Haven't heard of Electric Playground. But I can understand why people don't like Repo!.
Unless they were being douche bags about it. That's unprofessional and not cool.


I think they should appreciate it for its uniqueness.

Critiques shouldn't diss a movie just because they don't like it either..

(Bear with me~!)

Example:
An English teacher should not fail a well written short story for its controversial topic.

Its a good movie, with good actors, some of them showing sides we haven't seen before, or haven't seen enough of. Its funny, and serious and sad. It made me think. And the music throughout was amazing.



No, I totally get what you mean and I agree. By "being douche bags about it", I meant "by writing a vehement, one-sided list of all the ways a movie sucked". You were much more eloquent than I was, haha. smile A review should be fair.

Technically, no, Repo! is not the greatest movie ever. Some of it is the fault of low budget, but some of it is the fault of awkward writing. But it has imagination by the pound, and that's what brings in its fans. But the cast was great, that can not be argued. The talent behind the music was solid. Bauhaus ftw.



Douche Bags... X3
I should watch my typing my language is foul.

And I am SO GLAD that we think the same thing about it.
Didn't they spend most of the budget on the gravediggers "Jackpot" ?
That scene full of bodies when they escape the graveyard..

Who or what's Electric Playground?

They rate video games... & stuff.


I see, I see... And I agree with the whole entitled to one's opinion thing. If Repo's not your thing then that's ok, just don't bash it because you don't think it's the best. It does make me a little sad too, but yeah there own opinion, and yada yada. And people surprise you sometimes. My mom has this one friend on facebook, that she knew from a long while back and my mom had told her about my obsession and everything so she watched it and loved it. The best part was that she's a bit of a religious person (not overly but still) and she really liked it and appreciated it. T'was cool.

Repo is a low-budget, R-Rated, rock opera, all singing (they're the same but whatever), allegory, that touches on a lot of points. And it's apocalyptic. Some people don't like this, which is understandable. But others (like me) love it, and obsess over it, and get a lot out of it.


My whole family hated it & we aren't religious X3
I loooove it too! 3nodding

Don't feel bad, I have a foul mouth too.
redface

I don't know if they did or not...wouldn't surprise me, because if they built all that (didn't use computers to create most of it), it probably did take a lot of money. But it was the first big "shock scene" of the movie.
I do remember them talking about how they had to secretly film some scenes, like the beginning scene where Nathan chases down that hooker while Graverobber's singing. xd
