repo man c/d

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.

pernicious nonsense

I blame society!

Fuck that!

Plate of shrimp.

Ok wow - actress Olivia Barash said she just did an interview about Repo Man for @criterion - so we have that look forward to!

criterion is picking this up?? niiiiiiice

:D

ordinary fuckin people

woop!

YAY!

cinefamily did this as a midnight movie last night. i didn't go, only cuz i'm feeling under the weather.

We got details:

New high-definition digital restoration, approved by director Alex Cox, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray edition
Audio commentary featuring Cox, executive producer Michael Nesmith, casting director Victoria Thomas, and actors Sy Richardson, Zander Schloss, and Del Zamora
Interviews with Cox, Richardson, and Zamora; producers Peter McCarthy and Jonathan Wacks; actors Olivia Barash, Dick Rude, Miguel Sandoval, and Harry Dean Stanton; musicians Keith Morris and Iggy Pop; and Sam Cohen, the inventor of the neutron bomb
Deleted scenes
The complete “cleaned-up” television version of the film, prepared by Cox
Trailers
PLUS: A booklet featuring an essay by critic Sam McPheeters; an illustrated production history by Cox, with his original comic and film proposal; and a 1987 interview with real-life repo man Mark Lewis

Commentary sounds like the same one from before, but just about everything else is new. Getting the cleaned-up version will be amazing.

exciting!!!

watched this recently on a pretty poor DVD version, it was notable how much it needed cleaning up. Awesome they've done that!

Yeah, that's something going unremarked -- Robby Müller's cinematography is just stellar, so to see it all cleaned up this way is going to be a beauty. Gets the bright light of the sky around here perfectly.

it was pretty much VHS quality IIRC which did add a certain nostalgic something, but yeah it deserves to be able to shine.

it's kinda killing me that I can't remember what theater I saw it in in '84

The local art theater had this a year or two ago and i had always seen it on VHS at a friend's place etc and it was such a HUGE riot. Yes, the cinematography is beautiful, but the script is brilliant. It's jam-packed with iconic memorable lines. Probably the best cult film of all time imo. Seeing it in the theater was such an incredible experience i don't think i will ever be able to watch another Alex Cox movie cos there is no way they can match up. The stars were aligned with this one.

"Ordinary fucking people."

Walker is pretty wild

Walker is kind of a bore. Highway Patrolman is pretty good.

Straight To Hell is fun when you're drunk

If this is the same as the Masters of Cinema UK Blu-ray release that came out a year ago, check out the Harry Zen Stanton extra feature. It's... something.

"Ordinary fucking people."

This line turned up in Party Down and I was like, yeah, I think I can handle this show.

scored an advance copy of the Criterion relase

omg u guys

it's a little weird at first to see it not looking like a 5-times dubbed vhs copy, which I think I had kind of subconsciously lumped into 'part of its charm'

but all that LA squalor looks so beautiful now lol :) and the final sequence flying over LA was meant for the bluray transfer, it really came up beautifully.
