Question: How did Rocky Horror know about the Sword of Damocles ten seconds after being born? That's so stupid

[smurfco]

Later he sings "I'm just seven hours old" so I guess that brings another question, how can he even speak English? Let alone sing about apocryphal old myths? I mean this is where the movie falls apart for me.

 

[jelloman]

THAT'S where the movie falls apart for you?

Wait are we talkin about Rocky Horror or meathead raw egg Rocky?

Isn't there just one Rocky in the movie? I'm talking about the man, with blond hair and a tan, who's good for relieving my... tension.

 

[Denverdave]

That movie fell apart in the opening scene.

You may want to seek professional help.

probably too early in the thread to bring up prostitutes.

Never too early...

Someone needs more time in the lab

Right before Halloween I had a Rocky Horror, pizza, and weed date with this stoner chick. To her cats, it probably went like the end of this clip:

 

[Motorik]

Frank used half of Eddie's brain to make Rocky. Presumably dark horse Eddie was familiar with classical allusions?

Well, all he did want after all was rock and roll, porn, und the collected works of Cicero in the original Latin.

Nice use of 'und'.

The Sword of Damocles is such a bullshit story anyway.

"Hey Damocles, wanna know what it's like to be king? Well, just sit here on my throne, and I'll hang this 10 pound, razor-sharp sword over your head with a flimsy thread! See? Really scary, isn't it! That's what I have to live with all the time because I'm so awesomely rich and powerful. A fucking scimitar that'll literally split my skull at any moment. Boom, dead! Just like that. I have tons of gold, a huge palace, a harem overflowing with gorgeous women, legions of highly-trained soldiers at my command, but it could all end suddenly because of this stupid sword hanging up here by a thread thinner than my old Nan's hair! What? Well, no, I don't actually keep this sword over my throne all the time. Okay, okay, it's never up there, but the idea's the same. More of a metaphor kind of thing. Y'know, me not knowing when something bad's gonna happen to me. What do you mean, 'That's true for everybody'? GUARDS, ESCORT THIS PEASANT TO THE DUNGEON!"

Sounds like somebody's at the start of a pretty big downer.

That ain't no crime.
