Eli Rabett
Eli Rabett, a not quite failed professorial techno-bunny who finally handed in the keys and retired from his wanna be research university. The students continue to be naive but great people and the administrators continue to vary day-to-day between homicidal and delusional without Eli's help. Eli notices from recent political developments that this behavior is not limited to administrators. His colleagues retain their curious inability to see the holes that they dig for themselves. Prof. Rabett is thankful that they, or at least some of them occasionally heeded his pointing out the implications of the various enthusiasms that rattle around the department and school. Ms. Rabett is thankful that Prof. Rabett occasionally heeds her pointing out that he is nuts.

'Scuze me, gotta go to the Time Warp Party..
I also dig Susan Sarandon, then 28, playing Janet, opposite Barry Bostwick, playing Brad.
Important facts (important to me, anyway).
The original script for the stage version was written by Richard O'Brien, an unemployed actor, in the early 1970's.
The film came after the stage version. The 1975 film's budget for costumes was $1,000
The film used a British country home previously used by Hammer Films for a number of horror movies.
I saw the film in Tucson AZ in the late 1970's, when it had already acquired a cult following. Audience members came in costume and shouted out the lines at the screen.
Some cultural historians have credited the film for pioneering insignia such as fishnet stockings and dyed hair that later were identified with punk culture.
Speaking of horrors, given that Jupiter ejected another massive planet from the immediate vicinity some while ago, what are the odds on the kind of interaction and the amount of energy?
The horror would be if the thing went out on a path that will track as a long, long ellipse rather than a permanent departure.
Imagine if he comes ba-a-a-ack ....
