A.A The Apple Anonymous.

Hi my name is Dan and I never liked or understood the appeal of Rocky Horror Picture Show. 

However, I love The Apple, which is Buckaroo Banzai meets Rocky Horror Picture Show in the future of 1994. Is there something wrong with me? Let me make my case and maybe you will understand my point of view and not send Frank-N-furter, Riff-Raff or Eddie to my door (even though I would love to tell Meatloaf that my mom has a Bat Out of Hell poster somewhere in her otherwise completely Martha Stewart domicile, stick to movies Meaty.)

1. The Apple was made in 1980 and set in the future of 1994 (Great).

2. The Apples Transvestites are way more like real Transvestites, sketchy and I can not help being entranced by them, see above.

3. There was never a frat guy who was transformed into a glam rocker overnight by a public viewing of The Apple (this happened with RHPS somewhere in Wisconsin in the 1980's I am sure.)

4. The Apple is way more surreal, not like clocks dripping or anything just a totally low budget, "high" concept amalgam of music, sex, glitter, drugs and a narrative structure losely based on the allegory of Adam and Eve.

5. The Apple is actually satire of the current state of manufactured fame and 

isolation of true artistic visionaries plus it has glitter.

6. The music is not nostalgic for any soccer mom's "wild days" or anyone who is currently alive for that matter. Anyone that liked The Apple in 1980 has now passed on due to a cocaine-L.S.D-Ketamine-Heroin-overdose coupled with an acute case of Hep-E and was found with 6-7 live tarantulas in their upper G.I in a Circus Circus bathroom on the old strip in Las Vegas. (Dad I miss you.)

7. Did I mention, The Apple is set in the future of 1994 (awesome.)

8. All the actors in The Apple went on to become extras on the Golden Girls, hostesses at Denny's and frustrated yet sexually satisfied dance coaches for an all boys dance troop in Thailand.

9. Rocky Horror Picture Show actually develops characters where as The Apple just takes a more radical approach to character development (What's my motivation Mr. Golan (director)? Ahh we need more Meth on the set now!)

10. You will not be able to describe this movie in any detail without coming across like a complete lunatic, case in point...

The Apple is the story of Alphie and Bibi, who are two songwriters from Moosejaw, Canada. Alphie and Bibi come to America to perform in the 1994 Worldvision Song Festival. The song festival collects the heartbeats of the audience to calculate popularity, Aplhie and Bibi are a unexpected success. They are approached by the BIM music corporation to be turned into the next big thing, fashion first, music later. Bibi is sucked into the life of sex, drugs and music montages, Alphie is suspicious and will not take any part. Somehow, the plot becomes a biblical allegory...I swear that is how it goes down. Thank you letting me share. P.S. The Apple is German (strangeness abounds per usual.)
