Repo! The Genetic Opera

Justin Meisse · Oct 2008

so yeah, I'm torn, I love rock operas but am I goth enough for this movie? There's been alot of positive buzz about it, i like this quote the best:
"Imagine if The Big Lebowski-era Coen Brothers had helmed Blade Runner, and you might have some idea of what to expect from deft director Darren Lynn Bousman's latest blood-romp, Repo! The Genetic Opera. "

I'm looking forward to this. The world needs more silly musicals with blood in.

Jeremy Wright · Oct 2008

In all honesty, it looks like a fun watch, but my hopes were dashed because I thought it was a movie based off of a comic miniseries about clones, repomen repoing clones, and other crazy future shit called Repo: http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=9772

Zomg, Ogre from skinny puppy and Sarah Brightman, together at last!

The fact that Marilyn Manson is apparently absent shows this film will have cred. I am so excited to see this film! wowow.

They sure made the trailer look like it was biased off a comic of some sort, I hope its not a Philip k dick or William Gibson novel put to music.

Id rather see Marilyn Manson in it then Paris Hilton.

Microneezia · Oct 2008

YOu dont wanna see Paris hilton default on organ payments and have the repo man come collecting from her?

now thats a viral video id seek out!

rolfness · Oct 2008

Paris Hilton > Marilyn Manson

Michael Knubben · Oct 2008

Wait, Nivek Ogre and Paris Hilton in the same film?
Did I miss something, or can pigs fly?

edit: really looking forward to this, though!

Looks like the Rocky Horror Picture Show 2.0 .

Michael Knubben · Oct 2008

Rebb: you say this as if it's a bad thing.

Necropost!
Anyone else watch this yet? Finally got around to watching it tonight. Not perfect by any means, but pretty awesome overall. Anthony Head ftw.

I'd been waiting for this movie to come out for close to two years before it's limited theater debut. I was supposed to catch it in a theater in Pennsylvania, but I was five minutes late to the place we were all meeting before we left and no one was there, they left without me because they didn't know if everyone could get a ticket.

So I waited it out and just bought it on dvd, it's pretty good, not great, but pretty good. I'd probably like it alot more if it weren't for all the hype though.

Storyline is amazing, my only wish was that the graverobber had a larger part, I like him.

hahah giles is "a father with a secret".
looks silly.

Uly · Jan 2009

fuck, this looks so cool
why is paris hilton in there, fuck

bounchfx · Jan 2009

ok I'm not going to acknowledge any of that as 'rock' (uh, rock opera? didn't see any of that in there), but it certainly looks interesting and I'd give it a watch.

PixelMasher · Jan 2009

watched this the other day, some interesting visuals but overall none of the music was catchy or even really sounded like rock/songs, just people kinda speaking faster and unevenly. It looks like there was promise but Its trying to hard to be edgy and just kinda falls flat. wouldn't recommend this one fellas, When I saw the trailer I too was hopeful but its just blah with a super predictable story and for a musical it sure doesn't have good music.

Codeman · Jan 2009

The visuaks looked interesting but the music was atrocious Not a good thing for an Opera.

Microneezia · Jan 2009

Ya, agreed, Ogre as Pavi? who would of thought they would give Ogre of all people the falsetto role?

Its like if the cool kids put on a play in high school... It looks great, hard to say it sucks completely but they were busy partying instead of nailing down the content, the songs blew.

Slum · Jan 2009

This looks fucking awesome.

Marnik · Jan 2009

Most of the songs were atrocious, but Zydrate Anatomy and the conversation/song deal thingy between whatsherface and Blind Mag grew on me

Inpw · Jan 2009

I saw subj. As for me it was very cool. Paul Sorvino rocks!
