28 Thoughts I Had While Watching the Rocky Horror Remake
The Linda

The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a cult classic with generations of fans spanning the globe. So, naturally when FOX released that they would be remaking the film, a variety of reactions erupted. Some were excited to see their favorite film recreated...others, skeptical. Here is a thought by thought summary of how the remake went for my suite mates and me:

1. Is that Madonna? No? Ok.

2. Why'd they have to change the quote on the wedding car?

3. Brad totally added a "that" in front of "you beat the other girls to the bride's bouquet," don't think I didn't catch that...

4. I guess we can sprint through "Over At The Frankenstein Place."

5. Ok, Magenta's faux-English accent is rough to listen to.

6. KING CURRY HAS ARRIVED!

7. But why aren't they ACTUALLY doing the Time Warp dance???

8. LET'S GO LAVERNE HERE WE GO!!!

9. Oh no, what's on her head?

10. Well...no one could do it better than Tim Curry now, could they?

11. Does Frank-N-Furter think Brad's name is "Bread?"

12. Why is Rocky in an ice bath?

13. Someone, please fix Rocky's dark brown roots.

14. ADAM LAMBERT YASSS!!! MVP!

15. These accents are truly awful, though.

16. How is FOX going to go about these bed scenes?

17. To be honest, the original silhouette idea seems a little less raunchy.

18. How did Janet and Rocky get from the ice box, to the bed, back to the ice box?

19. They took out that pivotal shot?

20. There is no Rocky grunting in the "Janet! Dr. Scott! Janet! Brad! Rocky!" sequence...

21. Ok, the meatloaf pun was a nice touch.

22. Uh, this "Wise Up, Janet Weiss" scene got quite abusive since the '70's.

23. Aw man, what happened to the red corsets?!

24. Frank-N-Furter just got out of a pool, why does she look like Beyonce?

25. Overall, this felt like it was more about the performance rather than the message and that's quite a shame.

26. One more time for the people in the back, YOU GO KING CURRY!

28. I probably shouldn't have skipped class for this...

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
