Imagine that the executive director of Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network punched a woman in the head while uttering a racial epithet. Imagine further that two years after this hate crime took place, the executive director still had his job, and when Sharpton was asked about this, he speculated about why this story was "even newsworthy," and insisted that "I don't have any day-to-day control over the organization."
Does anyone doubt that if such an incident happened, it would be a major national news story, and Sharpton would be facing a firestorm of criticism?
Yet precisely such an incident did happen–except that the leader of the national movement was former Republican presidential candidate Tom Tancredo, and the perpetrator of the assault was Marcus Epstein, the executive director of Tancredo's anti-immigration PAC, Team America.
So why is it that a Google News search for "Marcus Epstein" turns up only a handful of stories–many of them in progressive online outlets like Talking Points Memo, Washington Independent and Daily Kos? The "liberal media" work in mysterious ways, I guess.

Diane Arbus once said that it is important to make bad photos. I can't agree more: since I remember, I only made bad photos. But I noticed that, slowly, I was artistically moving towards a new challenge: making pictures which are not only bad but also pointless. Some time ago, I asked the English poet Jeffrey Cloves if he can write an introduction to a book that didn't exist. He said no problem. Then I decided to make a book and to use his text which has nothing to do with my bad pointless photos.
If your only reasons to look for help with your book idea are lacking the time or feeling intimidated by the Blurb free software (which is, by the way, not bad), then look elsewhere. I will be glad to help you if you have higher ambitions. But higher ambitions come with a price. However, I think that I can compete with most of my colleagues. I'll put a lot of work into your book in order to make it something really special. I don't use ready made page templates. I use my design inspiration and typography know-how in order to bring out the best from your project. You see, I have high ambitions of my own, because I want every book to represent me as well as to be the best expression of your intentions. There is a rich treasure of stories in each of our lives. They are all worth recording, both for ourselves as well as for future generations. Take a look at the books I made and if you'll think that I'm not just an example of French arrogance, send an email and tell me about your project.

Author Info
|James Salter
|Salter was born James Horowitz and attended New York City's Horace Mann School, where he published poetry in the school magazine. He then went to West Point, his father's alma mater, graduating in 1945. He spent 12 years in the Air Force as a fighter pilot and was based mainly in Europe, but he did serve in Korea, and his war experiences served as material for his first novel. (He has since repudiated his first two books, though one--THE ARM OF FLESH--was completely rewritten and published in 2000 as CASSADA.) Salter's first successful novel, A SPORT AND A PASTIME (1967), an erotic novel about an American man's romance with a Frenchwoman, was written when he lived in France from in the early '60s. In 1975, LIGHT YEARS was published--a novel about divorce, following which his own marriage broke up. Salter has written screenplays (most famously, Robert Redford's DOWNHILL RACER, in 1969) as well as novels, but is not a prolific writer--and he regrets that he didn't begin until he was in his mid-30s. Long considered an underestimated "writer's writer," Salter is revered for the clarity and precision of his language, and his deep insights into the lives of people who are often, in one way or another, peripheral--often artists or expatriates. He has two sons and two daughters. In 1997, he published his autobiography, BURNING THE DAYS.
|"A darkly romantic novel about an American pilot reminiscent of Faulkner's Satoris."
|"James Salter, a West Pointer who went to Korea as a jet fighter pilot, has written a novel of that Far Eastern event that has none of the hokum that (for the sake of specific comparison with recent popular Korean war tales) marks James Michener's output. But if you want to set aside such caricatures of men at modern war, if you wish to know that breed of man our times have developed..., curl up for a flight with 'The Hunters'."
From the Publisher
|James Salter's first novel is about a fighter pilot in the Korean War, of which the author is a veteran. Published in 1956. THE HUNTERS tells the story of Captain Steve Connell, who after an endless number of missions, finds his confidence waning--to the point where he begins to question the meaning of not only what he is doing but his entire existence.
|Editors Note
|Captain Cleve Connell has already made a name for himself among pilots when he arrives in Korea during the war there to fly the newly operational F-86 fighters against the Soviet MIGs. His goal, like that of every fighter pilot, is to chalk up enough kills to become an ace.|But things do not turn out as expected. Mission after mission proves fruitless, and Connell finds his ability and his stomach for combat questioned by his fellow airmen: the brash wing commander, Imil; Captain Robey, an ace whose record is suspect; and finally, Lieutenant Pell, a cocky young pilot with an uncanny amount of skill and luck.|Disappointment and fear gradually erode Connell's faith in himself, and his dream of making ace seems to slip out of reach. Then suddenly, one dramatic mission above the Yalu River reveals the depth of his courage and honor.|Originally published in 1956, The Hunters was James Salter's first novel. Based on his own experiences as a fighter pilot in the Korean War, it is a classic of wartime fiction. Now revised by the author and back in print on the sixty-fifth anniversary of the Air Force, the story of Cleve Connell's war flies straight into the heart of men's rivalries and fears.

Regulation & Policy
In an indication of the range of issues that remain to be resolved in the U.S. before the SOLAS container weight rule takes effect in July, a public meeting of U.S. federal agencies, carriers, terminals and shippers (and media) will meet later this month in Washington under the auspices of the Federal Maritime Commission.
Maritime NZ, New Zealand's maritime authority, is seeking stakeholder comments until March 11 on draft guidelines for compliance with the International Maritime Organization's Safety of Life at Sea verified gross mass amendment.
Maersk Line, Mediterranean Shipping Co. and more than a dozen other carriers will revise their pricing practices to avoid fines and end an EU antitrust suit and investigation.
The White House's $4.1 trillion budget proposal unveiled Tuesday once again falls far short of the targets set by legislation President Obama, himself, signed less than two years ago.
The Agriculture Transportation Coalition said a new international container weight verification rule threatens U.S. exporters with lost business and supply chain "turmoil," and warrants a congressional inquiry.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced Monday it will be taking "a staggered approach" to the rollout of its "single window" initiative, after many said they simply weren't ready for the new system.
Container lines, at least in the U.S., are starting to take forceful action to prepare for the Safety of Life at Sea, or SOLAS, weight verification rule.
Russia's First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov has issued an order to the Russian Federal Customs Service to significantly streamline customs clearance procedures with the aim of speeding cargo handling at Russia's borders and seaports.
The enforcement of the SOLAS container weight mandate for U.S. exports — if there is any — will be done by each port, and the U.S. Coast Guard will only get involved if it boards an incoming vessel and finds it doesn't have verified gross mass for each box.
Japan's government has drawn up the drafts of guidelines and revised ministry ordinances, which contain penalties and variation between the verified gross mass and actual weight of a container, for the smooth implementation of the International Maritime Organization's looming Safety of Life at Sea, or SOLAS, container weight rules.

West Ham to introduce cheapest adult season ticket
West Ham superfan plasters huge tattoo across his back
This West Ham superfan isn't shy about showing support for his club. This giant tattoo is plastered across his back. The image was tweeted by striker Carlton Cole, saying "This is impressive".
Sam Allardyce: No indication that I will be sacked
Sam Allardyce says he has received no indication that he will be sacked as West Ham manager.
Reports on Thursday suggested that the 59-year-old was set to be axed after the final game of the season at Manchester City on Sunday.
Allardyce, who has faced criticism from fans over the club's progress and style of football this season, revealed that he called co-owner David Sullivan to discuss the rumours.
"I rang him up and spoke to him about what's been planted around and under those circumstances we just talked about getting together and having our meeting next week," he said.
