No Use High



Cast members in Dasepo Naughty Girls (2006).

This number is the opening credits of a South Korean movie about a girl with poverty on her back who is forced into prostitution with a cross-dresser who wants to giggle and talk about the newest idols. She is in love with the son of a rich Swiss family who in turn is in love with the trans gender brother/sister of the sole virgin in the class, the cyclops. Plus a lot more mayhem. Find it if you can! Dasepo Sonyo is the Korean title.

The Time Warp



Richard O'Brien & Cast from the Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975). Almost ruined by the cult movie phenomenon, The Rocky Horror Picture show is a great capsulization of Rock & Roll with a Glam focus disguised as a shlocko horror movie. It's a fantastic piece of work, & it's a shame about its following. Richard O'Brien as the hunchback Riff Raff is also fantastic in the 80s BBC series Robin of Sherwood, which if you haven't seen, you HAVE to.
