I think the addition of the tv cut alone is worth the repurchase.

For once the US Blu-ray packaging is better the the UK's.

lol @ generic packaging, otm
in the commentary Cox said that the only 2 sponsors for the movie were Ralph's supermarkets for the generic food/bevs, and the airfresheners, which is why they're everywhere in the movie :D

Generic "DVD" packaging on matte stock with that mohawked skull + title + Criterion logo in high-gloss spot varnish would have worked.

or outer paper sleeve with generic DVD packaging / mohawk skull slides out, is actual cover
― 乒乓, Tuesday, 16 April 2013 22:02 (eleven years ago) link
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.

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.

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.

I kinda loved Repo Chick. I mean, it's terrible on many levels, and in no way gets out of the original's shadow, but after you get past what it isn't, the film is an enjoyable romp. I got swept away and also liked the way Cox paid tribute to outmoded special f/x processes like miniatures/models and back-projections by utilizing them via modern yet still lo-fi techniques (digital green screen compositing). The movie is on the better end of the contemporary "midnight movie" school.
It also helps that I got my copy for $1.50. It's worth that much.

Like in '84, it looks great (Robby Muller) and is at its best when Stanton or Tracey Walter is monologuing, but not really much of a movie. Good soundtrack tho.

Know why I love this movie? Because it's so unassailably, unabashedly weird. It's nearly peerless in demeanor, tho Buckaroo Banzai sits at the same lunch table... And if it doesn't get auteured to death, Anderson's Inherent Vice adapt might sidle up shortly some year.
