Repo! The Genetic Opera

Being based on a musical play is no excuse to suck. Ask Hedwig.

So in the future where corporations are evil, people lease body parts. In spite of the highly public executions of those (everyone) who cannot pay, people keep doing it. This is because the corporation is evil. Because the corporation is evil, drug dealers have rendered from alleys and make drugs out of corpses. They sell the drugs in a system that was lazily sung to me, the lyrics having been written by an individual who has never met a drug dealer before.

Don't tell me how to get that blue shit into my body

Don’t tell me how to get that blue shit into my body


In real life, the corporation would take the person(s) with them, turn them into spice, and profit. The ally dealer would obtain that drug, cut it, and do that. Serious why was there a graveyard if corpses are huffable in this future?

IMDB Score 01/10. Setting out to make a cult play/movie is exactly like running an antique factory.

Units of measure – 1 Hotaru no haka –

The standard unit for sadness is 1 Hotaru no haka.

1 Honoha, as it is now, is how much you cried during this film.

Biutiful and La Grande Illusion are 0.8 honohas for example.
Dancer in the Dark would be 1.5 honohas because God damn.
Robot and Frank would be 1.2 honohas depending on where your allegiance lays.

Shameless, yet curious...

Europa Europa

Agnieszka Holland is a bad motherfucker. I mean this with all endearment of course. I jest because I love. A quick glance tells me she is currently doing various television at present and it is at this time I would like to point in awe and wonder at what is definitely among the 3 greatest war movies ever made.

All you need to know to enjoy this movie:

German, Polish, Russian, French, and English. Subtitles will do.

Not to give it all away but the pace is little German Jewish Solley flees to Poland. Then he flees to Russia where German refugees get a job in a coal mine but Jewish refugees get socialist education. Then the Germans come to repatriate the Aryan children and convert the Jewish children to dust. With 3 cards in his deck, Solek engages in the most human and seemingly unrealistic game of rock paper scissors. The British sing a delightful ditty as a tension breaker.

Gave it 9/10 in IMDB although it deserves 15. Classy movies get 9.

History Factor 8, if you are not all that familiar with the events of WWII you will need this or for you this will just be a Nazi flick which would be sad. See all the dimensions, there are many.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s

Going to keep this short and sweet; Fuck breakfast at Tiffany’s. I’m absolutely confident that the book was better than the movie (although I will not find out), and I am not sure how this advertisement found it’s way into the Library of Congress.

If anyone can tell me with a straight face that they developed a connection with any other character in this film except for the doused kitten Holly was going to release back into the wild then I can show you a liar.

IMDB Rating – 01/10 because not rating it is not the same as giving it 0