"The only thing I can say is I spoke to David Sullivan yesterday about us arranging our usual end-of-the-season meeting to go through pre-season and go through budgets and what will happen next season.
"I had no indication that my position is under threat. That's all I know, he's the boss and that's the bottom line for me."
Allardyce delighted after West Ham's Sunderland win
West Ham manager Sam Allardyce said he was delighted with his side's 2-1 win over Sunderland on Monday night.
Goals in each half from Andy Carroll and Mohamed Diame helped West Ham move 11 points clear of the relegation zone.
The victory all but assured the east London side of Premier League safety with just six games remaining.
"We have sent all the West Ham fans, staff and the players home happy because we're all delighted after getting a well-earned victory at the Stadium of Light," Allardyce told West Ham TV.
"That's 37 points now, which is only one point behind our total from last year when we had 38. This time we've got 37 so it hasn't been quite as bad as it's been made out to be!"
Carlton Cole returns to West Ham
West Ham United has announced the return of Carlton Cole to the Club on a short-term contract until13 January 2014.

Notes from Anchor: Genevieve Genever-Style Gin is an offshoot of our research into the history and evolving production methods that led to modern gin. In the late 19th century, technological advances enabled distillers to produce neutral spirits at very high proofs. When re-distilled with complex blends of juniper berries and other natural botanicals, these neutral spirits were transformed into what we know today as modern "distilled dry gin". The earliest gins, however-which came to be known as "genever" (or "Geneva gin," or "Hollands gin," or "Schiedam-style gin")-were a very different product. To be sure, juniper berries and other botanicals are used in both styles, but 17th-century "genever" gin was distilled in primitive pot stills from a grain mash. Genevieve is our attempt to re-create this ancient and mysterious gin style. We use a grain mash of wheat, barley, and rye malts, which is distilled in a traditional copper pot still with the same botanicals we use in our modern "distilled dry gin,"Junípero Gin. We hope you will enjoy comparing these two unique products, the alpha and omega of the gin story. Many early cocktail recipes that call for "gin" actually mean "genever gin," which has a strong flavor profile because it is pot distilled from a grain mash. Martinis and gin and tonics are not made with genever but, rather, with modern "distilled dry gin" such as our Junípero Gin 94.6 proof

Welcome to our community.
Great post, and we are planning to address the controls in the near future.
for targetting enemies, the enemy battalion flags should have a wider click radius, were talking a bigger circle here
This is our first priority, as it`s easy to add and will make a world of a difference.
If there is a deselect, I suggest moving it to "Hold ctrl and click units to remove them from selection."
There is no deselect command right now, but I agreed we really need to add one. This will also be included in the near future.
In terms of attack/attackmove differentiating, Aside from just having a toggle, there should be a hotkey or direct command for attack move. Or how about a text on each individual units indicating what their current order is. That way we can check to see if our unit is attack moving, moving, attacking, or using a spell.
I agree about a hotkey, however I`m not clear about your idea of indicating this. I don`t recall seeing this in other RTS games, and not sure how or where can we show it on the GUI. Any ideas?
Considering loss of a squad results in a loss of all that gained experience, I think we need a little better indication of our units demise. I think that the simplest solution would be that when a units life reaches red, or close to red, it gets put into it's own little selection along with other units in red health.
We played around with this idea and couldn`t find any good way to implement this. Our plan instead to make these badly injured units try and flee from combat on their own, so they would automatically run to the edge of the map outside of player control - and if they make it, they`ll leave to fight another day. However - this is quite a bit of work on our end, and we don`t think this will be added until late December.
Once again thanks for the valuable feedback!

Angela Nikodinov Returns to Performingby Lois Elfman, Special to U.S. Figure Skating Online
|Angela Nikodinov
Photo by Paul Harvath
(9/20/06) - Although she has been on the ice coaching virtually every day for more than a year, two-time U.S. bronze medalist Angela Nikodinov said she considers the day last month when she "officially put on my stretch pants" as the day she returned to skating. Her first public performance since December 2004 will be Oct. 8 at an exhibition in Grand Rapids, Mich. She will follow that with an appearance in Michael Bolton Tribute on Ice in Bridgeport, Conn., on Nov. 11. Then, this winter, she will be a guest artist with Stars on Ice, performing in approximately 20 shows.
"I've been going to all these competitions," said Nikodinov, 26, who accompanied Bulgarian men's champion Ivan Dinev to the 2006 Olympic Winter Games as his coach. "It made me want to be out there again. For me, right now I feel like my heart is in going out there and performing for an audience. I don't think I have it in me emotionally and mentally to be able to train on the level you need to skate competitively a short program and free skate.
"I want to thank everyone at U.S. Figure Skating for supporting me throughout my entire career," she added. "There have been so many incredible moments. From my first time on the podium in 1997 through 2004 nationals, it was always the most exciting competition of the year."
It has been a time of healing for Nikodinov, whose mother, Dolores, died in a car accident on Jan. 12, 2005, on the eve of the ladies competition at the 2005 State Farm U.S. Championships. The family was en route from the airport in Portland, Ore., to the hotel where they would stay while Nikodinov attempted to reclaim a spot on the World Team.
After a shoulder injury forced her to withdraw from the 2003 U.S. Championships, Nikodinov came back slowly. She was fifth in 2004 and then won Skate America that October. But all that stopped as she and her father, Nick, dealt with their loss. Nikodinov also needed time to recover from third-degree burns on her right hand.
"Throughout the week of nationals in Portland, (U.S. Figure Skating Senior Director of Events) Bob Dunlop and Dr. John LaLonde were so kind and supportive," she said. "There were hundreds of competitors to look after, but they were there for me, and it was so comforting. I first competed at nationals in juniors in '94. Skating becomes part of your family, and my family showed their love when I needed it most."
In the spring of 2005, Nikodinov began coaching Dinev as well as several young skaters, including Tenile Victorsen, at The Skating Edge in Torrance, Calif. It kept her connected to the sport she loves while she decided what she wanted to do with her own skating.
"I feel I'm ready to move on to something new in my skating," Nikodinov said. "I'm really excited with how it is turning out. I'm anxious and nervous – in a good way – to get it started. I know it won't be easy in the beginning, but it's something I want to do.
"I haven't been on the ice in a costume in front of people in over a year and a half," she added. "I'm sure the first time is going to be a little difficult, a little bit foreign to me in a way. But I think it will be a good feeling to get back on the ice."
After skating his final competitive performances in Torino, Dinev is now Nikodinov's coaching partner and he is choreographing her new programs, most notably for the Bolton tribute. She said Bolton was one of her mother's favorite singers, and in fact she will probably spend what would have been her mother's 50th birthday, Oct. 10, making media appearances with Bolton to promote the upcoming show.
With eligible competition now behind her, Nikodinov will get to realize her childhood dream of performing and touring. She will also make her pro competition debut at Ice Wars.
"I can't wait to get back and get into it," Nikodinov said. "I've been at the boards this past year; I want to be on the ice. For myself, I'd rather skate freely from my heart and for the people.
"I know my mother would want me to do the thing I most love to do. Elena (Tcherkasskaia, Nikodinov's beloved coach and choreographer who died of pancreatic cancer in November 2001) and my mom will always be holding my hand when I step on the ice."

