The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let's Do the Time Warp Again (2016)
Too slick but I basically liked it
A slick polished & somewhat contrived copy of a rough raw work of heart. It's not bad, and I need to watch it again, but it will last as a curiosity for fans of the Original.
Meanwhile, I cannot find who played The Criminologist Tim Curry's Assistant. Was that Little Nell, the original Columbia?
Of course, while the original was subversive & even transgressively sexual in it's day, this could hardly recapture that as what was outrageous then is much more accepted now. And the coat of arms in the back with BE IN above the Rainbown Spectrum? TOO Obvious.
Still, I'm left with mixed feelings. This was a work of affection instead of totally heartless capitalization.
Brave New World (1980)
I hated the NBC broadcast, I love the complete version...
When it aired in 1980, I wondered what the heck happened to the promised BNW miniseries with a one-night broadcast that left so much out.
Almost three decades later, due to the miracle of the Internet, I saw the entire version as broadcast by the BBC & then bought the DVD. I totally loved it. The cartoonish Gil Gerard Buck Rogers-ish special effects and the superficial characterization, much disdained, totally fit the "soulless streamlined Eden" of the book.
Btw, back in 1980, I was fortunate enough to buy the PB tie-in, which I still own.
Please put this on official DVD!
