"Minecraft Film" celebrating his third weekend in cinema, continuing to bring in big dollars (Although this weekend was detroned by Ryan Koggler's "sinners") and has undoubtedly become one of the most memory films of the year. Unfortunately, the destructive and pure shameful practice of Tranning theaters in response to Jackec Black's Steve introducing chicken jockeys Continue. Theaters across the country are now starting to look for parental chaperones to display the film with PG's rating in an attempt to extinguish the legitimate damage to the property that is all in the name of "it's just a joke, brother".

Cinema projections around the world have also begun issuing pre-show warnings to try to extinguish the massacre, with Black even making surprising performances on the projections to tell the audience to counter the popcorn. Posted one cinema worker their schedule on Twitter (or X, if you are a decoction), writing: "I have just been informed that I will be an executive of chicken jockey for today, please pray for me." Several other theater employees in different countries have appeared in the answers to confirm, noting that things have really come out of hand to make checks when the scene is hit.

Over the last few weeks, film publications, cultural commentators and content creators have also discussed the funny behavior since the opening of the weekend, and the joint defense that has been brought from time and time - including for me, personally - is that "Minecraft" is just "The Rocky Horror Picture Show". The comparison of both films is, frankly, one of the most famous things I've heard so far. It is also a fundamental misunderstanding of how the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" works at midnight screenings and what the film has represented for 50 years.

I made short Tikotis To my giving a quick explanation of why "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" at midnight screenings are not comparable to "Minecraft Film" and I immediately met comments from people claiming that the origin of the film's participation was similar to that of "Minecraft", where there were no rules and chaotic demolitions. But that is simply not true. "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" is a film adaptation on the stage of Richard O'Brien "The Rocky Horror Show", which encouraged audiences two years before the film ever hit the theaters. There were tracts and flyers containing instructions on how to make the "weather -distorted" dance, and even during its original running in London, was considered an interactive theater experience. The first Rocky Horror suit competition was held in 1974, a whole year before the film arrived.

The participation of the audience was almost instantaneous. Actually, Tim Curry deserved Angie Bowie (Roxar David's ex -wife) as one of the first to "talk back" to the show. The first documented suit from Movie The audience was Michael Wolfson, who made his initial clothing from Dr. Frank-N-Furter after watching the film in 1975. In a year, he threw the first organized performance group, Rocky Horror Revue. In the years to come, "The Rocky Horror Picture Show has become a major part of the midnight film scene. Yes, It's true That some crowds were significantly nicer than others, and thanks to props such as rice, toast, toilet paper and confetti, theaters after Rocky Horror were (and continue to be) a huge chaos. But as a midnight screening, the RFP exhibitions were the last at night. The ears knew what to expect and do not have to turn the theater quickly to attract the next audience to the door. It cannot happen for a PG movie with a PG rating, without seriously reducing the ability of the theater to make a profit.

More importantly, there are rules for audience audiences on the RHPS projections. Back in the 1980s, there were quite universally accepted guidelines that followed all theaters, with minor changes depending on what a particular location was allowed. Of course, there were external people (like when the Gentili Orleans Theater in Newou Orleans and the Tiffany Theater in West Hollywood were brought to West Hollywood a real engine For "Hoteps' paths"), but these extreme moments are the exceptions that prove the rule.

In addition to being an aviator, acting like "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" is nothing but unorganized chaos of people trying to open each other to reduce social media, this comparison is completely disrespected to the fact that RHP served as a cultural institution that exceeds a kinematic experience. Given the research of sex and sexuality in the essence of the film (and expanded in the suit), midnight "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" quickly became secure shelters for LGBTA+ people - Especially gender that are not in line with people - to express themselves freely without judgment or risk of legal consequences, in the face of deceived, conservative, hateful political administrations. Let's not forget, There is no legal protection of the whole country for LGBTA+ people in over half of the country.

Given the low cost of a movie ticket and a midnight show, this was a gearbox for access to people in the working class, and the rating of R. meant that Peder teenagers could also participate, giving them room for a failure community that was not in a place like a bar or nightclub. And since the shows are simply fun, it was also one of the most prominent places to directly, gypsy people to voluntarily engage with queer communities and culture. I do not deny that "Minecraft" is a hell of a lot of fun for the franchisee and generation that helped make the most profitable video game of all time, but to ignore the history of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" and to behave like Rowdy Teenigers and 20-Somethings Trashing Chinaters, "Jackack Black said it's something they want" is the same thing.

Recently, regal China wisely tried to contain the mutilation by offering special projections for the "Chicken Jockey" 4DX in selected cities on April 20, but they Also There were restrictions on what it was and was not allowed. The participation of the audience is nothing new and continued out of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" through films like Tommy Wiseo's room. The spontaneous dancing of "RRR", And the aforementioned screening of rows held in places such as Alamo Drafthouse. But in all these examples, there are rules, regulations and indicated occasions to keep things fun without treating China (and staff they maintain) as garbage.

I will gladly eat my words if there are still consistent projections of "Minecraft Film" around the world, complete with rules, costumes and designated calls. But all the way to the line like "Everything you can dream of here, you can" keep the same cultural weight as "Don't dream, no matter what," I don't keep your breath.
