Someone two rows behind warned him once then, as he didn't pay any attention, punched him in the back of the head. The rest of the audience applauded. He didn't say another world. When I saw the remastered/restored Rocky Horror on it's release (many moons ago) it really freaked me out as I was so used to my TV taping that the rather huge change at the end seemed like they'd fundamentally tilted the world on its axis without my permission!

It's not really the same thing with Rocky Horror because the audience are half the reason you go - to see the costumes, to have a laugh and to join in. But yeah, it would probably be quite good without it too. I didn't enjoy seeing the movie when there was an audience sing-a-long though. I couldn't see the point in that.

Strange but true. I suppose it's the same switch in the back of my mind that gets me annoyed when people talk through films! Or maybe I'm just 'ornery! ;-) I would love to see Rocky Horror in the theatre but I’d rather like to see it without the audience participation. Strange but true.

I just thought I was being clever and off the cuff. Thinking back on it has made me remember a similar incident which was even more hysterical for an entirely different set of reasons. A lot of people thought we were lame that night but it was very, very funny. I didn’t know there was a line - nobody ever said it before at any show I went to.
