I probably just don't like the messy looking characters. Without The Rocky Horror Picture Show's big lip Tim Curry trademark (looking like those wax candy lips you probaly got at Halloween) we wouldn't have Miranda Sings (also without Colleen Ballinger..) I don't have a problem with Sarandon's politics, but I was a bit turned off by her during the years she snubbed RHPS, refusing to discuss it (I'm told, though haven't been able to verify this, that she actually denied being in it at one point) and generally taking a look-down-her nose attitude towards the film. She's since loosened up about it--somewhat--but I could never understand, or much like, her earlier attitude; yes, the film is a mess, but it's a fun mess, and if I'd had it on my resume as an early career effort I don't think I'd be embarrassed to have been associated with something that's brought so many people so much enjoyment over the years, and become a cultural icon to boot. Musicals aren't a favorite film genre for me; I'd have an easier time listing the ones I like than the ones I don't. That said, I perversely tend to somewhat like some of the ones that get a routine lambasting, such as Camelot, Man of La Mancha and Finian's Rainbow. Sympathy for the underdog, I guess.
