End Of "the Rocky" Era

Squeee · 13-08-2003 12:11pm #1

The rocky has been going on at the Classic cinema since some time in the 80's (so I'm told). Now this friday, the 15th is the last one ever!!!!!! Any rocky fans or people who have wanted to go but never did better get there on friday as its your last chance to do so. EVER....well at least in dublin. It's 6.50 in (but it might be free this time, might be a rumour) There's gonna be a band afterwards so make sure you stay later than usual. ALL MUST GO!!!!! NO MORE ROCKY!!!! It starts at either 11 or half (my memory sucks), I'm pretty sure it's 11 though. And the Classic cinema is in Harold's cross. It's gonna be a really good one as they are trying to get all the really old cast members back. That's all of your time I shall consume.....mmmm...time.

Starts at eleven. There was a similar post on CTYizens, but it seems to be bollocksed. I shall be there, but don't let that put you off. Starts at eleven. 25 years of perversion coming to an end.. *sniff*

Come and be amazed. Waatch me amaze you!

lordsippa · 13-08-2003 12:48pm

21 years.

There shall be many there I SHOULD HOPE! So come. ALL OF YOU! Even the Americans. You've got a few days so hurry and arrange things!

Don't worry bout having never gone. I'm trying to get a lot of virgins to see it just once.

But NOOOOOOOOOO! DAMN YOU ALBERT! DAMN YOOOOUUUUU! <shakes fist>

*scratch that* Ctyizens is working again : http://www.ctyizens.com/board/viewthread.php?tid=181

I shall be there with bells on. if i find somewhere to stay. no promise with the bells

stop pimping your boards on my board bitch

Sven, any chance of a floor space?

and its stopping cus reputedly alberts selling the place.

Squeee · 14-08-2003 8:04pm

Really? I heard that the guy who does the projecter (perhaps he's called Albert..) is getting on in years and does not wish to stay up that late. Also, it's not making any money really. I mean recently it's been worse than ever before. It's just been the cast and a handful for the audience. Anywho, anyone who does come go mad and dress up....c'mon, it's the last one ever here.

theymademedoit · 14-08-2003 8:14pm

its my first (and last, i suppose...) time to go, and im only able to go cos my parents dont have a clue what it actually is, so i cant dress flamboyantly... someone tell me what they do to rocky "virgins"? please?

Squeee · 14-08-2003 8:26pm

well.....some of these are myths. A few myths are that they bugger you with a cucumber or lollipop (NOT REMOTELY TRUE) They will basically just write "Virgin" on your froehead and leave lipstick marks all over your face. However, they might be getting some of the really old cast members back so they might have their own traditions of which I'm ignorant. Don't worry about it, we all were rocky virgins at some stage.

Plasticman · 14-08-2003 9:25pm

Although some of us got away with it more than others

Well there's gonna be free food, 3 kegs (ID required), possible free access, and most likely the largest audience in quite some time. Although I am unable to be a part of it *crys*.

And Hugh, how many times can one board go down? It's done it AGAIN!

shep the malevolent pixie · 14-08-2003 10:40pm

they used to bugger you with cucumbers back in the good old days... ah well, such is life. :rolleyes:

should be a good laugh anyways.

Havelock · 15-08-2003 9:05am

How confirmed are the rumours of this demise, its the 3rd time its apparently going to be the last one. Am going, hope to bring back some of the best old virgin traditions. hehehehehehehehehehehehe

nosmo · 15-08-2003 9:58am

Muhah.. Well, it's tonight. Come, or be a rectangular thing.

Raphael · 15-08-2003 11:18am

DAMN!!!! ONCE AGAIN I AM THWARTED BY MY DISTANCE FROM DUBLIN!!!

On a lighter note, have fun everyone thats going. (lucky b*st*rds)

Barry Aldwell · 15-08-2003 6:39pm

I know how you feel Aonghus.

damn funeral in galway

Raphael · 15-08-2003 6:53pm

Hmmmm. We could just put on our own performance for people who don't live in dublin. Who's with me?

