Film and TV discussion

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

You did! Like I said, Repo! is hilarious.

And surprisingly, has turned into a cult movie like Rocky Horror Picture Show. There are midnight showings with shadow casts, audience participation, and specific call-back lines. I had no idea until I went to a screening for The Devil's Carnival (which is by the same writer/director team).

I would totally go to something like that.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Not sure why you'd say "surprisingly". The thing practically screamed "I wanna be a cult movie" from the get-go.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Isn't there an Ed Gein musical, too? (Which seems ready-made to be a cult movie.)

Oh, I knew it would be a cult movie, I just hadn't realized it was going to go the whole audience participation route.

Whereas their second project, The Devil's Carnival (which makes even LESS sense than Repo!, but is full of circus-y eye candy) was deliberately made for that sort of thing. Going to the "road show" screening of it was fun, but made me feel OLD: I kept muttering, "Child, where are your PANTS?!" at the teens running around in stockings and ruffled booty shorts.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Mark is about to start watching Angel S5 and Dollhouse. Check out this awesome banner someone made. I can't even tell which set is which.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I don't know how to tell Mark: "The first season is almost entirely crap and the second season is almost as good as Firefly."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't know why you'd tell him that.

He's liking it so far, I think. And he's loving the hell out of Angel Season 5, which seems to be really popular among the commenters. It wasn't very popular on TWoP, if I recall. Or maybe that was just Strega.

So he'll hang around to watch the second season? I won't tell him anything, of course.
