Hey Red, remember this one:

You turn your back to the girl and then looking back over your right shoulder take your left finger and point to your right shoulder with your right hand still down at your side and say, "Did I ever show you where the horse bit me?"--- as you point to your shoulder. And when she leans in close to look at your shoulder your right hand 'drifts' over to her southern naughty bits area......   and well you know the rest.

Can't do that kind of 'birds and bees' stuff anymore.

 

 

Don't remember that one. As a kid I remember riding the bus home on Market St. in SF and this barber shop had a titty calendar in the window. 😄

Were I lived TSRTS always was a midnight show on a Saturday night. So if people were bored and not doing anything else everyone would just show up to see the movie.

Across town a different kind of crowd would go see 'Rocky Horror Picture Show'. If we were driving past that crowd to see the Zep movie would we throw stuff at the freak sow dressed up in costumes going into see Rocky Horror.

Here in SoCal and for many years, you could usually see TSRTS at two places every weekend  if you wanted.  

The Fairfax Cinema on Beverly Blvd, in the Fairfax district near Hollywood (they advertised: "In Mega Quad Sound)"

Or the United Artist Theater on Colorado Blvd in Pasadena California.

At Scottsdale Fashion Square or the Cini-Capri you could see TSRTS, The Wall, & Rocky Horror at the same theatre but different screens at the midnight movies. It was hilarious as the two different groups (Pink Floyd & Zeppelin vs. The Rocky Horror crowd) would talk shit to each other. Nothing ever got physical back then as everyone was chill and likely high as well. It was just good fun taking the piss and there was never any trouble. I drifted between the two camps as I liked all three movies and got a kick out of TRHPS groups costumes and acting during the movie. I had a crush on a regular who dressed up as Little Nell but I guess I did not look enough like Meat Loaf for her tastes...no luck.

Some of my old theater haunts in SF as a kid. We usually went to the horror movies of the 50's.

Castro Theatre - San Francisco, CA - showing 'King Kong' | King ...

And a lot of theaters on Market St. Orpheum, Paramount, Embassy, United Artists, Warfield, etc.

I wouldn't go near Market Street these days.

I would go to the cinema, but there's always other people in there, goddammit!
 

You got that right. I was brought up with ushers in the theatres and your parents keeping one eye on you and one arm cocked and ready to spring. Going to the movies was an event, people were polite but now, it's the damn Thunderdome.

Yeah, I hate watching a film with an audience. Sod that. I don't even try any more. 

3D Film Audience” – History By Zim

Guess you'll have to buy your own theater, like when Cartman bought the amusement park. Notice one guy on the far right about in the middle that isn't wearing the glasses.

Inglourious Basterds movie review (2009) | Roger Ebert

 Eli Roth the actor on the left who played Sgt. Donny "The Bear Jew" Donowitz is the one who directed  "Nation's Pride (Stolz der Nation)" --- the propaganda film showed at the cinema. Tarrantino was impressed by the footage Roth provided.

The tower walls must have been bullet proof. 😄 If I was the general I would have hit that thing with every available howitzer. To hell with preservation.

Yep, I would have gone Monte Casino on that tower.

Tarantino Cut 'Brilliant' Charles Manson Scene From 'Hollywood' | IndieWire

I'm glad Tarantino only had this one Charlie Manson cameo in the film, and didn't include him with any other parts or dialog. 

Would have been weird and too creepy.  So, unless the script had some plan to off Charile like Quentin did with Hitler in Inglorious Basterds, why glorify that asshole with a part... unless it was of Manson being gang raped by a thousand Viet Cong soldiers with sharpened bamboo sticks?
