Have any of you heard of it? It comes out January 20th, I think. It was a limited release, and didn't get much advertisement. The story looks really unique, though, and the characters and music is really addicting!

Graverobber is a man, but other then him, it stars Paris Hilton, who does a very nice job, surprisingly, as well as Alexa Vega, who starred in Spy Kids. I hear it also stars quite a bit of other famous musicians.

My personal favorite song is Zydrate Anatomy : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otdH3SLNx-s

Here's the trailer! : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xETgGym8cnE

AGH I love this movie so much! <3 T_T I don't care if it has paris hilton in it. It's so amazing.

Sayda · « **Reply #2 on:** December 25, 2008, 07:48:46 pm »

I know! I didn't mind that Paris Hilton starred in this or not, if her acting was good then I don't mind. I don't have much of a problem with her to begin with.

I've heard of it; I want to see it.

I have never heard of it but it looks interesting. I may have to see this

oh my god, everyone should. its so good. you'll especially love it if your a fan of the rocky horror picture show. or if you just like gore and Goths. XD

Sayda · « **Reply #6 on:** December 25, 2008, 08:20:28 pm »

Nichole we should watch it together when it comes out! That or.. find it on the internet. I tried cheating and looking for it once, though. But I couldn't find it.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #7 on:** December 25, 2008, 08:32:03 pm »

Alright I am up for that ^_^

It's brilliant! I saw it back when Darren and Terrance (Graverobber) came through with it on the Repo! Road Tour, and it is phenomenal! I agree, Paris is in the film and is perfect as Amber Sweet and really brought me to rethink my view of her. After hearing from Darren Lynn Bousman how genuinely nice, professional and easy to work with she was, I really am going to push myself to think past the image of her that the paparazzi and news stories propagate.

Also starring is Anthony Head (known for Buffy fame) as the Repo Man. He does a fantastic job of playing such a tormented figure as that. Also in the film are Ogre of Skinny Puppy and Sarah Brightman (as my favorite character (only tied with Grave Robber) Blind Mag). Her voice is simply angelic. Amazing movie and amazing soundtrack.

You are right, Sayday, it comes out January 20th and (keep fingers crossed) there are approximately 60 songs in total, so let's hope for a full soundtrack to be released as well!

For fans of Rocky Horror, Horror, Goth Subculture, Gore, Dark Comedy or Opera, check out this film! And the soundtrack!

Sayda · « **Reply #10 on:** December 26, 2008, 01:01:22 pm »

My sister got the soundtrack for Christmas yesterday. One of my other favorites that I didn't hear online is Needle in a Bug, sung between Shiloh, and Graverobber. It's short, but for some reason I find it kind of erotic. :0

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #11 on:** December 26, 2008, 01:14:15 pm »

Good news for you, that song is actually in a deleted scene that will be on the DVD release. Yeah, I really dig that song too. Can't wait to see it.

And I think I have to say my favorite songs are "Chromaggia", "21st Century Cure", "Zydrate Anatomy", and "Legal Assassin". The whole soundtrack is just unskippable. It is impossible to skip a track. I can't. Every song is amazing.

Sayda · « **Reply #12 on:** December 27, 2008, 01:33:07 am »

Haah I know. I'm excited to see it. Did you know a few of the songs are nominated for the Academy Awards? :0 And if any of them win, they'll be sung live?!

melchizedek · « **Reply #13 on:** December 27, 2008, 03:07:09 am »

might have to watch this with some friends

Yeah, that would be fantastic.

And I just learned that they are planning to release an extended version of the soundtrack with the dvd next month. So, yeah, sweet, haha.

Sayda · « **Reply #15 on:** December 27, 2008, 11:16:55 am »

I want to buy it. My sister got it for Christmas, but that doesn't mean I can't buy it, too. I'm moving out soon, anyway. And I'll need my own copy!

tofutakeout · « **Reply #16 on:** December 27, 2008, 11:17:58 am »

any thing that comes out for this movie,cd's, dvd's, merch, I'm getting it. it's just so brilliantly cool! <3 maybe I'll ask for it for my birthday.

