OHH NEIN Rocky Horror Picture Show 2003
Updating of the much-loved 1975 Tim Curry flick, to be released early in 2003 to coincide with the original show's thirtieth anniversary of its London debut. Elliot's new millennium Frank'n-Furter no longer inhabits his decrepit Transylvanian mansion but is instead, a high profile plastic surgeon living life to the full in his luxury apartment. Still obssessed with physical perfection however, his aim is to create visually at least, the perfect man. Dialog and music is unchanged in deference to the original production.
Alles was die welt nicht mehr braucht.

TRUTH OR D.A.R.E.
The father whose own son turned him in for growing pot in his garage goes on the record for the first time about his son, his arrest, his drug use, and his treatment at the hands of the media.
When Aaron Palmer was arrested outside his Covington, Washington, home on May 7 for growing pot in his garage, he didn't suspect that his own 17-year-old son, Trever Palmer, was the one who called the police. A single father raising three children--17-year-old Trever, 15-year-old daughter Ashley, and a seven-year-old son--Palmer, a computer programmer, had been smoking pot most of his adult life.
