They're coming to take your organs! And sing at you! Without stopping!

This is the trailer for the Toronto-filmed Paris Hilton film, Repo!: A Genetic Opera. Please watch it.

Did you notice anything strange? No, not the off-key singing. No, not the low production values. No, not the cheese. No, not Paul Sorvino or Sarah Brightman.

How about ANTHONY STEWART HEAD.

I am SOBBING right now. Oh, Giles!

Wow.

Just..... wow.

Seconded.

I know not everything can be Pirates of Penzance, ASH, but it's okay to aim for Once More With Feeling. It really is.

FACT: ASH was set to perform as "ballad singing ghost" in Tim Burton's hotly anticipated (by me at least) Sweeney Todd movie. But then Johnny Depp's daughter was sick and those singing ghosts were cut for time. So poor Tony is forced to perform in Repo! But at least he's, you know, the repo man. The last time I was in Toronto after the Spoon concert, Jess_D_ripper and I took a cab past a spot where they were filming part of this.

That's even more depressing.

Well, at least that Ripper spin-off is happening. Right? Right??

Oh. ... ... This looks so bad it could actually be fun.

But I wish ASH would get to do something that suits his talent, rather than doing Giles but with a twist over and over. (Heh, "doing Giles", heh heh heh.

Oh, but I'm totally seeing it. I might cringe through the entire thing, but TOTALLY seeing it.

I think I'm going to be ill. Giles! No!!! What have they done to you???

I'm not going to see this. I'm going to watch OMWF instead, even though it breaks my heart when he sings to Buffy and she's too self-obsessed to hear him. HE LOVES YOU, BUFFY, YOU CALIFORNIA STICK-FIGURE BINT!

Okay. Calmer now. But I'm still not going to see that... travesty. *shudder*

I agree with everything you've just said, and I think Gary Oldman's expression perfectly captures my reaction to Repo!.

bride_of_france October 27 2007, 11:55:08 UTC

Seriously! Is he that hard up for cash that he has to sell his body for its singing prowess, thereby turning his former tweedy self into a basement dollar slasher film whore? I'm so sad I'm actually pouting.

But Gary's still hot, so it's not a total loss of a post! ;)
