The age old tale of "I was going to do Something but I can't remember What"

Two things from my childhood (yeah, my childhood was a bit…unique) that give me joy, blended into one joyful image.

I couldn’t sleep the other night, and so I thought of watching The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975). All I knew about it was the name and the intriguing picture above with Tim Curry looking damn fine on them lips.

I’m actually happy I didn’t know anything about this film because gosh darn it, was it a nice surprise. I’ve never seen anything quite like it and probably never will. 

But here I just want to say one thing, and it is this: if my boy Adam Warlock’s in Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3 and “The Sword of Damocles” song doesn’t play whenever he’s born, then what’s the point of having a Marvel Cinematic Universe anyway?

Baby boy Rocky here is straight up him, I mean Adam, I mean “Him”, as he was formerly known. Damn it, look at it:

You got the blonde bowl-cut; you got the tan (although Adam’s gold but close enough like); you got the black eyeliner in some shots; you got the golden shorts; you got the “made to be the perfect man by the power of mad science”, Dr. Frankenstein style. 

You also got that sweet sweet newborn angst, where seconds after being born, baby’s already complaining about his life with lyrics such as:

“Oh! Woe is me! My life is a misery/mistery”

and

“I woke up this mornin’ with a start when I fell out of bed; And left from my dream it was a feelin’ of un-nameable dread”

Actually, you know what? In Guardians 3, don’t even recreate the scene or play the song, just have the film suddenly cut to that exact musical number with no explanation. Put a yellow filter over it to make it seem like everything’s gold if you must, but that’s it. You go:

And then BAM:

See? Trust me they won’t even notice the scene transition, and you save some money.

Oh and this! These two come in wearing these costumes at one point in the film. I wasn’t sure you could properly pull off that old costume in live-action form, but here they are, proving me wrong (they even have a little lightning bolt and everything):

I don’t know, there’s just something about the idea of Tim Curry’s character, the amazing astounding Dr. Frank-N-Furter, going through his 60′s Fantastic Four mags to get some ideas for his next creation, thinking “yeah, I could totally make this this big man-baby from the comics, no sweat”:

If you could you probably would too let’s be honest.

But yeah, time to put that ost on a loop for at least a week now, thank you movie (especially that Time Warp song, it’s not gonna let go of me for a good couple of days).

I don’t know why I thought that a double feauture of Mad Max: Fury Road and this would help me go to sleep, because it didn’t. Great fun though.
