So Glee is doing Rocky Horror Picture Show for their next episode. Am I the only one who is against this? Well, part of it stems from my hate for Glee in general. Absolutely no originality at all. At least come up with one original song. Covers done by bands that have original work is fine, but someone or a group that profits off of another's success? Thats just blatant copywrite infringment. Anyways, back on topic. Well, Rocky Horror is a risque cult classic from the 80's. Glee is one of the most popular television shows right now. See how these two things don't mix? And anyways, I keep hearing from the fans of Glee just how excited they are for the Rocky Horror show. In response, I ask if they're fans of Rocky Horror. The overwhelming response? "Well, I've never seen it". HOW CAN YOU BE EXCITED FOR A REMAKE OF A MOVIE THAT YOU'VE NEVER SEEN!? Do they know the music? No. Do they know the characters? No. Do they go to midnight showings of the movie and dingy Cleveland theatres surrounded by at least 100 transexuals and crossdressers, and still enjoy the movie? NO! I just find it a bit contradictory when people say, "Oh, I love all the glee songs!", yet either don't know the songs beforehand, or would never listen to the original songs because they hate that type of music. it really grinds. my. gears.

I started off as such a huge Gleek. I was there for the pilot episode and everything. Now it's just gotten old. The plot is formulaic in the sense that it tries to be surprising and unexpected. It was fun for a while and then it just got annoying. I agree with everything you said.
ReplyDeleteIf this comment sounds bitter, good. I bet the Glee version of Rocky Horror will be stupid anyways. :/
