[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am super into camp and open minded, I swear, and had seen the movie itself several times. So I went to see it in the theater so I could experience the whole crowd phenomenon. I found it to be extremely dated and borderline offensive honestly. They force the “virgins” to do extremely uncomfortable sexual things in front of a jeering crowd - there were a couple of young women who looked like they were to cry. And then the whole time, people (mostly men) would yell things at the screen. Some of them were funny and all of them were well times but many of them were things that would have been funny 20 years ago and now we know better. I would have left if I had thought it was safe - we felt trapped. [/quote]

Oh it's all incredibly offensive! Rocky being created to be a s** slave - but he's also basically a newborn baby. Eating Meatloaf. I mean there's nothing about this movie that isn't transgressive and wrong.

I've probably been to 30 screenings of RH in my life - most recently at a theater where they had performers acting it out as the movie was playing - and I've never seen anyone "forced" to do anything for hte crowd, though. I don't even know how you'd force someone to do anything.

It's just fun, though. As bad a movie as it is, as offensive as parts of it are, the experience of it is fun. If you don't find it fun, I'm not sure you can be talked into it.[/quote]
