Well, I have to disagree with the analogy here. When I first saw RHPS it was out in public with all that going on and I thought it suuuucked. Eventually I got curious and rented the thing, and was like, wait a minute, this is actually surprisingly well done. The music, the cinematography, to a certain extent the acting (purposefully bad, which is a trick in and of itself), Curry's outrageous performance - not to mention that when you really look at it, it is not glorifying all the excess and debauchery, but rather pointing out it's not that great after all.
It's precisely because "you must see it in a movie theater etc etc" that for most it remains criminally underrated as an actual movie.
Yeah it's funny I consider myself pretty conservative but RHPS for some reason I like it. Guess that was before the tranny thing took over too much and it was just fun debauchery - and maybe you're right in the end all the hedonists/aliens/genderweird people end up badly and the two virtuous people, the blond dude and susan sarandon, end up running away together (and having an assumed 'happy ever after' )

You took toast into a theater didn’t you?
Heh, well they barely escaped and both have to live with what they did, happily ever after or not....
