[Did I mention I'm freakin' ridiculously and on the border of dangerously attracted to the Repo Man? Hahaha, that can't be healthy. You watch it with me, though, and you'll find out.]
The Genetic Opera. What can be said?
[Well, for one, it came BEFORE the 2010 movie Repo Men, and though I recommend seeing that too, I can't say I'm thrilled with the fact that the basis of the plot was copied from this.]
This movie is a roller coaster ride. But not any stupid action movie/romance roller coaster- you know what I’m talking about, the gaudy shit at water parks that’s not even fun anymore because it’s just so damn predictable. I’m talking one of the goddamn wooden things that barely works anymore. Should’ve been shut down years ago, people complained that it was too unsafe and threw you all over the place- “my little Johnny almost died on the sharp turn toward the front, I’m gonna get your place condemned!”- oh, but people ride it for that very reason. To like this movie, you have to put all the critiquing skills you learned in college aside. [Hell, even if you refuse to, they’ll just fly off on the backspin like those expensive new Aviators. That’s what you get for being stubborn, they say.] Just when you think you’ve figured it out, you’ll completely turn around and take a route you never expected, whether you like it or not. But the designers [producers] are smarter than you; they knew they’d hook you by the end, no matter how much hell it put your mental state through- even though it's a musical. [A fucking ROCK musical, by the way.] So, is Repo! The Genetic Opera worth watching? I’ll reply with a resounding yes as I sit next to you, and the only thing more I can tell you is to just sit back and enjoy the fucking ride.
It’s okay, you’ll be addicted by the end as well.
I want to pick up blogging frequently again, so if you see me on the street, kick me and remind me. I'm serious.
