Rocky Horror Picture Show

I really don't get the title. Rocky wasn't even a big part of the story.
The film brought up a really good question though. Is promiscuity evil? Dr. Frank was the pinnacle of promiscuity in this film. He was also a murderer, cruel, and slightly(understatement?) insane. Yet, the audience can't help but love him. What is the message the author was trying to get across?

Riget

I waited to post this until I had watched both parts. I LOVED this film. It was incredibly long but it had such an awesome mixture of humor, absurdity and horror. At first I thought that it was going to drag on and be boring but now I'm really unhappy that they didn't make the final part because I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS.
I don't know if there is a hero in this series and that makes me happy. It is so much more realistic this way. No character is completely detestable or completely saintly. I have to say that the character that I felt the most sorry for is Little Brother. He lives and dies in such a painful way. However, I won't say that his life was pointless. In thinking about it I thing that he had the opportunity to make the ultimate decision in life. He had to choose between good and evil. The decision wasn't easy, he could have chosen evil and lived w/o pain. Instead he choose good and lived and died in horrible pain.

The Devil Bat

I love this movie! It is the quintisential old horror movie w/ the classic archetypical characters: the mad scientist, the savy reporter, and (my favorite) the french maid. Horror movies now just don't have the charm that they did back then. Maybe now horror movies are more real, but i don't see that as necesarily a good thing. This film has such a great air of optimism.

The Magic Flute

Paul is probably disapointed in me for not using the ....ummm, Finish (?) title, but I just can't spell it. Anyway, the film was an opera about a prince (though they never say where he is a prince of) who is sent to rescue a fair maid. At first we are told that Pamina, the fair maid, was kidnapped by an evil villain, named Sarastro, and that her mother desperately wanted her back because she missed her. However, we later learn that Sarastro is Pamina's father and that he kidnapped her to save her from her mother's influence.
The movie opens with a ten minute overture, during which the audience is shown. It is basically ten minutes of staring at people's faces. In my opinion this is an utter waste of time and really boring. I do like the fact that the villain is a female, but I don't like the fact that she is a villain BECAUSE she is female. There were some really sexist premises in this film. Apparently it was originally written with even more, but Bergman toned it down a lot. Anyway, did anybody else have anything to say about the film?