''The Rocky Horror Picture Show'' is a 1975 musical film written by Richard O'Brien and directed by Jim Sharman. It's most famous for ''still'' being played in theatres all over the world once a week, and for having a fanbase that dresses up, throws stuff at the screen, re-enacts the scenes and generally indulges in AudienceParticipation. The film is based on TheMusical/Stageshow ''The Rocky Horror Show'', also by Richard O'Brien (who played Riff Raff both in its original staging and this film).
The story: Brad [[note]]ASSHOLE![[/note]] and Janet [[note]]SLUT![[/note]] are two lovely, naive virgins from Denton, [[note]]Denton, the Home of Happiness![[/note]] [[EverytownAmerica U.S.A.]], who get engaged and drive off to tell Dr. Scott [[note]]GREAT SCOTT! WHAT A TWAT![[/note]], their former teacher. However, on the way there, they [[ClosedCircle get a flat tire]] and find themselves outside a spooky castle house ("It's probably a hunting lodge for rich weirdos" [[note]]RICH WEIRDOS AREN'T IN SEASON, ASSHOLE![[/note]])... and that's where things get really, really, ''[[WidgetSeries reeaaaaaaaaalllly]]'' weird.
They meet the servants, Riff Raff and [[note]]WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE COLOR?[[/note]] Magenta, and groupie [[note]]WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR DRUGS?[[/note]] Columbia, who live with Dr. Frank-N-Furter... a [[VillainousCrossdresser "Sweet" Transvestite]] MadScientist, to be specific (from Transsexual, Transylvania). After being stripped down to their underwear, they are invited up to Frank-N-Furter's lab where he unveils his creation -- the BrainlessBeauty Rocky Horror.
They are interrupted by biker/ex-delivery boy [[Music/MeatLoaf Eddie]] [[note]]WHAT KIND OF DELIVERY BOY DELIVERS EXES?![[/note]], Columbia's lover, whom Frank-N-Furter had kept in the deep-freeze. Brad and Janet are then shown to separate rooms, and Frank-N-Furter deceives the two into sleeping with him via both PaperThinDisguise and the fact they're both horny enough. Both victims are horrified afterwards, and Janet wanders the castle till she finds Rocky (cowering from Riff Raff, who's been tormenting him). Realizing she's been cheated on by Brad, she takes an interest in the monster...
At this point, Dr. Scott appears looking for his [[note]]SEX LIFE![[/note]] nephew [[note]]SAME THING![[/note]] Eddie, and Janet and Rocky are found together. Frank-N-Furter invites them all to dinner [[note]]MEAT LOAF, ''[[ImAHumanitarian AGAIN?]] OH, HE'S STILL GOOD!''[[/note]]...
There is a pseudo-sequel, ''Film/ShockTreatment'' (1981), focusing on the bizarre turns Brad and Janet's lives take upon their return to Denton after their adventure in ''Rocky Horror'', but it was not as well-received as its predecessor. Its makers also weren't happy with how it turned out, due to [[TroubledProduction many compromises made during its production]], such as character recastings and a drastically cut budget. It also never really took off as an AudienceParticipation show due to its bigger cast of characters. It was released in 2006 on DVD, but the quality of the transfer isn't much better than the VHS tape or [=LaserDisc=] that proceeded it.
There have been several remake attempts, none of which went anywhere, until it was announced that [[http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/12/entertainment/rocky-horror-picture-show-remake-fox-feat/ Fox were making a two-hour TV special]] set for fall of 2016. The special has some pretty good names attached, including [[http://www.ew.com/article/2015/10/21/laverne-cox-rocky-horror Laverne Cox starring as Dr. Frank-N-Furter.]] as well as Creator/TimCury himself taking up the role of the Criminologist.
!! The original version of ''The Rocky Horror Picture Show'' contains examples of:
* AccidentalPervert: Columbia is supposed to come across this way. Emphasis on supposed - most plays and the movie just turn her into an outright pervert, with the film's actress ''deliberately'' sexing her up and purposefully putting in nipple slips when she could.[[note]][[AudienceParticipation There goes our PG-13 rating!]][[/note]]
* AdaptationDistillation: Some music was cut from the original show, including a whole song for Brad and a verse or two from other songs. Also, the original character of Rocky had some actual dialogue and personality, and was aware that he was created to be a living sex toy... and hates it.
** The narrator being made into a "criminologist" in the film, giving a reason for why he knows about the story's events.
* AnAesop: Deliberately left ambiguous as whether or not their [[spoiler:new-found sluttiness]] left them worse or better off.
* AffectionateParody: Twice over: the film itself spoofs horror/sci-fi, and the audience participation grew from the initial fans being familiar enough with it -- especially all the dramatic pauses -- that they saw opportunities for verbal callbacks to tease the characters.
* AllTakeAndNoGive: Frank's ''very selfish'', as Columbia so blatantly points out. His greatest scientific achievement was simply so he could be lauded as a genius (and for a sex toy he could keep all to himself).
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: ''Damn it, Janet!''
* AntiMatter: A laser! Made of pure antimatter![[note]]Well then it's not really a laser, is it?/OUR PHYSICS SUCK![[/note]]
** Fun fact: the idea of an antimatter laser is completely redundant because photons are their own antiparticles. [[note]]So you mean, it doesn't matter?[[/note]]
%%* AnythingThatMoves: Frank-N-Furter.
* ArtisticLicenseHistory: On this "late November evening", Brad and Janet are found listening to President Nixon's resignation speech... which was delivered in August.
** WordOfGod says that Brad[[note]]ASSHOLE![[/note]] is such a dork that he actually taped the speech and likes to listen to it over and over...
* AsideGlance: Often, and always intentional.
** When Frank says "How nice!" in the lab.
** And during "Sweet Transvestite," Frank raises an eyebrow at the camera as he says "Well you got caught with a flat,[[note]]HOW 'BOUT THIS?![[/note]] well, how 'bout that?"
* AStormIsComing: There's thunder in the background during "Dammit, Janet", and then the Criminologist invokes the trope directly: "It's true, there were dark storm clouds [[note]]DESCRIBE YOUR BALLS![[/note]] - heavy, black, and pendulous - towards which they were driving..."
* AudienceParticipation: The gold standard. The audience at a showing of ''Rocky Horror'' will have some sort of response (mostly yelled comments, sometimes actions to match) to virtually every line or action in the film; at this point the cult phenomenon of ''Rocky Horror'' is far more about the audience participation than the film itself. Most theaters will give you a bag of items to be used during the movie (most getting thrown).
** Inverted audience participation. Where the cast will make callbacks to the audience's callbacks. For example, there's a callback where people poke fun at Dr. Frank-N-Furter standing at attention by depicting him as a DrillSergeantNasty. Rocky will be variously referred to as a Marine through the rest of the film.
** When they tried to stage the musical in the US, of course the audience yelled the callbacks. Apparently, in the first performance, they were studiously ignored until Frank N Furter got to "antici..." "SAY IT!" The actor then snapped back with "''bait'' me, why don't you?", and promptly continued on with the song.
** Furthermore, new callbacks are invented all the time. A Halloween 2010 viewing added [[Literature/HarryPotter "Ten points from Gryffindor!"]] after Frank admonished Rocky that "That's no way to behave after your first day out!"
*** Likewise, after ''Film/FightClub'', a popular call back following the revelation of Eddie's corpse has been, "HIS NAME WAS ROBERT PAULSON! HIS NAME WAS ROBERT PAULSON!"
