I BLAME SOCIETY.

when i think of repo man, i think of this classic line.

― Amon (eman), Thursday, 21 April 2005 00:27 (8 years ago) Permalink

it's an unmistakebly "Los Angeles" film

Yup. What a fine, fine revival. Perhaps I shall rewatch it in a bit.

Hahah.

OK. Some movie I saw years before I saw Repo Man had a part where two characters reinact that whole "Repo man IS intense" bit, and when I finally saw RM it killed me for days trying to think of what it was.

No wait, it's that "Normal people spend their lives staying out of tense situations. Repo man spends his life IN tense situations"

or something like that

was it a Kevin Smith movie or something? an 80s film? i have no idea where i heard this reference...

― Adam Bruneau (oliver8bit), Thursday, 21 April 2005 01:03 (8 years ago) Permalink

Oh fuck no, it's from "Twister"! hahahah

greatest. movie. ever.

I watched it again last night and I pushed it up to the #1 spot in my '80s ballot.

― Gear! (can Jung shill it, Mu?) (Gear!), Thursday, 21 April 2005 01:23 (8 years ago) Permalink

i haven't seen it for years, and i've only seen the flipping melonfarming t.v. version!

― Amon (eman), Thursday, 21 April 2005 01:26 (8 years ago) Permalink

it's #5 on mine, but b/c of this thread it might really by higher.

― Remy (x Jeremy), Thursday, 21 April 2005 01:27 (8 years ago) Permalink

This movie a goddamn classic and will always deserve more praise that it is receiving at any given time.

― Zebra, Alpha Go! (cprek), Thursday, 21 April 2005 02:01 (8 years ago) Permalink

Repo Man's been my favorite film ever since I first saw it as a teenager, and I think it always will be.

― Chris F. (servoret), Thursday, 21 April 2005 02:14 (8 years ago) Permalink

classic by virtue of harry dean stanton alone. and it's so quotable (above-mentioned plate of shrimp, sushi dine-and-dash, john wayne, etc), and there's the great psycho repo man into "diuretics" who has the awesome monologue about how tough he is: "i will kill anyone who crosses me."

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 21 April 2005 10:59 (8 years ago) Permalink

i think i still prefer "fast times" more but god damn "repo man" is so goooooooood. also, lovely soundtrack as well!

― nathalie doing a soft foot shuffle (stevie nixed), Thursday, 21 April 2005 11:04 (8 years ago) Permalink

Fuck it I am watching this again tonight. Nah, maybe I'll just bring it into work!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 21 April 2005 11:38 (8 years ago) Permalink

Haven't seen it in years... Cox did make a fine mature film called "Highway Patrolman" (?).

The only line I ever feel like quoting is "Ordinary fuckin' people -- I hate em."

Oh, shit, I love this film. Sy Richardson. "You like music? You gonna love this. Was into these dudes before anyone. Asked me to be their road manager..."

― edd s hurt (ddduncan), Thursday, 21 April 2005 20:00 (8 years ago) Permalink

I always loved and feared how the other repo men were so unpredictable. In any other movie they would have instantly become either the main character's buddies or enemies, and every action they'd take would be either helpful or antagonistic. But in RM people behave just like people (insane people, but still) do in real life; they're on their own side.

Napoleon: Hey buddy! How you doing? Huh? Hey don't you remember me? I was here yesterday. Heh. Listen I think I left a book of matches over in your office over there. You want to go and check for me huh?

Kevin: Sure thing.

Napoleon: Hey thanks a lot buddy.

Kevin: Any thing for you babes.

Napoleon: All right, you're beautiful. I love you.

Wow, this must have been one of my first threads. God, I need to see this movie for the 6567897th time.

I have no idea when Repo Man came out. I can barely recall anything about it apart from Nicholas Cage robbing a convenience store of a package of Pampers (and even that may be a misremembering).

I only came to this thread to state that I must have at one time expressed something resembling enthusiasm for it because my wife has for decades accused it of being my favorite movie, or somehow standing for the essence of all I hold dear about the cinema. She has repeated this nostrum so many times that I now have an unmerited aversion for the thing. I doubt I shall ever hold a copy of it in my hand again, for fear my wife will see it and pounce on this fact as the vindication of her oft-stated opinion about my tastes.

So, despite my having no clear memory of it, this film and I share a deep intimate bond. Life is strange, but no stranger than my wife.

A Raising Arizona/Repo Man double feature woulda been my favoritest thing ever when I was 11

(Actually it is still my favoritest thing ever)

― disco violence (disco violence), Friday, 6 January 2006 21:21 (7 years ago) Permalink

Speaking of disco violence, the good man pointed this out to me. Looks like the commentary tracks are the same as with the last edition, though there's some new extras?

I have the one in a metal box (with the CD). :-))))

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 6 January 2006 21:31 (7 years ago) Permalink

Sy Richardson is a goddamn treasure. And his performance in the rather notorious skin version of Cinderella is a clear case of someone transcending the material.

looks great. want. generic packaging would have been fun, but a little too dull for such an antic film. agree with random commenter that generic "disc" is a nice compromise.

Watching it now. The print is fucking pristine. Totally worth it.

― 誤訳侮辱, Thursday, 18 April 2013 03:14 (1 month ago) Permalink

Haven't watched the main feature yet, but have been through most of the extras. One thing I've taken away (and I don't know how I slept on this the first 20-30 times I've seen the movie) is that Olivia Barash (Leila from The United Fruitcake Outlet)was quite the little fox back then.

Leila: What about our relationship?
Otto: What?
Leila: Our relationship!
Otto: Fuck that!
Leila: You SHITHEAD! I'm glad I tortured you!

blu-ray is in my hot little hands as well; waiting to watch it though till I have a suitably sizable group to watch it with. First ever blu ray purchase too.

bought a copy of this today on a whim, and because it was on sale for cheap. a cheap whim. it's beautiful. incredibly well designed on every level. such a great idea to style it in the manner of punk show flyers, photocopied fanzines and underground comics. makes it feel like a tribute to a cultural moment as much as, you know, dvd packaging.

was so happy when this slotted alphabetically right next to the the rules of the game criterion
