rrcanna Posted November 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 How about RHPS and Hedwig and the Angry Inch?RHPS is more about showtunes, but..Ah, well..The film maven has been bested. I am unfamiliar with those films. What does RHPS stand for? What kind of movie is Hedwig and the Angry Inch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator murphzlaw1 Posted November 25, 2005 Administrator Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Oh, I'm sorry...Rocky Horror Picture Show.Hedwig...well...um..They're both comedies, really...but..Couple of links about Hedwig:http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hv&id=1804383749&cf=infohttp://us.imdb.com/title/tt0248845/I've only seen Hedwig once...but it was really a decent movie. I won't say great, but...decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrcanna Posted November 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 (edited) OK, I was dense. I have three copies of Rocky Horror. I will acquire the other film ASAP.BTW, I use imdb.com several times a day, nearly every day. It's THE site for film geeks. For my movie sales on eBay I depend on amazon.com and eBay for prices, and on imdb.com for info.Also, I left another great gay-themed film off my list: Velvet Goldmine with Christian Bale.

rrcanna Posted November 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 There are several features on the board these days that don't work at all for me, and I presume it's because I have a Macintosh running OS 9.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator murphzlaw1 Posted November 25, 2005 Administrator Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 no...it's cuz I haven't made the actual code for changing font size public yet. I had to create a code to get it to work right, because the board is...not as functional in some respects as it used to be.I'm having to find workarounds for features that we used to have but don't, since they've been phased out in place of other features.for the curious...[size%=80]this is how to make fonts smaller[/size%]makes[size%=80]this is how to make fonts smaller[/size%] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
