Repo! The Genetic Opera
(A little sketch of the Repo Man)
I finally got to watch this movie last night and I had a ridiculously incredible time. One of the creators and the director was there to not only introduce and do a Q & A but get pished afterwards, haha.
I haven't managed to sleep at all - it's like I'm on some crazy Repo high.
First of all, it was great meeting other Repo fans. I'm not really sure what kind of impression I left but I'm going to go ahead and apologize if I made anyone feel awkward - I tend to do that because I'm really shy and just plain retarded >.>
Anaesthesia - your outfit was well amazing, I loved the scars!
Nooperz - you put us all to shame with you zydrate and lepricaun graverobber and I couldn't agree more about having any Repo-related event!
and I'm really sorry there was a lovely bunch of people there who I met but I didn't really catch many names, either way you guys rock and I'll be sure to stick my photos up later. I look feckin awful in the one and only photo I have of me with DLB and TZ, somehow nerves got the better of me and nevermind fixing my hair or trying to position my body in a slightly more flattering position but for the love of god I was trying so hard to lift simply the corners of my mouth into something that resembles smile but the nerves and the excitement paralyzed my face! I'm dreading to see any other photos of me.
I loved that out of all the little treats I gave the guys, DLB said 'thanks for the ALCOHOL', dually noted for next time. It was also great that he didn't notice my horrid glaswegian accent until I blew my cover by saying a 'wee bit'. DLB's fiance, was also incredibly loverly! when she found out I was an animator and asked whether I wanted to work abroad, to which I replied yes, she suggested that I should marry Terrence. I realize that that isn't even remotely close to any proposal but believe me her saying something silly like that is more than enough to satisfy this simple fangirl!
My amazing networking skills (not!) failed me when it came to talking to TZ. It was mostly my fault for being so shy but I'm gonna have to give props to the ocean of girls slowly drowning him through the night. They had some serious strategies going on - cornering him, surrounding him at the bar - poor guy never had a chance, haha.
The film really turned out amazing and I hope there will be other chances of watching it on a big screen. Anthony Stewart Head completely blew me away and I love Giles even more now!
I think the best thing that came out of the night was that I realized, more so than ever, that DLB and TZ are exactly the kind of filmmakers/artists I want to be. I don't want to work for money or fame or create something for critics or awards, I want to completely dedicate myself to something I absolutely love and work on projects I truly believe in. I'm now really excited about finishing art school now and this was just the little kick I needed to get me through my last two months before I step into the 'real' world. Haha, this post could turn into a shameless plug about my work but all I'm gonna say is "website coming soon!"
MON THE REPO!!!
I've lifted this straight from my post I made on the Repo Forums:
