WE STARTED THIS OPERA SHIT
16 years ago
General
Believe me when I say we have a difficult time ahead of us. But if we are to be prepared for it, we must first shed our fear of it. I stand here, before you now, truthfully unafraid. Why? Because I believe something you do not? No, I stand here without fear because I remember. I remember that I am here not because of the path that lies before me but because of the path that lies behind me. I remember that for 100 years we have fought these machines. I remember that for 100 years they have sent their armies to destroy us, and after a century of war I remember that which matters most... We are still here! Today, let us send a message to that army. TOnight, let us shake this cave. Tonight, let us tremble these halls of earth, steel, and stone, let us be heard from red core to black sky. Tonight, let us make them remember, THIS IS ZION AND WE ARE NOT AFRAID!
So... dunno if some people even know what Repo is, but Repo the Genetic Opera is made of win, directed by the awesome director Darren Lynn Bousman.
Now, this is Universals new Repo Men trailer. THERE ARE TOO MANY SIMILARITIES.
But, I will not bash it. Which is a first. Yes I hate it, yes I am upset, but Bousman has a good point:
<b> There... did you watch it? Okay... Good... Now - ready for this - go tell your friends. Show them. Tweet it, post it, talk about. But do not. I repeat - do NOT bad mouth - trash - diss - or SPAM their boards.
Wait - what did I just say?
That's right. I said talk about it?
Okay, lets get this out - I AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT REPO MEN! In fact, I am really let down. All it takes is one viewing of the trailer to see how similar our movies are. Come on, Organ Repossession? Cheesy commercials selling organs? An EVIL corporation? A bar code logo which is scanned by REPO MEN? A street drug - the corporation turning on their main REPO MAN - The mere name - REPO MEN?!? Yeah - all too familiar.
But that is the exact reason I want you to not bash this movie. Think about what that says for our little opera? We have a bunch of angry bitter fans, ready to spam message board, and preach hate... THAT is not what our REPO is about.
What I do want you to do is talk about REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA! Talk about what you love about it, talk about how it affected you. Talk about the friends you have made from it. Talk about experiences you have taken from being apart of the community!
I have not seen REPO MEN! But I can almost promise you - it will not STILL be in theaters ONE YEAR after it's release. I can almost PROMISE you people will not make road trips thousands of miles away to catch a screening of the movie. I can almost PROMISE you fans won't form bonds, have parties, and even have 'themed REPO MEN weddings. I can almost guarantee you people will not dress up as characters from REPO MEN for Halloween. All things REPO! The Genetic Opera accomplished in a mere six months after it's release.
The world is big enough for both of us to exist... So let us EXIST TOGETHER - and instead of talking how pissed and angry we are - just continue to show people why REPO! THE GENETIC OEPRA is important to you... To your friends... Talk... no SCREAM about why REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA is important - not why REPO MEN suck!
THE GENETIC OPERA has been around since the late 90's. And will continue to be around until 2056!
Never forget - "WE STARTED THIS OPERA SHIT!" <b>
Now, I want to do a Repo the Genetic Opera VS Repo Men trailer AND I want to hear your thoughts on this! I want to hear, to those fans to those people who love Repo what made it special to you? What is so special about it to you, what are your thoughts on Repo Men?
