must once again say Thank You! I am looking forward to checking out the other movie on this disc (Twice Dead).

I always felt that South Park got better and better with each season. But this season is a bit of a let-down. Seems like they are running out of steam a little bit.
My favorites in this season are the episode were Wendy challenges Cartman to a fight and he tries to get out of it, and the two-parter "Pandemic", which is a great Cloverfield parody with giant guinea pigs attacking. I think they did a great job with the hand-held camera "footage".
The episode "Elementary School Musical" makes me a little bit curious to watch the "High School Musical" movies, to see if they are really that bad
