[@kathydurow6814]

I remember crushing out on Tim when he was in a BBC production about Shakespeare in the 1970s (on ABC Australia). Then RHPS. Was disappointed when I saw Times Square & he'd turned quite middle aged. Sigh. But always a decent actor & singer, even if I only saw a few of his performances after that. RHPS will always have a place in my ❤️.

If anything this film should teach people kids of all generations don't judge people for being different these days I feel like people just judge each other way too harshly for being different even adults do the exact same thing just judge people harshly for being different

@@mothermagenta9123 unfortunately governments and big $$$$$$$$ co-opted movements and watered things down as well as straight up infiltrating and destroying a whole lot. They knew the people were getting too powerful. It's not all the people's fault. It's still happening now. You tried, what matters is we never stop learning and growing and trying to do better by our communities, and don't shoot down people's dreams to build a better world.

[@meghanbaird6365]

RHPS is one of my absolute favorites. It makes me sad that Tim Curry has such a love/hate relationship with the role. Because he was amazing.

[@Spirits-n-Giggles]

I think it's just one of those things that artists do. All artists have those pieces in their past that they HATE. But art is subjective and I know he appreciates the love he gets from the show's fans. 💖

[@ACinemafanatic]

He probably feels that way because it bombed at the box office and was ignored by pretty much everyone.

[@kathydurow6814]

I remember being absolutely fascinated by Tim Curry in Wil Shakespeare (1978 BBC) probably in my last year of high school. Then only catching RHPS in 1980 or 1981, 5-6 years after it came out. Good actor, but he aged out of heartthrob status pretty quickly after that. Saw him in Times Square (1980 movie) and almost didn't recognise him at first especially out of fancy dress and tights.

[@kimberleyphillips6671]

Yes it makes me sad too. His acting, actions , and vocal talents r completely unfathomable. His voice was so crisp. It's crazy if u think about the this storyline, but if u just enjoy the music and praise this craziness and participate, than it's the best thing to ever experience .

[@scanner973]

I think he was terrified of being typecast.

[@carouselpigeon6686]

My stepdad showed me pictures a while ago of him dressed in drag. It looked eerily realistic (in the sense of femininity) and he explained to me that he wore that outfit with his friends every time that they went to the cinema to watch RHPS. He apparently got hit on by MULTIPLE dudes. It was a very good bonding experience, and it helped us bond.

[@yamahasuperbike2202]

You're step-dad was a freak...

[@littlegreenman609]

Damn, you have a cool stepdad

[@DanielGBenesScienceShows]

Step parents and step kids often feel like the world is stacked against them. Family dynamics can be so cruel. I’m glad you had that fun bonding experience, and I know he is too! And Tim Curry would have been happy to know that as well.

[@vavosa]

Thats so fucking cool

[@lillymsf5946]

Awesome :D

[@kirinrex]

I think it was Tim Curry who said in an interview "It was insane to do it, but it would have been insane not to."

[@joannaegleton4218]

I absolutely ADORE Tim Curry -- so sad to see him confined to a wheelchair. He is one of the greatest actors of all time. I agree with Carlise who says Tim Curry should have a star on the Walk of Fame. If I knew how to start an online petition I'd do it in a heartbeat.

[@vermilliongecko]

Stop using shitty ableist terms like 'confined to a wheelchair'. Wheelchairs get you out of the house and enable you to travel and do almost everything a walking person does. There's nothing 'confining' about them. We disabled people don't want your pity.

[@hammadoolass]

@@vermilliongecko Ooooh - somebody obviously rattled your cage this morning --- or should I say wheelchair ?!

[@august1451]

Hey jsyk "confined" to a wheelchair is broadly considered a vaguely shitty thing to say. They're not confining, they're liberating! (otherwise he WOULD be confined - to his house, exclusively). Wheelchairs are a blessing, & if our society wasn't designed to be so inaccessible, they wouldn't "confine" you from anything!

[@SimpleLifeAlways81]

Confined, lol what a lame thing to say. I’m deaf and should I say that I am reliant on my hearing aids? No! They help me hear - they don’t limit me.

[@1TulsaRed]

​​@@SimpleLifeAlways81 Reliant simply means they're necessary for the expected result. Get over it. BTW, I'm deaf too, so don't get your panties in a wad.

[@hannahscalisi4227]

I'm so surprised Tim Curry has never played Gomez Addams, he'd fit it so well!

He did actually. It was on a direct to DVD release.

[@mseb3909]

He did in the Addams Family Reunion!

[@MrCerir]

[@knitty781]

My best rhps memory? When my daughter and her friends were watching and I came in during the Time Warp and started dancing. These three teens had no idea I knew the film. Then it became a tradition to watch it together.

Core memory right there!

[@knitty781]

@@RavenStorm1031 indeed. We still laugh about it because 15 years later, she's still friends with these women.