*** Many older callbacks get updated references but otherwise remain the same. For example, when Riff-Raff shows Brad and Janet the skeleton near the start of the film, it's customary to shout out "SHOW US" and the name of whatever celebrity has most recently died. Bonus points if it's someone people really liked, especially if they had an early or especially tragic death.
*** {{Take That}}s are common, usually involving Magenta's name, or dead things. A few:
-->"DESCRIBE [widely disliked celebrity]!" "A weakling / Weighing 98 pounds..."
-->"DESCRIBE [said celebrity]'S PERIOD!" "Magenta..."
-->"SHOW US [recently dead celebrity]!" [Riff Raff reveals a skeleton.]
-->"WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT [recent film/show/this audience]?" "Could be better."
-->Some get [[SelfDeprecation fired back at the audience]]: "WHAT THE FUCK IS AN 'UNT'?"
--->...And that's more than you'll ever see!"
** For this reason, it's a good idea to watch the movie once by yourself before you go to a midnight screening--because at the midnight screening, you may not be able to hear any of it. The (extremely loud) audience commentary is not funny unless you've had the opportunity to actually hear the dialogue and music at some point, and in Shadowcasts, it's much better to see what the live-action cast is doing when you have everything memorized.
** On the other hand, in a venue where the film has been running for long enough to develop a crowd of regulars as well as a live shadowcast, the discipline of the audience can be astonishing. It truly does seem like an interactive experience.
* BadBoss: Frank is sometimes shown yelling hysterically at his servants when they make mistakes (especially towards Riff Raff - he even whips him when he finds out he let Rocky escape).
* BedTrick: Frank does this to both [[spoiler:Brad and Janet]], which sends them spiraling into being ''sex deviants.''
* BiggerBad: Whomever sent him from [[spoiler: Planet Transsexual of the Transylvania Galaxy]] by default.
** According to the [[Film/RevengeOfTheOldQueen unmade sequel]], it was his mother.
* BigNo: Dr. Frank N. Furter, right before he is killed. Also Columbia, after she leaves the dining room.
* BlackComedyCannibalism: This interchange that leads to Brad, Janet, Columbia, and Dr. Scott refusing to eat anymore.
-->'''Dr. Scott''': We came here to discuss Eddie.
-->'''Columbia''': Eddie?!?
-->'''Frank N. Furter''': (after threatening Columbia with an electric knife) That's a rather tender subject[[note]]That's a rather tasteless joke![[/note]]. Another slice, anyone?
* BlackComedyRape: The seductions of [[spoiler:Brad and Janet]] are all played completely for laughs.
* BlatantLies:
** "You look like you're both.. pretty groovy."
** "I'm here. [[TemptingFate There's nothing to worry about.]]"
* {{Bowdlerise}}: FUSE Network (the so-called [[TotallyRadical "Extreme Network"]]) edits out almost all instances of male-on-male innuendo. The ''Series/{{Glee}}'' version also had some edits (justified InUniverse, because Mr. Schuester had to make it appropriate for a high school play).
* BookEnds: Both the musical and film open with the song "Science Fiction Double Feature" and close with its reprise.
** In the musical, the first act starts with the wedding of Ralph Hapshatt and Betty Monroe, and ends with the "wedding" of Rocky and Frank.
* {{Break the Cutie}}: Janet and Columbia both fit this trope. Brad may as well.
** Columbia especially. She starts out as a perfectly happy, tap-dancing groupie who's in love with Frank. Then her boyfriend Eddie comes back from deep freeze on a motorcycle, and she gets to be happy for all of one song before [[spoiler: Frank attacks and kills Eddie with an ice pick.]] She's then forced to attend a dinner hosted by Frank, during which she both [[spoiler: accidentally cannibalizes Eddie and gets betrayed by her best friend, who helped cook him.]] She gets to deliver a TheReasonYouSuck speech, but is then TakenForGranite. When she realizes that [[spoiler: Riff-Raff is going to kill Frank,]] the reason that she's here in the first place, she screams, getting her killed.
* {{Camp}}: If the film were any campier, midnight screenings would include RV hookups.
* CatchPhrase: In the audience participation, "Thank you!", "SAME THING!", "Fuck (noun)!", "ASSHOLE!", "SLUT!", and "Where's your fucking neck?"
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Only a name drop, when Dr. Frank N. Furter says of his newly-finished creation Rocky that "he carries the Charles Atlas seal of approval". Near the end of the movie, it does take quite a number of shots from Riff Raff's "anti-matter laser" to bring down Rocky. In the original musical, the song "I Can Make You A Man" and its reprise were both originally called "Charles Atlas". However, it bears mentioning that the trope is only dubiously in play, since Rocky did not in fact become strong through exercise.
* [[ClingyJealousGirl Clingy Jealous Boy]]: Frank-N-Furter. Sure, he flirts with nearly everyone. But, if he sees anyone with his beloved Rocky, he unleashes his jealousy-induced rage upon them. [[spoiler:Janet Weiss]] had to find this out the hard way.
* ClosedCircle: Heroes driving, flat tire, flat spare tire, rain coming down, thundering, spooky castle, MadScientist, critical phase of scientific breakthrough, heroes can't get away and then don't want to get away and then can't get away again, and everything goes horribly wrong. Yup, textbook case . . . naturally, since it's a parody of exactly those kind of stories.
%%* {{Cloudcuckooland}}: The castle.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Rocky in the original play - he's eccentric, but it's implied it's stemming from the fact he's a grown adult/sex toy for a crazed megalomaniac, according to his dialogue with Janet.
* ComicBookAdaptation: This movie had a condensed three-part comic book adaptation by KevinVanHook that also included a section of popular (at the time) callbacks used in AudienceParticipation screenings.
** Richard J. Anobile's "Movie Novel" is actually a PhotoComic.
* CommediaDellArte: Not a direct example of this genre, but most of the characters are decent matches to those stock characters:
** Frank-N-Furter has elements of both The Captain (obviously "not from around here," interested in AnythingThatMoves) and Pantalone (abusive of Eddie, his Arlecchino, hints of a relationship with Columbia.)
** The others are a bit of a stretch - presumably Rocky as the Pierrot, Magenta as the Brighella, and Dr. Scott as the Tartaglia.
%%** Brad and Janet are the Lovers.
%%** Eddie makes a passing Arlecchino.
%%** Columbia, fittingly, is a Colombina.
%%** The Criminologist is perfect as the Doctor.
%%** Riff Raff is a dead giveaway as the Pulcinella, hunchback and all.
* ContrivedCoincidence: What are the ''odds'' that Brad and Janet would leave to see their former teacher Dr. Scott, only to get stranded in a castle, where Dr. Scott will eventually turn up, searching for his nephew? Lampshaded though, as Frank quickly suspects that Brad and Janet were sent in by Scott to investigate, although Scott denies that.
%%* CorruptTheCutie: Janet [[note]]Slut![[/note]]
%%* CreepyMonotone: Riff Raff and Magenta.
* CulturalTranslation: The AudienceParticipation naturally varies from country to country, at least in part, featuring local references, e.g.:
-->'''Janet:''' Oh! If only we hadn't made this journey... if only the car hadn't broken down... if only we were amongst friends... Or sane persons!
-->'''Israeli audience:''' [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dayenu Day dayenu, day dayenu...]]
* DanceSensation: "Let's do the Time Warp again!" It's interesting to note that Richard O'Brien has said that he wrote that song as a bit of a parody of a Dance Sensation.
* DarkReprise: Of ''Science Fiction Double Feature'' at the end.
