I admit it. I ...

Count yourself lucky.

 

... as a kid, thought that film had something to do with the Rocky movies.

 

Think Addams Family if Gomez was a transvestite.
A middle-aged white couple straight out of American Gothic breakdown in the middle of nowhere. They take refuge in a mansion home to Rupaul Addams, his minions and a bunch of freaky counter culture ... well, freaks ... there to witness his beef-cake Frankenstein creation. Campy, sexual shenanigans ensue to catchy Broadway numbers complete with dance numbers.

 

Me either. No regrets. None.

 

giggle every time about think about what would have happened if Olivia Newton-John would have married Wayne Newton, got divorced, and married Elton John.....

 

And successfully consummated that final marriage.

 

I'm one of the few people in the world who enjoys the RHPS as is. No audience participation.
It's a lot like Full Metal Jacket... A really great thing that runs off the rails.
FMJ falls off drastically when they leave boot camp. RHPS falls waaaay off during the dinner scene. Up until then, I love it.

 

Just for the record, the Brad and Janet characters are not a middle-aged couple.
They're young and recently engaged to be married.

 

My bad. I had an older Susan Sarandon in my head when I wrote that.

 

Agreed on FMJ except for one thing - the hunt for the sniper had this really grating, nerve wracking music that raised the edginess and tension (for me, at least) of the last 20 minutes or so of the movie.

A few years ago, I looked up what that music was. I finally found the performer and track.

To me, the last half of FMJ was surprising, because it wasn't your standard Vietnam jungle fighting. The urban combat scene was definitely different from most Vietnam movies, jungle, helicopters, etc.

I really absorbed it and was on edge. And that fucking grating music... Damn. It was like a violin being played incorrectly.

 

... I've seen the boot camp portion of Full Metal Jacket a number of times, but don't think I've ever seen a minute of the Vietnam portion. Always seem to turn it off for some reason right after Private Pyle goes all Private Pyle.

.... I've also never seen any of the Godfather movies. Not a minute. I have a hard time investing three hours into a movie, and I've just never felt like doing that for the Godfather movies.
Plus, it insists upon itself.
