God damn it.
Nothing is sacred. MTV (which hasn't been relevant in years and has given us such cultural milestones as The Hill's) has announced it will be remaking The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
This isn't a re-invention for the masses of teens unfamiliar with the original.
Whenever I go to see Rocky in a theater or on stage most of the audience is teens.
So why!?
Money would be the obvious answer.
No surprise there.
MTV has always been about exploiting the youth market and now it's about packaged nostalgia.
A low even VH1 wouldn't have stooped to.
Disgusting.
And worse yet.
They say in this new imagining there will be new songs.
Prepare for the 'Highschool Musical' version of Rocky ... or worse yet, the 'Hairsparay The Musical' version of Rocky.
You know the toothless version of John Waters' most family friendly fare?
They took all the bite out of that one.
And padding out this Rocky, and no doubt updating it with references to Myspace and Youtube and Leave Britney Alone