Barry Aldwell · 15-08-2003 7:02pm

How about no.

/me can't get the image of Aonghus in Rocky clothes out of his head

Liquorice · 15-08-2003 7:16pm

I'm not allowed to go. My mum wouldn't have minded, but my dad won't let me "You're only 14" "I know what the Rocky is" "I know what kind of loopers go to the Classic Cinema" "It's on too late" "I'm doing this for your own good" etc. Once a Rocky virgin, forever a Rocky virgin *sobs uncontrollably*. Oh well, you all have fun

Barry Aldwell · 15-08-2003 7:19pm

Say that it's Rocky the boxing movie, and you were misled earlier.

OMFG 500 posts loike!!1!11!one

Raphael · 15-08-2003 7:24pm

Wait a second... I thought it was rocky the boxing movie... What ARE we talking about?

Barry Aldwell · 15-08-2003 7:33pm

Ghey secks. At the ghey bar. What else would we talk about?

Zukustious · 15-08-2003 9:04pm

This is horrible. I'm only hearing this news now. HOW COME NO ONE TOLD ME!!!!! The worst thing about it is that I have two hours before it starts. BUT I'M IN FECKING KERRY!!!

Barry Aldwell · 15-08-2003 10:03pm

I am stuck in Galway. I hate Galway. I hate the crappy PC that I'm on. It doesn't even have MSN Messenger FFS! I'm having to download it. Which is taking ages on my crappy connection. And I have to miss Rocky. (I've only ever seen bits and pieces of it, but I have an idea of what goes on in screenings)

Also, I have an idea. Instead of bitching about how it's not going to be shown anymore, why doesn't someone find a large enough free room, get a projector and DVD of Rocky, and carry on the tradition, even for a limited audience.

Plasticman · 15-08-2003 10:18pm

The worst is when you CAN reach it, ALL your friends are there, including ones unlikely to be seen for a month, and YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED GO!!!

Most of them will be congregating as we (I) speak!

/me cries

Barry Aldwell · 15-08-2003 10:25pm

Even worse is when you CAN'T get to it, you're BORED out of your head, you want to SPAM and ctyizens.com is listed as COMING SOON.

Mystic Fibrosis · 16-08-2003 12:11am

I think the best is when you live 10 minutes away, are at home today and just *could not be ARSED* going. Hell yeah.

mentalimplosion · 16-08-2003 8:48pm

woohoo, hurrah for teenage rebellion. i also wasn't arsed going so i made new clothing out of old clothing instead(see? i'm not a bimbo)

theymademedoit · 16-08-2003 10:21pm

teenage rebellion? oh, thats why you werent at the rocky...
i went and IT KICKED ARSE. brilliant in everyway except that its not coming back.

twirly sponge · 16-08-2003 10:29pm

heheh! teenage rebellion my ass! you weren't allowed go were you Ana? LIAR!
Ooh, I LOVE making new clothing out of old clothing! Go us, we creative customisers with no money for real new clothes.

theymademedoit · 16-08-2003 10:48pm

i do feel bad for ana though,cos it was brilliant.

nosmo · 16-08-2003 11:51pm

It kicked arse most verily. So verily..
I've never seen the Classic so packed.. I've seen few cinemas elsewhere so packed, especially with so many noisy and inebriated people.

"...the wife was good, the kids were better, but the dog was the best..."

Squeee · 17-08-2003 11:17am

Ana, you haven't ever been to the rocky, have you? Mwahaha! This means you are now eternally a rocky virgin!! It was the most packed ever! The whole cinema was full! Some peoples got turned away....poor bastards. Though it was a little difficult to get up and do the dances. The time warp became "It's just a shuffle to the left, then an edge to the right, KEEP YOUR HANDS BY YOUR SIDES, tuck those knees in tight!!!!...and so on"
Oooh, and the rocky isn't quite dead. Me and peoples are gonna have parties where the rocky is shown about once a month. Mostly other peoples though coz my parents suck. Should be fun though.

End Of "the Rocky" Era
