Face it, the movie kinda sucked. Audience participation is where it's at. About 20 years ago, my gf at the time, we went to Blockbuster (remember those?) and rented a copy. We watched it, i practiced the lines, I learned when to throw what items at the screen, all that good stuff. After a few days of practice we went to the theater. If you didn't know the moves, it was very obvious. People referred to 1st timers as 'losing their virginity.' Being inside the theater and being part of the audience was a silly yet exhilarating experience. I've only done that once. It's nothing I look to do again, it was kinda her thing. But I am glad I did it once.

It definitely has things about it that suck for a lot of audiences. For fans though, those things are just part of the charm.