%%* DeadMansChest
* DeadpanSnarker: Riff Raff, as some sort of defense mechanism for having his work stolen by Frank-n-Furter. Also, any audience member familiar enough with the show to use the callbacks will become this during a viewing by default..
* DissonantSerenity: Out of context, Frank's song, "I'm Going Home" is a beautiful and melancholy song. In context? It's ''really fucking eerie''.
* DistractedByTheSexy: Brad, hilariously, early in the film.
-->'''Brad''': This is my fiancee.\\
(''Frank looks at Brad.'')\\
'''Brad''': Janet Veiss.[[note]]Slut![[/note]]\\
'''Janet''': Weiss.\\
'''Brad''': ''(clears throat.)'' Weiss.[[note]]Still a slut![[/note]]
* TheDogBitesBack: Magenta betrays Frank after realizing that he has no plans to go back to Transsexual anytime soon, while Riff Raff betrays him because [[spoiler:he was jealous of Frank for taking all the credit for making Rocky, even though HE did most of the work.]]
* DontExplainTheJoke: A recent Broadway revival had Dick Cavett as the Narrator, and would sometimes interrupt the show to discuss some of the audience riffs, such as the "describe your balls!" directed at ''him''. [[ComicallySerious In this case, Cavett was hilarious.]]
* DownerEnding: [[spoiler:Columbia, Frank, and Rocky are dead, Janet and Brad are shaken at least and traumatized at the worst, and by the way, we're all a bunch of insects adrift in a meaningless void.]]
* DullSurprise: During "Dammit Janet", Riff-Raff, Columbia and Magenta deadpan their chorus deliberately. (eg, "Oh, Brad.")
* DumbBlonde: Rocky, thanks to only having half a brain. He can't even speak properly in the film. In the musical, he's more aware of it, but unfortunately can't do much about his situation.
* EarlyBirdCameo:
** During "Dammit Janet", you can see Richard O'Brien, Patricia Quinn, Tim Curry, and Little Nell in the church. The Criminologist has circled Curry and O'Brien.
** Most of the wedding guests are clearly recognisable as the Transylvanian party guests at the Frankenstein Place. Particularly obvious are Henry Woolf (who plays the official wedding photographer) and Christopher Biggins (clearly seen running at the front of the pack seeing off Ralph and Betty's car). While this was fully intended to be clever, it was also done to reduce costs.
* TheElevenOClockNumber: Frank [[RefugeInAudacity sings about how well-meaning and misunderstood he is]].
* EscapeFromTheCrazyPlace: Good luck with that plan, Brad and Janet.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: This is ostensibly the reason Riff Raff and Magenta turn on Frank -- "Your mission is a failure/Your lifestyle's too extreme..."
%%* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Frank and Rocky.
* EveryoneIsBi: Except for Riff, Dr. Scott, and the Criminologist, ''every'' major character has at least one heterosexual and one homosexual encounter in the film or in the {{Backstory}}, though in some cases this is indicated only briefly.
** Originally, while intoxicated, Richard O'Brien had come up with the idea that while Frank was out chasing down Rocky, Riff would get some action with Brad. Upon coming to his senses after the filming of this scene, Richard O'Brien demanded it to be cut and never mentioned.
** And Riff-Raff becomes [[WomanScorned furious]] when he remarks that Rocky didn't like him, although he seems fairly calm during the rest of the scene. One could reasonably infer that he had feelings for Rocky. Of course, there's that whole BrotherSisterIncest going on with Riff-Raff to begin with...
*** As well as the subtext from the original play (cut for the movie) that the process of creating and animating Rocky was almost entirely Riff Raff's work, and Frank was stealing both the credit for and the fruits of Riff's labor.
* EvilSoundsRaspy: Riff Raff, both his singing and speaking voices.
* FailureHero: Brad and Janet. If the opening credits hadn't told you they were "a hero" and "a heroine," you'd never guess.
* {{Fangirl}}: Columbia, for Frank, then for Eddie then for Frank again...I think.
* {{Fanservice}}: Depends on your sexuality, but Rose Tints My World is almost guaranteed to turn someone on. Whether it's Columbia's cleavage popping out of her corset, Rocky's pelvic thrusts against a feather boa, Brad acting all flustered and stretching his leg, or Janet's moaning, lip-biting, seductive stare right into the camera.
** As mentioned in the BestKnownForTheFanservice entry on the YMMV page, Sweet Transvestite stands out as a [[BuffySpeak sexy, Fanservice-y]] moment.
* FieryRedhead: Magenta some of the time, mostly when she calls Frank out on his Transylvania bullshit.
* FlorenceNightingaleEffect: Janet bandages Rocky's wounds with strips from her own slip. Afterward, they [[spoiler:do more than just kiss]].
* FormalFullArrayOfCutlery: The dinner scene gives everyone between four and seven of each utensil for a meal with only one dish.
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: The main Transylvanians. Frank is Choleric, Riff is Melancholic, Magenta is Phlegmatic, and Columbia is Sanguine.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Take a look at Frank's expression as Janet sings "God bless Lili St. Cyr"
* GainaxEnding: It's an understatement to say the film is weird from the start, but around the Floor Show things go [[UpToEleven straight to Eleven]], as [[spoiler:a completely out-of-nowhere (even for Rocky Horror) burlesque cross-dressing number descends into random swimming, and then it's revealed Frank-n-Furter, Riff-Raff, and Magenta are all aliens from Planet Transsexual in the Galaxy of Transylvania, the latter who kill Frank-n-Furter and leave Brad, Janet, and Dr. Scott in the dust as the mansion takes off into space.]] The Criminologist reaffirms that we're [[NietzscheWannabe just insects]] [[FauxlosophicNarration adrift in a meaningless void of time and space]], and the movie ends.
%%* GeniusCripple: Dr. Scott.
* GenreSavvy: Within ''moments'' of being brought to life, Rocky is already singing about how he suspects his story will end. [[spoiler: He's right.]]
* GiveMyRegardsInTheNextWorld: Riff Raff tells Dr. Frank N. Furter [[spoiler:before he kills him]], "Say goodbye to all of this[[note]]GOODBYE, ALL OF THIS![[/note]]...and hello[[note]]HELLO...[[/note]] to oblivion.[[note]]HI, OBLIVION! HOW'S THE WIFE AND KIDS?[[/note]]"
* GivenNameReveal:
-->'''Frank''': Dr. Scottor should I say, [[HerrDoktor Dr. ''von'' Scott]]!
* GloveSnap: Twice: "I snap my glove and scare myself!" and "I snap my glove and ''don't'' scare myself!"
* GroinAttack: Janet to Frank N. Furter in "Planet Schmanet Janet".
* TheHedonist: Guess who! Brad and Janet, after their [[spoiler:sexcapades]] with Dr. Frank-n-Furter.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Rocky, who is beautiful, strong, and innocent... in a "I was made just five seconds ago" and DumbMuscle sort of way.
* HairTriggerSoundEffect: despite a number of common group shout outs, nothing approaches this trope quite like Brad ('''ASSHOLE!''') and Janet ('''SLUT''').
* HerrDoctor:
** Dr. Scott.
--> "Go on, Dr. Scott. Or, should I say, [[TheVonTropeFamily Dr. Von Scott!"]][[note]]SIEG HEIL![[/note]]
** Interestingly enough, Dr. Frank N. Furter himself originally had a German accent in the early days of the stage show. For reasons unknown, the idea was quickly dropped.
