this'll be fun.
So it's been about 10 months since I decided to watch Repo! The Genetic Opera. A weird science fiction horror musical with Paris Hilton. Fun fact! The budget for this film was like $8.5 million, and they only made less than $200k of that in the box office. Now that's just sad. Either way the movie isn't good, I don't know why I'm talking about it 10 months after watching it... it just lives rent free in my head lol. Zydrate Anatomy was a really good song. I liked the premise and it looked cool visually, but man it was so corny for lack of a better word im fuckin tired ok but it was corny as shit and kinda hard to watch at times. There's a song called Mark it Up, just listen to the song honestly I think it illustrates everything I dislike about this musical in one song. I love excessively edgy campy bullshit but this is just so corny. Also the guy behind it is allegedly a huge creep, and when you have that information in your brain while watching it makes it feel a lot more uncomfortable than it is without the context. I don't know much about the allegations and I'm not gonna get into that because it's not really what I want to talk about here, I just think it's important to bring up to contextualize my grievances with this mess of a musical. I wanted to like it, I even gaslit myself into liking it back in June. I even wanted to cosplay one of the characters, Blind Mag at one point. I'm not saying liking this movie makes you a horrible person, there were a few things I loved about it and I can definitely understand why someone would be into this and that's good for them but this is just something I haven't been able to get into because there's so much that bothers me about it. There's also honestly some really cool ideas here. This could've been a really interesting and unique commentary on the American healthcare system, I even liked the often criticized comic strip exposition! The bad still outweighs the good with this movie. Don't even get me started on the fucking ending.
Anyways 4/10. I really tried to like it but fuck man. This just sucks.
