This just went to the top of my Netflix queue. How can it be I've never seen this movie? And how can the classic Cobra Woman not be available on DVD?

from London to Idaho?

They remade Worst Witch for tv recently, and I just thought, there's no Tim Curry in it, so what is the point?

Your dentist could turn into a queen.
Has anybody seen my tambourine

I can't stop thinking about how this is possibly the best two-line rhyming punch in any song EVER. Also TR is OTM

You're a better person than any of us.

Netflix is breaking my heart! This says available "now" - why don't they send it?! I've gotten 3 movies from underneath it, and still it sits, available "now" at the top of my queue.

Bubba Ho-Tep is so not gonna be an acceptable substitute.

seven months pass...

I was thinking about this the other day and figured it would be available. And I was so right.

Thank you, YouTube.

And now that I'm finally seeing it all for the first time instead of just hearing it, oh my lord.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 25 May 2006 11:12 (eighteen years ago) link

Hahaha! Thanks Ned!

― Jaq (Jaq), Thursday, 25 May 2006 11:43 (eighteen years ago) link

Yer welcome! Now everyday IS Halloween!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 25 May 2006 11:50 (eighteen years ago) link

OMG someone was masturbating all over Video Toaster when this was made.

― Dan (Wow) Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 25 May 2006 13:54 (eighteen years ago) link

amazing

― cutty (mcutt), Thursday, 25 May 2006 14:12 (eighteen years ago) link

That is the best. THE. BEST. You should really see it in the context of the whole film though, because truly that shit just comes outta left field.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Thursday, 25 May 2006 14:13 (eighteen years ago) link

All the little girls and the witchy teachers salivating over the photo of Curry as the Grand Wizard! OMG! What a fucked up movie :)

― Jaq (Jaq), Thursday, 25 May 2006 14:17 (eighteen years ago) link

it's all about the bat tie

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Thursday, 25 May 2006 14:20 (eighteen years ago) link

I really enjoy the idea that girls just go completely Justin Timberlake-style nuts over Tim Curry, if they're witches.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Thursday, 25 May 2006 14:38 (eighteen years ago) link

That fits in with every Rocky Horror performance I've ever attended.

― Dan (Leather: Not For Everyone) Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 25 May 2006 14:40 (eighteen years ago) link

You've actually done that? Multiple times?

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Thursday, 25 May 2006 14:43 (eighteen years ago) link

LOOK I WAS 18 AND AWAY FROM HOME, ALL RIGHT?????

― Dan (Don't You Judge Me) Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 25 May 2006 14:44 (eighteen years ago) link

Well one time I got dragged to something called "Naked Boys Singing," which lived up to its title, if it's any consolation.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Thursday, 25 May 2006 14:45 (eighteen years ago) link

Dan, you poor soul. (I only went to three total and in drag once.)

Ally -- uh. Well, truth in advertising, then.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 25 May 2006 14:45 (eighteen years ago) link

Ned, I sobbed like David Hasslehoff when I realized what we were going to see. Painful. Truly painful.

So speaking of the Hoff, ts Tim Curry versus David's finest hour? I know everyone's seen that but it never stops being funny and it struck me they're very similar, except one is Halloween themed (? I think?) and the other isn't.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Thursday, 25 May 2006 14:54 (eighteen years ago) link

Man, that IS a tough call. What should they duet on?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 25 May 2006 14:56 (eighteen years ago) link

Islands in the Stream

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Thursday, 25 May 2006 14:59 (eighteen years ago) link

Only if bad video effects show them IN A STREAM

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 25 May 2006 15:00 (eighteen years ago) link

With a herd of unicorns.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Thursday, 25 May 2006 15:01 (eighteen years ago) link

You know, the opening lyrics to that song are insane:

Baby when i met you, there was peace on earth
I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb
I was soft inside, there was something going on

A FINE TOOTH COMB?

"You were like the lice in my hair, dearest."

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 25 May 2006 15:03 (eighteen years ago) link

Huh. I never really paid much attention. Also the first line is poorly phrased, it implies the peace on earth existed prior to the hook up.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Thursday, 25 May 2006 15:08 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, I was baffled by that as well. But if they're happy.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 25 May 2006 15:13 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, whatever, good on 'em.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Thursday, 25 May 2006 15:13 (eighteen years ago) link

Anyway, TIM CURRY. That opening little speech he gives, jeezum.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 25 May 2006 15:14 (eighteen years ago) link

David Hasselhoff sobbing on American Idol may be the most awesome thing I've seen on television in quite a while.

― Bluebell Madonna (Ex Leon), Thursday, 25 May 2006 15:19 (eighteen years ago) link

Anything can happen on Halloween
It's better than a video
Gremlins gonna mess up every cassette
From London to Idaho

― tokyo nursery school: afternoon session (rosemary), Thursday, 25 May 2006 15:49 (eighteen years ago) link

Haha... Charlotte Rae's number is up there too.

Oh dear God, how did I miss this?

― ENBB, Wednesday, 31 October 2007 18:01 (sixteen years ago) link

Hahah!

Idolator has this plus another clip up.

HAS ANYBO-DY SEEN MY TAM-BO-REEN?

― El Tomboto, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 21:48 (fifteen years ago) link

OMG I love that the gremlin-threatened mirror-Curry videotape is a betamax.

― Abbott, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 21:59 (fifteen years ago) link

A dentist could turn into a queen.

Tim Curry's finest 3 seconds:

uillderness girls

― Slumpman, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 22:06 (fifteen years ago) link

ugh why did I look up Naked Boys Singing

― HI DERE, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 22:43 (fifteen years ago) link

Wait... none of you have seen this film? I thought it was a staple 80s children's classic and everyone's all WTF about it all... Very strange. My little sister has seen it probably a squillion times. Harry Potter totally ripped off a whole load of this wholesale.

― the next grozart, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 22:47 (fifteen years ago) link

one year passes...

Because Halloween is coming sooner than you think.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 6 August 2009 02:02 (fourteen years ago) link

Before I can even prepare for it, my toad will turn into a bass guitar?