* HiddenDisdainReveal:
-->'''Magenta''': "You killed them! But I thought you liked them. They liked you."\\
'''Riffraff''': "They didn't like me! They NEVER liked me!!
* HighClassGlass: One of the party guests prominently features a monocle.
* HistoricalInJoke: Almost immediately after Goebbels surrendered to the Russian Army, the US and Soviet governments began smuggling Nazi scientists out of the country for their knowledge about rocketry and launched missile weapons. Werner von Braun is one of the most famous examples. The American plan to recruit former Nazi scientists was called [[foldercontrol]]
[[folder: Operation Paperclip ]]
. This is why Frank calls Dr. Scott out on his accent.
* HumanAliens: Frank, Magenta, Riff Raff, and all the other Transylvanians look like human beings.
* IAteWhat: TheReveal [[spoiler: of Eddie's corpse, showing the group had been snacking on him the entire time.]]
* ICanExplain: Frank says this right before singing his final song. Too bad Riff Raff and Magenta aren't convinced of his story. [[spoiler:They shoot him anyway.]]
** And "I'm Going Home" doesn't explain a damn thing.
* IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer: ''FRAAAANK-FURT-EEEEER!''. A rare use of this line by two men who are not in any position to threaten Frank-n-Furter at all.
* TheIgor: Riff Raff.
* IAmSong[=/=]IWantSong: Sweet Transvestite can count for both. Frank's describing himself as a [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin sweet transvestite]], yet he's also asking (or demanding because he never gave them the option) Brad and Janet to "stay for the night."
%%* ImAHumanitarian: [[spoiler:Music/MeatLoaf]] ''again?''
* IncestSubtext: Riff Raff and Magenta give a strong impression of this.[[note]]Elbow sex! Elbow sex![[/note]]
* IncomingHam: "''You're'' lucky, ''he's'' lucky, ''I'm'' lucky, '''WE'RE ALL LUCKY!!!'''"[[note]]THE BANISTER'S LUCKY![[/note]]
* IncrediblyLamePun: The majority of the callbacks.
* {{Intermission}}: Being a musical, most productions of the stage show are two acts with a short intermission. (See BookEnds above.)
* ItsAllAboutMe: It becomes extremely clear Frank is an attention whore who only cares about people if they A) pay attention to him, or B) are of some use to him. And even then... in the musical, when [[spoiler:Columbia takes the first anti-matter shot for Frank]]...
-->'''Frank-n-Furter''': You did that for me...?\\
[Columbia nods yes.]\\
'''Frank-n-Furter''': Stupid bitch. [[note]]Of course, this line can be performed a couple of different ways, either with cruelty ("You always were an idiot.") or pity ("You shouldn't have thrown your life away for me.")[[/note]]
* IWantMyMommy: Brad Majors in "The Floor Show": "It's beyond me/Help me, Mommy!"
%%* LargeHam: Several, with a lot of [[Creator/TimCurry Curry]].
%%** "A laser made of pure antimatter!" [[note]]DOES THAT MEAN IT DOESN'T MATTER?[[/note]]
%%** There's also [[ImAHumanitarian Long Pig]], but that's another story...
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Dr. Scott does this in the dining room scene when he says:
-->I knew he was in with a bad crowd, but it is even worse than I imagined! [[note]]WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING TO? WHO THE FUCK ARE ''WE'' TALKING TO?![[/note]]
* ALightInTheDistance: [[EarWorm "There's a light... over at the Frankenstein place."]]
* LongRunner: It entered the midnight circuit in 1976 and has never been officially withdrawn from theaters, making it the longest theatrical release in film history.
* LoveTriangle: It's implied that one of these may have happened involving Frank, Eddie and Columbia.
* LyricalDissonance: The Sword of Damocles and Eddie's Teddy are pretty upbeat.
** Sing "Hot Patootie" to yourself at a slower tempo. Doesn't the song seem melancholy now?
* LyricSwap: [[ExecutiveMeddling Not present on most prints]], but ''Science Fiction - Double Feature Reprise'' at the end of the film swaps the classic SF movie lyrics from the title sequence tune for lyrics that summarize the movie.
* MadLove: Columbia is hopelessly devoted to Frank despite the fact that he considers her to be nothing more than his "groupie".
** Of course, this is later {{subverted|Trope}} when Columbia ([[spoiler:after witnessing Frank brutally murder Eddie, another man she loved deeply]]) realizes that Frank doesn't love her back at all and berates him for being such a heartless jerk.
** "You're like a sponge! All ya do is take take take!"
** [[AesopAmnesia But she's back supporting him a scene later]].
*** Well, she didn't really have a choice.
* MadScientist Frank, in the style of (duh) Dr Frankenstein. Creating life, big castle, etc etc etc.
* ManipulativeBastard: Frank's ''very'' good at convincing people to sleep with him...
** He is, after all, "a man of little morals[[note]]Yay, little morals![[/note]]... and ''some'' persuasion[[note]]Yay, some persuasion![[/note]]."
%%* TheMaster: Frank.
%%* MindScrew
* MindScrewdriver: The original play, ''The Rocky Horrror Show'', paces out its exposition a little more neatly.
* MockingSingSong: In the AudienceParticipation album for this movie, a member of the audience goes "nya nya nya nya nya" after Frank N. Furter uses the "sonic transducer" to freeze Brad, Janet, and Dr. Scott so that they couldn't move their feet (or wheels)[[note]]My socks! I can't move my socks![[/note]] in the laboratory.
* ModestyBedsheet: [[spoiler:Janet and Rocky]] upon Frank N. Furter's discovering them. {{Justified|Trope}} in that they were surrounded by people at the time.
* TheMusical: One of the more famous ones.
* MysteriousMiddleInitial: The "N" in Frank N Furter. "Frank" is his first name and "Furter" is his last name. "N" is his middle initial and it's never revealed what it stands for, or even if it stands for anything at all.
* NoMrBondIExpectYouToDine: Let's just say who's coming to dinner is more than expected.
* NotIfTheyEnjoyedItRationalization: Frank, sleeping with [[spoiler:Brad and Janet]].
* NotSoAboveItAll: Janet during ''I Can Make You A Man (Reprise)'', after previously proclaiming that she doesn't like men with too many muscles.[[note]]Just one big one[[/note]]
--> '''Janet:''' *''singing''* I'm a muscle fan!
* NotSoDifferent: [[WordOfGod Richard O'Brien]] has stated that Riff Raff and Frank are ''very'' similar to one another. In fact, the only ''real'' differences between the two is that Frank is more outgoing and flamboyant while Riff is more reserved and introverted. That...and Riff is less likely to seduce people. But, both are intelligent, scheming, easily jealous, and willing to kill others in blind rage.
* OffModel: The drawings in the comic book adaption look very poor, and due to this, the characters look off model at some points.
* ThePaidForHarem: The party-goers (or unconventional conventionists) who hang around Frank's parties.
* PietaPlagiarism: Rocky and Frank-N-Furter, before Rocky goes into rage mode.[[note]]You broke my transvestite![[/note]]
* PinballProtagonist: The only thing of note that the protagonists do is get laid and survive the evening.
** The film is very much about how Brad and Janet are either sexually liberated or corrupted.
* PrecisionFStrike: "A mental mindfuck can be nice!"
* ProtectiveCharm: Humorously implied at the very start of the film, when the disembodied lips singing "Science Fiction Double Feature" are seemingly [[HolyBurnsEvil driven away]] by a cross, which [[RevealShot turns out to be]] atop the steeple of the church where the wedding is taking place.
