I mean the galaxy named Transylvania) Perhaps the story didn't touch you, I guess that also happens, or you just didn't pay much attention. It may not look like much at a glance, most of it is in how it feels, especially for some people.Iolanthe wrote:...
I didn't understand a word of the rest of your message. You are from Transylvania? I did see the Rocky Horror Show on the telly once.
Norman - Sue Thompson
Afraid you'll have to give me up as a lost cause, Eff. All I can remember is a sort of house party, where 2 of the people were dressed normally and the rest were in fancy dress, and the Monster Mash? Or is that entirely the wrong film?Effaeldm wrote:I mean the galaxy named Transylvania) Perhaps the story didn't touch you, I guess that also happens, or you just didn't pay much attention.

Ha! Got you. Darth Vader! I love Harry Potter, my daughter got me all the films for Christmas.Effaeldm wrote:
Well, I've caught a few glimpses of a film on the TV some time ago. About a guy whose dad dressed weirdly, in black helmets and cloaks; and he totally embarrassed his son, who didn't really get the fact that was his father even to start with; though they were likely both lacking some marbles, because they and some other characters carried some variously colored flashlights with them and even tried fencing with them
Some people say it's in the fantastic genre, dunno, didn't see any mentionable special effects. Just have a look at Harry Potter! Those are special effects, can't fail to see them.
Quicksand - David Bowie
Eff, you should know by now, I don't get points in this context (or probably any other). When I first joined the Watch I made the comment "if I have anything useful to say". I'm not an analyser, I take things at face value, therefore I am often too gullible. I'm trying to learn though, so that I can understand the Chronicles a bit more.Effaeldm wrote:Did you get my point as well?
Sultans Of Swing - Dire Straits
I didn't mean anything overly complicated) Just have a look at the Star Wars description I gave - it's the closest analogy to how your RHPS description looks to me) In fact, any story could be retold like that)Iolanthe wrote:...

Gosh, that's a wide question. I haven't been to the cinema for years, not since I took the children to Disneys I think. Most of what I've seen has been on telly or videos that have been bought as presies. Let me see, generally, anything with a good story, no swearing or violence and not too much sexEffaeldm wrote:So, what kinds of films do you like?
Earth Song - Michael Jackson

Fat Bottomed Girls - Queen
Especially since I know the lyrics... Not much swearing and fantastic-styled non-serious violence, really, a laser capable of producing a beam of anti-matter 
As for the story, it's actually good, but requires looking past many distracting things.Well, it's pretty old - 36 years, if I'm not mistaken.Iolanthe wrote:...
And I love old films, particularly Now Voyager, Casablanca etc. Pretty dull, eh?