@sayda
do you mean it will be sung live by the actual actors or maybe by some people that have been practicing for the awards if that happens?

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #17 on:** December 27, 2008, 12:40:33 pm »

No, the actual cast. Darren Lynn Dousman (the director/producer) said in an interview that if any of the songs win the cast themselves will perform them.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #18 on:** December 27, 2008, 10:35:40 pm »

@eve
that'd be so awesome then! I'll definitely have to watch to see what happens.

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #19 on:** December 27, 2008, 11:13:50 pm »

Omg I wanna see this really bad! DX
But the theaters down here said they can only show one movie a month T.T

tofutakeout · « **Reply #20 on:** December 27, 2008, 11:17:32 pm »

well hopefully they'll show it down there for you. :3

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #21 on:** December 27, 2008, 11:20:52 pm »

They probly wouldnt but if it comes out by the time im up in Portland im seriously going to go watch it. Sure Paris Hiltion is in it but..WHO CARES?!? =D Ive been addicted to the songs from youtube. X_X

tofutakeout · « **Reply #22 on:** December 27, 2008, 11:26:25 pm »

you should! I'll go see it with you. I know and personally paris Hilton looks awesome in this.

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #23 on:** December 27, 2008, 11:29:07 pm »

Yey! XD
Yeah I think she looks pretty good. But my mom thought I was weird cuz I liked Pavi! XDDD

tofutakeout · « **Reply #24 on:** December 27, 2008, 11:31:37 pm »

lol that's a silly reason. why would she think that?

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #25 on:** December 27, 2008, 11:37:15 pm »

Probly cuz I told and showed her who Pavi was. He is a little odd but thats fine I think he looks awesome even tho he has a womans face over his X3

Sayda · « **Reply #26 on:** December 28, 2008, 01:01:42 am »

Ah man I'm definitely checking out the Academy Awards this year for a Repo! reason, that's for sure. When are they, again?

uraharafreak · « **Reply #27 on:** December 28, 2008, 07:41:59 am »

So, wait, is it releasing in the theater or dvd in january? I've been dying to see this movie. It looks so awesome.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #28 on:** December 28, 2008, 10:44:31 am »

It comes out on DVD January 20th. It came out in theaters November 7th in a select few cities across the country (and Portland was the first one to show it, yeah!)

I plan to have a Repo! screening at my (or Kahlan's) place when it comes out, so you should definitely come check it out with us, Urahara! And anyone else is welcome too.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #29 on:** December 28, 2008, 11:25:38 am »

yeah I have no idea when the awards are either. do you guys know it'll be sold at best buy? I have a gift card for there so that'll work out just fine.

a viewing of it at someone's house would be cool. :3

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #30 on:** December 28, 2008, 06:23:56 pm »

It's on their website for pre-order, so I'm sure it will be at A Best Buy, not sure which ones though.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #31 on:** December 29, 2008, 04:59:25 pm »

just went to go see the spirit today and I wasn't really paying attention because I was trying to find where my boyfriend was seated but they were playing a preview and I swear it said something about Repo! the genetic opera coming to Portland live. 0_0 I wish I would've just stopped and watched.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #32 on:** December 29, 2008, 05:12:46 pm »

Hmm, it may have been referring to the Repo! Road Tour, which was pretty much advertised the same way. Saying Repo! coming to Portland live and whatnot. If that is what it was mentioning, then that happened back in November, but there is a great chance of it playing again at the Clinton St. Theater. They have been playing it a lot since it opened in November.

Although, if it did mean the stage show is coming through, then that is something else entirely. And much to be drooled over, for sure.

I saw the Spirit too. How did you like it? I thought it was quite funny which I wasn't expecting.

