As part of my second annual Gear-Up for Halloween weekend moviefest*, I just watched Repo! The Genetic Opera.
Two very predictable responses, despite my attempts to watch with absolutely no preconceived notions about anything:
1) What in the bloody hell?!
2) Anthony Head is made of utter brilliance.
One very surprising response:
1) Paris Hilton? Not all that bad. (Did the Razzie people actually watch the film? Because, really, I can name two actors _in this movie_ who were less convincing [Bill Moseley and Nivek Ogre])
And that's all you're getting from me for now. But, if you want to see a preview of what I'll have for you later, there's always
Lissa's review from MRFH** (how weird is it that their October banner happens to be _from this movie_?!)
* Which I will,
as I did last year, post at least brief reviews of the collected films at the end of the month.
** Actually, having posted that link, it seems rather redundant to insist on doing my own review later; from the first feminist-card-revoking-concerned sentence of her review, she pretty much said exactly what I thought about it. There is one element that she completely glossed over that _really_ stood out to me, though (perhaps because of
what I spent the previous 12 hours doing), and I'll unpack that later.
