... I won't do anything to you, except maybe beg.
I've started a campaign locally to contact every theater I can. I've emailed AMC, Cobb, Muvico and Regal Entertainment Group corporate contacts, asking (vern nonchalantly) how a theater determines which movies it picks before moving into a humble plea to add REPO! The Genetic Opera to their line-up for November. I even emailed the Tampa Theatre, asking them to inquire about REPO with their third-party distributor.
It might sound pathetic, but I'm hoping that sounding pathetic will induce some sort of pity on my behalf. Plus I'll be calling the theaters several times between now and November. I do NOT want that stupid Bond movie dominating the weekend.
I need REPO. I need it or I will explode. That happens to me sometimes. (gotta love the gir quote)
So I'm now sporting a REPO theme on my MySpace, I've added the repo groups as friends or become a fan of them on MySpace and Facebook. I troll the Repo Message Boards daily.
Ooh! Hey, if you want to listen to some sample music, go here:
repo-opera.com/secretdownload Password is geneco.
On the REPO site, there are two clips from the movie (so far) - "17" and "Zydrate Anatomy". Both make me more determined than ever to get this flick playing in FL. (Rumor has it that only NY and LA are slated to pick it up! Damn it!)
I'll post updates as I can. Lastly, here is my favorite poster (to date) in the REPO Poster Campaign.

I work at Tampa Theatre, and have been trying to get REPO! here since early September, and posts from fans like you really helped pave the way. (I'm a huge fan of both horror and musicals myself, and I adore Anthony Stewart Head.) In fact, I read your post and shared some of it with my bosses. Thanks for caring about REPO! If you come see the movie, make sure you look me up and say hi! (I'll be at every showing except Saturday night at 7:30.)
Please share the good news with anyone you think might also enjoy REPO!, and e-mail me if you want to help distribute postcards and such. Thanks again...
