One of the first things that was posted on Repo's Website. I really love this song - all of the songs I've heard, actually. If you get a chance to troll YouTube or go to Repo-opera.com this weekend, there are quite a few different vids to check out...
"Mark it Up" - both the actual film clip and the featurette
"Zydrate Anatomy" film clip
"Legal Assassin" Featurette (this one is actually my favorite - because ASH is my fav, duh)
and then there's the "17" film clip (embedded below)
Here's the YouTube Vid for "17":
the Lyrics:
SHILO
Seventeen! Mama drama's got to go, dad
Seventeen! Nothing's gonna bring her back
Seventeen! Experiment with something living
Seventeen! 'Cos I'm sweeter than 16
ALL
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey (x2)
(CHORUS) SHILO
(Seventeen!) I've always longed for true affection
(Seventeen!) But you compare me to a corpse!
(Seventeen!) Stay with the dead, I'm joining the living
'Cos I'm freer than sixteen!
ALL
Hey hey hey hey!
Hey hey hey hey! (x2)
[Joan Jett solo]
SHILO
Something's changing...
I can feel it...
I'm seventeen now
Why can't you see it?
Seventeen and you can't stop me
Seventeen and you won't boss me!
You cannot control me father,
Daddy's girl's a fucking monster!
... I won't do anything to you, except maybe beg.
And before you question me on the seemingly contradictory term of "funny nightmare", let me explain: I had a dream that was scary during the actual dream, but it was so funny when I woke up from it.
We on the same page? Good. 'Cause here's what happened...
I've been doing a mighty fine lot of surfing on the net these last coupla weeks, seeing what other people have to say about Repo! The Genetic Opera. I've also seen and read interviews from different actors/actresses regarding their thoughts on the fans (of all different stuff, but mainly BTVS).
In particular, I was laughing and shaking my head because Anthony Stewart Head (below) was talking about being held subject to a mob of fans at one of the Comic Cons, as well as various experiences with people trying to sneak a picture of him on the train, or approaching him when he's trying to have dinner with his family, etc etc etc.
I was thinking about that last night - about how ridiculous people can get when it comes to a celebrity. There is no way I'd do that to somebody. I just couldn't be that rude to someone who was obviously trying to spend time with their family, you know?
Well, here's where the nightmare part comes in. (Are you ready for this?)
I dreamt that I met ASH and I acted like a total idiot. I couldn't stop myself. It was like an out-of-body experience. I could see myself gibbering and doing every stupid thing a fan does - everything I've mentally spurned.
I had absolutely no will of my own.
And he had to call the police on me! I went to jail for harassment!! Can you believe it? ME?
I had to laugh at myself this morning. I mean, really, who dreams about that? Most people who dream about meeting their favorite celebrity often have a very different, pleasing outcome. Not that I would know about that sort of thing.
My brain spits crap like this at me instead of the fun stuff other people report.
Which is entirely unfair. Completely and entirely unfair.
So I've been checking out some different boards regarding my fav actor, Anthony Stewart Head (click for imdb listing), and I found out that he's going to be in a major role (not that piddly one-liner crap like with Sweeney Todd) AND it's a musical (ABSOLUTE SQUEE MOMENT in and of itself!) AND it's going to be a ROCK MUSICAL!
Can you tell I'm super excited?
If not, let me just say - I'm super excited.
Here's the place to go to see the trailer: Repo-opera.com
Here's a link to one of the Blog posts by the filmmaker (same guy responsible for the SAW movies): blog posting
Here's a link to the MySpace profile that has 3 songs from the soundtrack posted (it sounds pretty cool!): Repo-opera on MySpace
And finally, here is a picture that I found on google (whom I really really love).
click to see the full-sized imageSo he might look a tad maniacal right there, but that's ASH playing THE REPO MAN. His job is to repossess organs from people who fail to make their payments. hehe, twisted, isn't it?
I CANNOT wait.
Still super excited.
Thought I'd tell ya, just in case you thought I'd calmed down. =)
...has been announced. And WooHoo, a British show is makin' it stateside! NBC announced their fall lineup. It included series or miniseries called "Merlin." My current favorite Brit, Anthony Head, has been cast to play the role of Uther Pendragon, Arthur's father.
You can find out just a smidge more here: http://www.nbc.com/Primetime/Merlin/index.shtml
This site should have more info about it as it gets closer to air time, though.
How very exciting! I've not been watching much of any TV, but this is something I will MAKE the time to watch... or at least, record, and watch at my leisure. =)
Just as a note, I checked Mr. Head's profile on IMDB to see if I could find anymore, but got sidetracked by the discussion boards at the bottom of the page. There were a few different discussions, but the first one to catch my eye said "what was his line in sweeney todd?" This is a very valid question, thought I, because I don't remember what the hell he said either. I was too busy turning to my husband and gasping "Hey, that's ASH!" I totally missed the line. So in I go, only to find that there are TONS of people who had the same reaction... they were yelling out "Hey, that's Giles!" in the middle of the theater, and missed the line as well.
Brought a chuckle to my otherwise sick day. (yeah, i'm sick. stupid antibiotics)
I've posted another fanfic... or rather, submitted it to two different websites. I submitted it to BuffyGiles.net and ODD (Of Demons & Destiny on vampirecows.com). I'm hoping that they get their updates done soon. I'll be so excited when I can go to a popularly-visited site and see something I wrote there. Even if it is just fanfic.
More randomness later. I'm at work and don't wanna get the evil eye. =)