Back on subject I bet Best Buy would have it. They have Resident Even Degeneration

tofutakeout · « **Reply #34 on:** December 29, 2008, 05:21:47 pm »

it seemed lame at first then it picked up pretty nicely. poor poor muffin. T_T

that's a good thing to hear. I plan on buying it considering I got a gift card for there....and their close. :3

nikkiolie · « **Reply #35 on:** December 29, 2008, 05:27:07 pm »

I know. I liked Muffin, it was SOOOO cute. I loved the Octopus though

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #36 on:** December 29, 2008, 10:20:59 pm »

I need to see that, still. I didn't want to like it (for many reasons that I won't list here), but it is starting to look somewhat interesting.

Kahlan4 · « **Reply #37 on:** December 29, 2008, 11:06:29 pm »

super excited for repo to come out on dvd so i can watch it again. it was amazing, even if i kinda fell asleep for a bit of it... stupid having been up early for work *shakes fist* lol

Yeah want to see The Spirit too...I might do that for New Years.

Sayda · « **Reply #39 on:** December 30, 2008, 01:24:51 pm »

My sister's friend's... uncle? I don't know. He pirates DVD's for a living, and he's pirating Repo! for her. I don't have much against pirated DVD's, other then the fact that they don't come with any of the special features. But I'll probably watch it if and when she gets it. :-O

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #40 on:** December 30, 2008, 02:06:38 pm »

I usually only agree with pirating if the person plans to buy the film, cd, whatever at some point. This is just me, but with something like Repo! where the cast and crew had to go to such extreme lengths to get the film out to the public, I in no way could condone pirating it. They put so much effort into the movie, money out of their own pockets to get it made, I just have to buy it and support them.

But that is just my view on the subject.

Sayda · « **Reply #41 on:** December 30, 2008, 02:17:05 pm »

Well it's not my movie. But like I said I'd rather buy it and get all the cool features then just have the film and nothing else. I'm gonna buy it when I have the money, definitely!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #42 on:** December 30, 2008, 02:32:01 pm »

If I do pirate movies I tend to buy them. I usually pirate them because I can't wait to see them again. Take Dark Knight for example. I saw it in theater three or four times. I pirated it again just because I wanted to watch it one more time and I also go it for Christmas.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #43 on:** December 30, 2008, 04:26:09 pm »

Yeah, of course. I didn't mean to come off in a condescending tone or anything. Hopefully I didn't. I did the same thing with Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. That movie's US release was delayed multiple times but that doesn't mean the fansubs weren't up. So I downloaded that and enjoyed it for about four months before it was actually released, at which time I picked it up in no time.

So yeah, there are many exceptions, I just meant in this specific situation, with Repo! I am going to be sure to buy a copy.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #44 on:** December 30, 2008, 04:29:54 pm »

Same. I saw AC way before it came out and I also bought it the day it finally did come out (Which turned out to be Devin's birthday XD)

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #45 on:** January 01, 2009, 03:00:15 pm »

I was going to try to start a Repo! sing along session at MEWcon but I had the straaaaaange feeling that nobody would catch on, lol.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #46 on:** January 01, 2009, 04:33:45 pm »

I don't think many would either....try it at Sakuracon or Kumoricon

Sayda · « **Reply #47 on:** January 01, 2009, 09:03:53 pm »

Ohh that would have been awesome. XD I would have shat myself a little. I wonder if there will ever be Cosplay..

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #48 on:** January 01, 2009, 09:17:43 pm »

There were quite a few cosplayers at the Repo! Road Tour stop. I actually am considering doing a Repo-man cosplay at some point, either him or Rotti Largo, lol. But definitely someone from Repo! I'd want to do Grave-Robber because I like his voice the best (for a male character, tied with Nathan Wallace/Repo-man), but I couldn't pull it off. So, I'll plan for Reeeeeeeeeeeeepoooo-maaaaaaan. ^_^

Sayda · « **Reply #49 on:** January 01, 2009, 09:21:00 pm »

Really? That's awesome. I have yet to see the movie, so I guess until I do I'm going to be undecided as to who I would consider cosplaying.