* {{Pun}}: The Sweet Transvestite from the planet Transsexual in the galaxy Transylvania.[[note]]In the state of New Jersey[[/note]]
* PunyEarthlings: Frank views himself as superior to the human protagonists.
* PunnyName:
** Dr. Frank-N-Furter, especially considering the pre-Time Warp appetizers. {{Lampshaded}} with an IncrediblyLamePun when the characters call him a "hot dog" during "Planet Schmanet Janet".
** Janet Weiss's name is a double StealthPun, since it's a German name which is pronounced much like the English "vice" and means "white" no less, a traditional virgin color. She's a virgin, and spends most of the movie wandering around in white underwear.
%%* PygmalionPlot: Frank and Rocky.
* QuirkyTown: Richard O'Brien's experiences as a teenager in 1950s Hamilton and Tauranga in NewZealand were the inspiration for him to write this.
* RaisedLighterTribute: Done during AudienceParticipation in the song "Over At The Frankenstein Place", with the cue being "There's a light..."
* ReallyGetsAround: By the time all is said and done, Frank has slept with over half of the main characters.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Columbia gives one to Frank N. Furter, telling how he's AllTakeAndNoGive, right before she's TakenForGranite.
* RockyRollCall: The [[TropeNamers Trope Namer]]. Janet, Dr. Scott, Brad, Rocky and Frank cross paths through some manner or other, resulting in them just saying eachothers names.
--> "Janet!" "Dr. Scott!" "Janet!" "Brad!" "Rocky!" [[OverlyLongGag Three times.]] Audiences like to scream "BULLWINKLE!" or "AUDIENCE!"[[note]]Hi![[/note]] after. [[note]]All present and accounted for, ''sir''![[/note]]
* SanitySlippage: Dr. Scott feels that's what is happening to him in "Don't Dream It, Be It":
-->Ach![[note]]CHOO![[/note]] We've got to get out of this trap
-->Before this decadence saps our wills.
-->I've got to be strong, and try to hang on
-->Or else my mind may well snap[[note]]CRACKLE POP![[/note]]
-->And my life will be lived[[note]]IN A BOWL OF RICE KRISPIES[[/note]] for the thrills.
* SayMyName:
** The aforementioned RockyRollCall.
** "YOU'D BETTER NOT TRY TO HURT HERRRR, FRANK FURTER!" Continued somewhat by Riff-Raff in the ending, where he dramatically belts out Frank's name as he comes to [[spoiler:kill him.]]
* ScreamingWoman: Columbia [[spoiler: after Frank's death. Riff Raff, either startled or annoyed, immediately kills her too]].
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In the original play (and some subsequent versions), after Riff announces the castle is about to blast off into space, Dr. Scott immediately wheels out, leaving Brad and Janet behind. In the movie though, they all leave together.
* SeeminglyWholesomeFiftiesGirl: Janet, oh, poor Janet. Columbia may have been this before she met Frank and Eddie.
%%* SensibleHeroesSkimpyVillains
* SexIsLiberation: Played with. It is unclear if being freed from their inhibitions has helped or hurt the human characters.
* ShoutOut: To various Hammer Horror films as well as film companies and 1930s-50s sci-fi/horror efforts.
** In fact, the opening song "Science Fiction Double Feature" is built around this. The intro was supposed to contain film snippets of the relevant songs, but it would have cost a fortune in royalties. The shout-outs are, in order:
*** First verse: ''Film/TheDayTheEarthStoodStill1951'', ''Film/FlashGordonSerial'', ''Film/TheInvisibleMan''[[note]]YOU SHOULD'A SEEN HIM![[/note]], ''Film/KingKong1933'', ''Film/ItCameFromOuterSpace''
*** Chorus: ''Film/DrX''[[note]]SEX, SEX, SEX![[/note]], ''Film/ForbiddenPlanet''
*** Second verse: ''Film/{{Tarantula}}'', ''Literature/TheDayOfTheTriffids''[[note]]WHAT THE FUCK IS A TRIFFID?[[/note]], ''Film/NightOfTheDemon''[[note]]Dana Andrews stared in this adaptation of ''Casting the Runes''[[/note]], ''Film/WhenWorldsCollide''.
** To Creator/MaryShelley's ''Literature/{{Frankenstein}}''
** And to the painting ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_gothic American Gothic]]''.
** Magenta sports the infamous ''Film/BrideOfFrankenstein'' beehive hairdo near the end of the film.
** The disembodied lips were inspired by Man Ray's painting ''A l'heure de l'observatoire, les Amoureux'' ("Observatory Time, The Lovers").
** Rocky is called "a triumph of [Frank's] will". ''Film/TriumphOfTheWill'' is a Nazi propaganda film by Creator/LeniRiefenstahl.
** "Wound up like an E (or first string)/When we made it, did you hear a bell ring?" in ''"Planet, Schmanet Janet"'' appears to be a reference to Music/ChuckBerry's song ''"Johnny B. Goode"'' which contains the line "He could play the guitar just like a-ringing a bell."
** The black stockings and garters everyone ends up in by the end of the film may be a reference to ''Film/{{Cabaret}}''.
** Columbia's daybed scenes evoke similar ones from the once-notorious 1956 film ''BabyDoll.''
* SlasherSmile: Again, Frank. Been nice knowing ya, [[spoiler:Eddie]].
* SlouchOfVillainy: Dr. Frank-N-Furter during the 3rd verse of "Sweet Transvestite." It's also found on the 25th-anniversary movie poster.
* SmallUniverseAfterAll: The Transylvanians don't come from the Romanian province, they're from [[spoiler: the galaxy of Transylvania.]]
* SmokingHotSex:
** [[spoiler:Brad]], after getting laid by Frank in the movie. [[note]]Yes, Janet, your Asshole does smoke after sex! But only [[CutSong Once in A While]]![[/note]]
** [[spoiler:Janet]] and Rocky.
** And even Magenta and Columbia, although whether or not they actually had sex is ambiguous. (Although audiences seem to agree that they did. [[note]]Ring around the lesbians![[/note]])
* SoundOnlyDeath: We don't see what happens to [[spoiler:Eddie]]... but we sure do hear his screams and Frank's [[spoiler:pick-axe hacking him to pieces.]]
* StealthPun: What's for dinner? [[spoiler: Meatloaf]], again.[[note]]Oh no, not Meatloaf again![[/note]]
* StockholmSyndrome: Columbia and possibly Rocky, although Rocky especially might instead be TooDumbToLive. Even after Frank discards her for Eddie and then Rocky, kills her boyfriend and [[spoiler:serves him for dinner]], Columbia is still devoted to Frank. The final scenes reveal that Rocky cares deeply for Frank, even though ([[BastardBoyfriend or maybe because]]) he chains him up in their 'bridal suite' and [[spoiler:he has half of Eddy's brain]].
* TableclothYank: Frank N. Furter does this after the song "Eddie's Teddy" to [[spoiler:reveal Eddie's unfortunate fate]].
* TagLine: From the trailer: "Let there be... LIPS."
* TakenForGranite: The "Medusa" switch that's conveniently installed on Rocky's life-bringer machine thing. It also has a reversal switch, so.
* ThoseWackyNazis: Dr. Scott is implied to be one by Frank.
