I have terrible taste in movies.

So, the universe seems to agree that the 2010 Jude Law/Forest Whitaker vehicle Repo Men is terrible. I disagree. I think that it was more fun than a barrel of monkeys, had this hilarious/amazing dark humor to it, and doesn't try to take itself too seriously. It is a bit over-long, but it's so much fun that I don't care.

The scene with the nine-year-old in the frilly dress performing invasive surgery, and the bizarre/beautiful violence-as-sex scene at the film's climax make the whole thing worth it. I know that the trope is interplay of sex and violence, but this was basically the most amazing idea ever. Kind of difficult to watch, but an amazing metaphor, basically about sex as a deconstruction/exploration of the self by the partner. I mean I guess it's not really sex, but it's things going into things and there was blood and guts and it was filmed really suggestively and at one point I turned to my friend and was like, "I can't tell if they're actually having sex or not right now, in addition to all that other stuff," but we decided they probably weren't because that... wouldn't really make sense. I guess other people don't think that much about this kind of stuff? It takes a dramatic writing major.

ANYWAY I'm kind of glad this movie got NO press coverage because it made watching it all that much better. SO I WILL NOT SPOIL YOU. :)

I THOUGHT IT WAS REALLY GOOD, I DON'T CARE THAT IT'S GOT LIKE A 14% OR WHATEVER ON ROTTEN TOMATOES. SOME MOVIES ARE JUST FUN, AND THIS IS A FUN MOVIE.

Also, Repo the Genetic Opera is one of my least favorite movies ever and I don't understand everyone's obsession with it, it is quite honestly overhyped and bad. Like, not even Rocky Horror So Bad It's Good. Just bad.

Also Jude Law might be one of the most gorgeous men on the planet. Even if his hairline is receding. That accent! I melt.
