    made $188,126 on an $8.5 million budget because it spent all its money on casting Paris Hilton instead of hiring My Chemical Romance to compose the music. nevertheless i think it is bold + admirable to make a movie that caters exclusively to the marginalized subsect of emo…

    My favorite part is when Joan Jett appears to shred on the guitar for 1 song and then disappears for the rest of the movie.

    How does Blind Mag feel about leaving GeneCo? She’s on the fence about it.

    I hate to say it, but I love this movie. Even Paris Hilton can’t detract from that. For a horror-musical, this hits all the right notes. Each song is unlike anything you’ve ever heard in a musical before. The soundtrack still gets heavy rotation for me to this day.

The grim finality of the ensuing pietà suggests the last act of Hamlet or, rather, Hamlet 2--so embarrassing that, for the first time, I wanted to avert my eyes from the screen, although that might have also been because Repo! appears to have been shot with a cell phone.
