I agree that it was a crappy movie, though it's hard to get tired of Meat singing Hot Patootie (and the fact that they're eating meat loaf, haha). In response to the other person's question, Rocky Horror did precede BOOH in terms of release date (1975 vs 1977), but I believe Jim started writing BOOH in 1975 and rehearsed with Meat in between filming.
Now, regardless of how bad the movie was, it's a cult classic and doesn't need to be remade, especially since Richard O'Brien says he's not involved with it. (And I heard a rumor that Marilyn Manson's gonna play Dr. FNF.)