[@gracecadet3244]

The impact this show has had is almost immeasurable... I remember watching it for the very first time in 2008 as a bright eyed and bushy tailed 16 year old, a typical "good little Christian girl", knowing I "shouldn't" be absolutely drinking it up like I was. And yet I had never felt more seen and welcome for the freakiness inside that I had barely recognized was lying dormant there. Finally 15 long years later, after battling heaps of denial and indoctrination, thanks to hard-won self-discovery and self-actualization, I can proudly say that I am kinky as an old garden hose and queer as a $3 bill and couldn't be happier!! Be yourselves folks, everyone else is taken 💜

Bless Mr. Curry, where would we be without his wit and his fearlessness as a performer? Whatever people think about RHPS it most definitely is a landmark in cinematic art.

[@katerprincess]

That's the funniest aspect of it! Only once have I heard someone really trash on RHPS. It was an older woman and I was intrigued so I engaged with her. She'd never even watched it 🤣 To this day I wonder if I convinced her to check it out or not! Beyond that, the worst critique is people who say it wasn't their style, yet most still watch now and then

[@dawnbowie352]

Amen.

[@sinnsage]

not gonna act like it’s not hard seeing tim like that at the end, but he will forever be a legend, not only for this movie, but *especially* for this movie. i hope he knows how many queer lives he’s helped empower to not just dream it, but to be it.

My best friend Debbie and I used to go see RHPS every Sat night, like everyone else, lol. One weekend we ran into the director of the national fan club and drove him around downtown St. Louis looking for the bus station. It was a blast. Debbie died in 2000 at 28 from malignant melanoma. I can’t help but think her now. She had the biggest crush on Tim Curry, lol, like we all did. 🙏🏻🖤

My BFF Lara and I went together to audience participation a few times. We talked about one day dressing up like Magenta (her, cuz though naturally blonde, usually black and only occasionally red, her hair had been rather frizzy in high school when we met, and she really was a superfreak 😅) and Riff Raff and have elbow sex to our hearts delight. She passed away unexpectedly in February 2020 at age 32. I wish I could watch the 2016 reboot with her. Much to my surprise I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. I miss her every day and we never did get to realize those cosplay goals, but I know we will do the Time Warp again, eventually.

[@JayVBear45]

Where this LGBTQ iconic movie had it's greatest impact during the later 70s and beyond was in rural states/towns through out middle America. I was in the beginning of my Junior year at ENMU in Portales NM and few months after seeing a midnight screening of RHPS in Clovis NM I finally had the courage to come out as gay and drop out of the pastoral study program and move to a larger town with a burgeoning gay community.

Last ten seconds so emotional Tim has such charm despite everything it's breaking Susan's heart rhps always brings hope

[@odonovan]

Okay... I just had to relive my youth. I'm 66 now and partially disabled. In the early days of RHPS, through the last half of 1981, I was in the Tampa, FL cast (U.C. Players - University Cinema - University Square Mall), as Dr. Frank. My girlfriend, at the time, played Columbia. I think I still have a suitcase somewhere in the garage, with pieces (most? all?) of the costume and some of the props. It's hard to think that was over 40 years ago.

[@ginalahue8694]

RIP Meatloaf. You will be missed.

[@fearlessfosdick160]

Those tap dance turns that Nell does during The Time Warp is my favorite moment in the film.

[@Juror_08]

Idky but when Tim finally spoke at the end and said that’s the one I started crying

[@MrCerir]

This is one of the greatest youtube videos I've ever watched! Especially the clips of Tim. We all assume that actors are told what to do and what to say and how to say it but all they are really given is words on a piece of paper and perhaps the odd instruction. Hearing where Tim got his, "let me show you arrrroueeendd maybe play you a souuueeendd" was magical ❤

[@laurencefoubert1815]

OMG, seeing Tim like this is so heartbreaking. I adore this man, he's fabulous 💔

[@wintersteale8869]

This is a cult classic for a reason. I still watch this regularly and have a New Years Eve party every year where I showcase this movie. We all dance and sing to it having a fantastic time. I have gone to interactive showings and have played Columbia many times in past representations. All the actors were brave as hell for participating in this at the time. LONG LIVE Rocky Horror Picture Show !!!!

[@sofiasnickers4934]

When I was a child, I hated rhps, or I pretended to hate it at least! But truth was even when I frowned and pretended I was irritated by it, I was absolutely thriving with the soundtrack and everything about it. As an adult now, I am a queer feminine man and my adoration for this musical has done nothing but multiply and multiply the more I come to terms with myself and my identity It will always hold a special place in my heart💖

Saw this on my 18th birthday ( now 64yrs old) had to go back the next weekend too convince myself I had seen what I saw, and I WAS HOOKED. Best scene in the entire movie for me is when Frankenfurter comes down in the elevator until he goes back up.

I remember the first time I saw RHPS I was 6 years old and I couldn't sleep, my older brother was watching it on TV so I watched it with him not knowing what it was about, I just loved the music. My mom caught us and started chewing out my brother. He told her to relax I didn't know what was going on, then he gave me a look and said 'well she might know now.' I had to wait until I was of age to watch it again lol. But always will love this version above any others.

Finally, a few years back, One of the theater groups decided to do RHPS and asked if I was interested.

My first RHPS experience was the soundtrack. I learned to Time Warp at church camp. Church camp is also where I learned about Bat Out of Hell as well.