-->'''Frank''': Go on, Dr. Scott. Or should I say... Doctor ''Von'' Scott![[note]]SIEG HEIL![[/note]]\\
'''Brad:''' Just what exactly are you implying?![[note]]THAT HE'S A NAZI, ASSHOLE![[/note]]
** Oddly enough, in the original stage show, Frank himself had a stereotypical German accent (Most likely to go with the classic MadScientist genre). However, this was quickly dropped and Frank ended up with the smooth British accent we all know and love today.
* TooDumbToLive: Brad and Janet make some ''really'' stupid mistakes throughout the film. There's a reason why their call-and-response names are "Asshole" and "Slut"...
* TooFunnyToBeEvil: The source of Frank-N-Furter's MisaimedFandom.
* TwentyFourHourPartyPeople: How do those party guests know Frank, anyway? [[FanConvention They're unconventional conventionists.]][[note]]That's me![[/note]]
** He's a well-known scientist back on Transsexual, Transylvania. Plus, one of the scrapped sequels (''Revenge Of The Old Queen'') revealed that he's [[spoiler:the prince of Transsexual.]]
* UpToEleven: Riff declares Frank's lifestyle "too extreme", suggesting that he's a bit of a weirdo even by Transylvanian standards, where incest and open promiscuity are apparently common.
* VillainousCrossdresser: ''Guess.''[[note]]Riff![[/note]]
* VillainousLament: Frank [[spoiler:right before Riff Raff zaps him]].
* VillainSong: "Sweet Transvestite".
* VillainsWantMercy: Frank-N-Furter tries to desperately to get Riff Raff and Magenta to take pity on him in the ending. [[spoiler:It doesn't work, and Riff Raff kills him.]]
** Riff even asks for it verbatim when Frank is whipping him in the elevator.[[note]]Hit him! Hit him again! Hit him harder! WHERE'S THE MONEY, LEBOWSKI?![[/note]]
* {{Voyeur}}:
** Riff Raff and Magenta watching Frank seduce Janet, then Brad.
** Columbia and Magenta watching Janet seduce Rocky. And enjoying it quite a bit.
* WeHaveBeenResearchingPhlebotinumForYears:
-->'''Dr. Scott:''' This sonic transducer... it is, I suppose, some kind of audio-vibratory-physio-molecular transport device?\\
'''Brad:''' You mean...?![[note]]A vibrator![[/note]]\\
'''Dr. Scott:''' Yes, Brad, it's something we ourselves have been working on for quite some time.[[note]]A ''working'' vibrator?[[/note]] But it seems our friend here has found a means of perfecting it.[[note]]A PERFECT vibrator![[/note]] A device which is capable of breaking down solid matter[[note]]How can it be perfect if it breaks?[[/note]] and projecting it [[note]]Through space?[[/note]] through space... [[note]]And time?[[/note]] and who knows, perhaps even time [[note]]Itself?[[/note]] itself![[note]][[Series/DoctorWho DOCTOR WHO]]'S VIBRATOR?![[/note]]
* WheelChairAntics: Played with, somehow, in the Floor Show part: Dr. Scott is de-Medusa'd to find that he can move his legs, but whilst wearing fishnet stockings. He then joins the ongoing chorus line, but instead of getting out of the wheelchair, he just flails his legs around helplessly.
!!The 2016 TV remake provides examples of:
* AscendedFangirl: ''Creator/LaverneCox'', who plays Frank in the remake, was a big Rocky Horror fan when she was in college, but surprisingly, she has never seen the film in a theater (however, she plans to before production starts). She even cried when Tim Curry joined the cast of the remake!

sunrise at lake mauvaisterre. i know this looks very orange, but that's how it looked through the lens..a very orange sunrise. hdr shot blended from three exposures in photomatix. hope you enjoy and thanks for viewing
Peaceful and beautiful !
perfect, really perfect
I'm curious of how this would look if focused on the "quay" (?) in the fog, with mostly orange water below and not so much of the greenery above visible. I like the light and the structure of fog/water.
Here again your use of color is masterful.
Magnifique !!!!
Beautiful Doug!
I tried to get a few sunrise shots last weekend but I couldnt get the hubby to wake up early enough lol.. so I am hoping to get some this weekend
Beautiful work Doug, that mist over the water was the icing on the cake
Beautiful work Doug, that mist over the water was the icing on the cake
i'll be looking foreward to the new pieces!
..and many thanks for the nice words!..and the !!
have a wonderful weekend..and shoot!
..and many thanks for the nice words!..and the !!
have a wonderful weekend..and shoot!
Love the reflection and little bit of fog that's still lingering.
Magnificent work bro!
I love the shade of the greenery!
thanks!..that's what i like so much about the hdr process is that it brings out things like that shade of green, that would normally just be black
wow, very magical feel to this one!
thank you!..the mist/fog over the lake that morning was soooo awesome!..i was having trouble keeping from staring at it so i could take pics
very nice shot!
Wow, lovely.
I just love those vibrant orange sunrise's like that man!

My baby is almost 8 months. He sleeps about 12 hours at night (7pm-7am). I feed him before bed, around 2am and then sometimes at 5-6am so he'll go back to sleep for another hour. So I guess I'm technically feeding him twice at night although sometimes only once. I don't mind getting up but I'm confused about what is recommended and what is normal/realistic. I realize these may be different things, since Dr.'s recommend but experienced breastfeeding mama's have a better sence of normal/realistic. I've read things that imply I should not be getting up at 2am to nurse, but I'm not quite sure I agree with this. He sleeps really well, but wakes up like clockwork at 2am to eat and goes straight back to sleep, so it seems he is just hungry because he's more than happy to go right back to bed. When does the night nursing usually stop? I'd love opinions and your own stories about when you stopped or how long you continued at night. Thanks ladies! :-)
When "should" night time nursing stop?
I've always nightweaned my toddlers because of pregnancy, so I'm not sure what they would have done naturally. The oldest was a bit over two yrs old, and the others were all about 21 monthes old, except the youngest that is 18 monthes and not night weaned (but probably will be by summer...).
WM-mommy to KL (12yrs), WC (9yrs), CW (7yrs), PC (5yrs), GH (3yrs), and Caroline Mae born 9-2-13
I nightwean at 1. My ODD actually started to nurse more at night around 10m, which my LC was either due to teething or growth spurt/growing pains.
Traci Married to Chris; Mommy to Christian 10/11/06, Angels 6/09, & 12/09, Annaliese 12/31/10, & Scarlett 9/20/12
I'm curious about this as well. It seems like DD will only go back to sleep if she nurses first. My ped said at her age (9 months), she shouldn't be eating in the middle of the night....
Our motn nursing session was the last one DD dropped -at 18mos.
Every baby is differen't, there really isn't a hard and fast rule as to when they stop eating at night. Do what works for your LO/you.
Navy wife since 2001 Sassy DD Feb 2011
MCs Feb & Jun 2014 Rainbow DD May 2015
Stay here! I'm sure to say something stupid soon. --Julie
And I swear to God, if you say "What's CF?" I'm gonna smash my fucking computer. --- Dusty
I agree, there is no hard fast rule. My pedi tried to say 6 months..but DS actively sucked and seemed hungry IMOTN even at 8 months.
I personally weaned from some night nursing at 9 months because he was just wanting to comfort suck and I was exhausted from work.
I wouldn't force wean a baby that is hungry...but I also don't think that mom has to keep it up for comfort if it isn't conducive to your life. Once it does become for comfort (and you will probably know), do what comes naturally and comfortable for you and your baby
She would go to bed at 8 sleep till 4 . I would nurse she would go back to sleep til 6
