I realize that not everyone in the world gives a damn about this, but I do — and maybe you do, too — so I’m going to go ahead and circulate an internet petition. Ridiculous? Yes. Pointless? Absolutely. Useless? More than likely.
But as part of MTV’s ongoing quest to meddle itself into absolute irrelevance, there are plans in place to remake The Rocky Horror Picture Show. (Play the YouTube video below to see the original full-length trailer from 1975.)
For God’s sake, leave it alone! It’s a kitsch relic, a moral abomination, and a cheaply preposterous cult piece, and that’s just how I like it.

I just went over and sent in my petition…Can you believe that anyone would try to do a remake? Is Hollywood that dry for ideas?
I’m with you…I like it the way it is…and you can’t replace Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, or Meatloaf!
There is a reason why we all go to see the show every Halloween!
Don’t ruin it!

You only go on Halloween?
I go every week.
And it never gets old.
