Filled with so much classic lines. I watched Repo Man so many times with a friend that we know all the dialogue by heart and still use a lot in conversation. Say somebody drops a beer: "Somebody piss on the floor again."
toking on a joint: "What's in the car? Drugs? Hermanos Rodriguez don't do drugs."
"Get in the car white boy"
"Otto?!? Otto Parts?".
"Eh pappa es un gringo en la calle con su coche!"
and the of course the whole "John Wayne was a fag" thing.

classic. classic. i've even watched the butchered version on regular TV just for the extra scenes they put in AND to hear them say "melonfarmer" over and over.

re: Cousins fellow, what a faux-pas, I really thought he was Scottish. But is it really him? The guy I'm talking about never has his mind blown by a film, he always says "although X isn't a truly great film...". I mean every flippin time! It drives me mad. But they the BBC finally get rid of him or did some rabid film fan kick his teeth in?

There's a lattice of coincidence that lays on toppa' things. Say you're thinkin' bout a plate 'o shrimp, and suddenly somebody says plate, or shrimp, or plate of shrimp outta the blue, no explanation, no point in looking for one either- it's all part of the cosmic unconsciousness.
Give you another example: you know how everybody's into weirdness right now? Supermarkets and books about Bermuda triangles, UFOs, and how the Mayans invented television, that kinda thing? Well, the way I see it, it's exactly the same - there ain't no difference between a flying saucer and a time machine. People get so hung up on specifics that they miss out on seeing the whole thing.

In South America thousands of people go missing every year. Nobody knows where they go. They just like disappear. But if you think about it for a minute, you realize something. There had to be a time when there was no people. Right?
Yeah. I guess.
Well where did all these people come from? hmmm? I'll tell you where. The future. Where did all these people disappear to? hmmm?
The past?
That's right! And how did they get there?
How the fuck do I know?
Flying saucers. Which are really? Yeah you got it. Time machines. I think a lot about this kind of stuff.

Ever been to Utah? Ra-di-a-tion. Yes, indeed. You hear the most outrageous lies about it. Half-baked goggle-box do-gooders telling everybody it's bad for you. Pernicious nonsense. Everybody could stand a hundred chest X-rays a year. They ought to have them, too. When they canceled the project it almost did me in. One day my mind was full to bursting. The next day - nothing. Swept away. But I'll show them. I had a lobotomy in the end.
__________________________
Lobotomy? Isn't that for loonies?
Not at all. Friend of mine had one. Designer of the neutron bomb. You ever hear of the neutron bomb? Destroys people -- leaves buildings standing. Fits in a suitcase. It's so small, no one knows it's there until -- BLAMMO. Eyes melt, skin explodes, everybody dead. So immoral, working on the thing can drive you mad. That's what happened to this friend of mine. So he had a lobotomy. Now he's well again.

The Wired Repo Man: He’s Not ‘As Seen on TV’
Brian Mason, chief executive of Seven Star Recovery Services, which operates primarily in Orange County, Calif., found a wanted car in MVTRAC’s database while driving on Interstate 5. When his computer matched the plate with the list of wanted vehicles, the ka-ching sound of a vintage cash register rang out. Mr. Mason followed the driver home, where he handed over the car.

gave it another go this past week and i really fucking loved it. so many great little jokes and moments. endlessly quotable, awesome soundtrack, beautiful ending. i foresee this becoming a favorite.
