He ran ads in three area newspapers offering ground to anyone who would build a house, move in with children and stay at least five years. The ads got national attention.

The portentous pauses in Rocky cry out for rude interpolations, so that the screen actors at times seem to be responding to directions from the audience. Before Frank can introduce...

...nerd, a dork, a social outcast. So of course I identified with Brad. Now I'm still a dork, but it's O.K. Rocky Horror says, 'You're weird, but you belong somewhere. Let's all be weird together.'" He excuses himself to go onstage opposite a comely "Janet"; they met at the Eighth Street and are engaged to be married. Cult movies can have happy endings...
