I am disappointed... that I'll likely be up 'til 5am as TCM is showing REPO MAN (1984) starting at 3am est July 2.  




REPO MAN is the perfect example of a great movie that is also Bad.  Great soundtrack!  Bad influence!  Twisted bad taste and silly.   :thumbup:

^ Cool.  :thumbup:  


Near the end, when EMILIO (Otto) is about to get in the glowing Malibu, one of the young girls says to him: "Don't leave!  Stay!  We could have a relationship...!" to which Otto replies: "Fudge that!"   :bouncegiggle:  Not exactly...

Not well edited, and a head scratchin' script, really bad taste...and implausibility.   No "masterpiece" but, PERFECT.   :teddyr:

KISS ME DEADLY (1955) also uses the never shown glowing McGuffin, as does PULP FICTION.
