repo man c/d

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.

Leila: What about our relationship?

Otto: What?

Leila: Our relationship!

Otto: Fuck that!

Leila: You SHITHEAD! I'm glad I tortured you!

the slaps were unplanned - she says in the interview that that's why emilio was laughing, he had no idea she was gonna do it either time <3

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.

I feel like I should buy the Bluray, too, just in case I one day have a player.

gotta use this PS3 I bought for something

Hah United Fruitcake Outlet.

"I blame society"

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

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.

melonfarming seems to be a popular pastime.

& cheetos, doritos and cornfritos are a great balanced diet innit?

you're lookin for a joke with a microscope

drive around with me for a night in L.A., morbs. by dawn you'll "get" this movie. If we're still alive.

I've seen enough of L.A. to "get" it

I just need you to drive my old lady's car out of this bad area

she's a rock.

that line really seems like genius on the 12th viewing huh

if it didn't seem like genius on the first viewing then you don't deserve eyes/ears/brain etc

unassailable classic from the first to the last

Stanton's line readings are great, bad area is a good example

I'm assailing much of it though and I was a punk before you were a punk, punk

hey the security guard's knitting, and John Wayne was a fag

why so tense, guy

this is the greatest movie ever made and anyone who disagrees should have their status as an oscar-voter revoked.

you sir, 'Morbius' are no doctor

i blame society

I was just thinking about a plate of shrimp yesterday; knew this thread was due up.

the lattice of coincidence

I think the ending w that plugz instrumental and the soaring car is p spine tingling for some reason.

God I only just, one minute ago, got the names Bud/Miller/Lite. I feel like an idiot.

o_O now so do i O_o

it's sort of like figuring out Mulholland Drive, aint it

no

this is basically a stoner comedy for punks, so it's surprising i like it as much as i do.

Repo man > The Player > Mulholland Drivd > Grand Canyon > Crash

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.

xp Where does The Human Tornado slot?

yeah Buckaroo Banzai, another fitfully amusing '80s "nice try" at eccentricity.

I would totally eat lunch with Repo Man & Buckaroo Bansai

and Morbs you can eat lunch in the park, you're not invited

make sure you got-a ciabatta for lunch, morbs.

(wendy's new ads are the worst, by the way. well, second-worst, behind kfc's "selfie" ads)

Brewster McCloud can join us, VG

I couldn't enjoy Wendy's any more.

can Tapeheads come to lunch too? I kinda feel like that belongs in the diner somewhere.

it's the island of misfit movies

I couldn't enjoy Wendy's any more.
