repo man c/d

You like music, listen to this. I was into these dudes before anyone. Wanted me to be their manager. I called bullshit on that. Managing a pop group is no job for a man.

I don't want no commies in my car. No Christians either.

i was just coming here to quote the 2nd but the first is ridiculously classic & im sad i have no memory of it; must be a HDS one though

the Harry Dean Stanton interview on the DVD is a masterpiece of nihilism.

It was Lite who called bullshit on managing a band, nutz.

finally saw it. awesome stuff.

2 points worth mention,beside the ones on this thread:

1. Tarantino probably watched it at least 10 times.
2. the photography is excellent (Robby Müller, who also worked with wim weners and jim jarmusch)

Agreed on both.

dude, you only saw it NOW? how old are you? i do hope you're about 13 or from another planet. ;-)

from another planet. or at least another country

who knew this had started?

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.

C'mon let's go commit some crimes!

REPO MANG

but YOU? !!

(everybody..)

"YOU'RE ALL RIGHT!!!"

Look at 'em, ordinary fucking people, I hate 'em.

just watched coz am so sodding bored. great film

watching for the first time

rules!

i think about it whenever i eat sushi tbh

let's do a crime

lets get sushi . . . and not pay

No communists in my car...no christians either!

suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

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.

omg how did i make it this far in life w/o this movie

My wife just said the movie is boring. Boring! omg.

Put it on a plate, son. You'll enjoy it more.

Couldn't enjoy it any more, Mom. Mm, mm, mmm.

omg did not realize the everyone-named-after-beer thing

gypsy dildo punks

ordinary fucking people... I hate them!

Managing a pop group is no job for a man.

wauw:

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.

man, this movie is a lot more down on punk than I remembered.

Part of the reason it's so good still! It's like John Waters trashing hippies in the early seventies even though that was his audience.

do you think they give a damn about their bills in russia?

no. everything's free there.

i totally saw this for the first time like a year or so ago with a few friends, it went about like gbx's reaction above. since then we've made a few other ppl watch it with us and they've all been like 'idk it's pretty alright' so i'm glad there are so many others to validate my stance!

i can't imagine anyone feeling ambivalent toward repo man. seems like a love-it-or-hate-it film.

i dunno i think if you don't really latch on to the dialogue i could see ppl thinking the movie was just a bunch of meh/kinda weird things that happened.

eatin sushi right now tbh

maybe I won't pay

Punkrock Emilio = the coolest Emilio imo.

Miller: John Wayne was a fag.
All: The hell he was.
Miller: He was, too, you boys. I installed two-way mirrors in his pad in Brentwood, and he come to the door in a dress.

i saw this a few years ago and thought it was OK. i was watching it with friends and there was a lot of talking and drinking, so i really didn't give it the attention it deserved.

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.

"ah, excuse me while i fold my pants."

such a great sense of place too. i don't personally know what 1980's LA was like, but this really feels right.
