repo man c/d

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.

Over-rated. Alex Cox - the indie Micheal Winner (in terms of quality of film only, not table manners etc).

I think I've found the stupidest thing I've ever written on this site. "The indie Michael Winner"??? I don't even. This is an amazing film.

Nine years and fifteen days will change a person.

"Enchante."

This is coincidence on the level of the script mechanics -- this fellow came up in discussion on the DVD commentary for the film, which I relistened to last night, and today his obit runs:

It was either Cox or Nesmith talking about how they ended up having lunch with him at some point well after the film was made, and apparently Cohen's two favorite films were Dr. Strangelove and, indeed, Repo Man.

It happens sometimes. People just explode.

Natural causes.

serious stealth poignancy on:

- There had to be a time when there was no people, right? Well, where did all these people come from? I'll tell you where. The future. And where did all these people disappear to?

- The past?

- That's right! And how did they get there?

- How the fuck do I know?

- Flying saucers! Which are also? Time machines!

Watched this recently for the first time since i was a teenager and was worried it wouldn't hold up but it's still pretty awesome.

does this movie beat Airplane! for quotability density?

oh that's tough. Airplane is like every single line quotable. Repo Man definitely up there but I dunno about beating it.

Thought the revive would be about this:

wait.

WHAT?

best to forget that movie exists

Yeah I just googled and got mega bummed out.

what a terrible tagline.

There is no such film.

orly

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1379734/

Oh, I'm aware that it was filmed and physically exists and all that, but as someone who's seen the original literally dozens of times, burned out at least two copies of the soundtrack on cassette, owns the DVD, etc., etc., THERE IS NO SUCH FILM AS "REPO CHICK."

lol, sorry. Right there with you.

this kind of looks amazing, though

it looks sort of terrifying

I was just singing "Feelin' 7-Up" today and smiling about the movie, and then... this.

Why so tense, guy?

Leila : "What about our RELATIONSHIP?"
Otto : "Fuck that!"
*Otto boards spaceship-car*

I'M GLAD I TORTURED YOU

Hey buddy, how you doing, huh? Hey, don't you remember me? I was in here yesterday. Listen, I think I left a book o' matches over in your office over there. You wanna go check it out for me, huh?

There's a youtube thing on the making of Repo Chick, which was filmed in front of green screens and then most of the scenery was created with miniatures. I forget exactly how Alex Cox comes across in it, but i remember watching and thinking "This seems really haphazardly put together" or something.

i just watched the trailer for this ("this" being REPO CHICK) and man it looks like the cutscenes from a 6-CD computer game from 1995.

what in the motherfuck

im almost positive i spotted my beloved cingular umbrella girl in that 'trailer'

reminds me of art school girls of doom

Cingular umbrella girl (Angela Sarafyan) is, in fact, in Repo Chick according to IMDB.

Has anyone actually seen it?

What does Repo Chick repossess?

Will to live maybe?

Going to see this as a Midnight Movie tonight. I've never seen it projected. So excited!!!!!

the OP's dn is underrated

xp How'd it play to a big audience? I've certainly never seen it in a theater.

I couldn't tell you. There were maybe 12 or so people there besides me. They seemed to like it though. One gag that went over surprisingly well was the Televanglist on the TV in the hospital scenes. ("A very sad unchristian thing just happened..." ).

I concur

To any producers that follow me: films don't have to be just "Thor" style or "Water For Elephants" style. They can also be "Repo Man" style.

Repo Chick shot in Ariane's apartment?

Quietus interview with Mr. Cox

I've just read that, it's a good 'un.

why so tense guy

I saw "Repo Chick". Bleah. It was entertaining but the writing was horrible and the satire was pretty limp, especially compared to the first one. She's nice to look at and that's about it.

Animated gif of Emilio pouring out the beer is so rad.

your goddamned brother

pernicious nonsense
