First-Date BAIT! by @jimlingss

fluff | two shots

First dates are embarrassing. First dates are awkward. I’ve been through countless ones, sitting across from people who bored the living daylights out of me. It was less exciting than watching paint dry. Some dates were so utterly rude - I think you and I both know what it’s like to be on the receiving end on that. But now we both don’t have to waste our time anymore!

With First Date Bait they went out for me! Afterwards, they informed me if it was recommended to go out on a second date. It’s amazing with a 99.99% accuracy rate! That’s how I ended up meeting my husband!

Why waste your time with awkward first dates?

what you did last summer by @winetae

smut | one shot | 33.8K words

Yoongi was fine with a lot of things—you maxing out his credit cards to buy ridiculously expensive items of clothing that you never wore more than once, you taking out his newest ride for a spin without permission, you spending an extra thirty minutes on your hair and makeup when he was running late for a dinner function.

What he was not okay with, however, was you sharing your pussy with barely-out-of-college boys who were incapable of going five seconds without creaming their pants.

No, that was where he drew the line.

Evaluting Gatchaman Crowds Through Rui’s Outfits

12 Days of Aniblogging 2020, Day 1

Oh, I’m fashionably late to this one. Gatchaman Crowds is a 2013 superhero anime that serves as a soft reboot of the old tokusatsu franchise, only now with 21st century shitty anime tropes. From this painfully generic setup emerges a surprisingly layered evaluation of technological disruption in the smartphone era. For this reason, Crowds is a favorite amongst anime bloggers as a superhero work that’s actually trying to do something interesting.

Unfortunately I don’t care about any of these guys

But it’s also a favorite amongst all sorts of weirdos because of the character Rui Ninomiya. A horrifying amalgamation of the technolibertarian CEO and trans femme hacker archetypes, Rui is by far the most interesting character in the show, because they’re a surprisingly prescient look at how the tech industry will function throughout the 2010s. But they’re also a ‘boy’ who never leaves their house without dressing in the most girly clothes imaginable. Predictably, this is catnip for me. But the funniest part of the whole situation is that nobody ever addresses it. Rui never provides an explanation for their outfits and the rest of the cast just uses she/her until they properly get acquainted and switch to he/him.

I could tell you that Rui’s obviously trans and wrap up the post right there, but that’s honestly not the most interesting angle of attack here. So I’m just going to use whatever pronouns I feel like in the moment for them and focus on what really matters: fashion! Rui has a surprisingly large wardrobe throughout the show, so I’ll be doing the heavy lifting of ranking each of her outfits. Oh, and also maybe a little analysis of what she represents. Spoilers for the whole show, of course.

7. The Yellow Dress

Let me lay out Rui’s ideology before I lay into their fashion disaster. You see, they’re a tech disruptor who believes that governments and bureaucracies are too slow to achieve the monumental (yet unspecified) change that society needs. So, they preside over a smartphone app called GALAX that successfully predicts Pokemon Go’s geosocial AR gimmick three years early. GALAX is a technolibertarian’s wet dream – crowdsourced emergency response, interest-based meetups, and matchmaking for people who need specific help and the people who can help them, all deeply gamified.

Their outfit here is about as messy as their politics, but at the same time, what a look. She’s got blue-and-white-striped programming thigh highs on under her combat boots, which are both such trans iconography, you know? While they may just be a reflection of early-2010s 4chan crossdressing culture, it’s also totally possible that Rui directly influenced or reinforced trans girl fashion, like the accelerationist she is. What a prescient show, in all sorts of weird ways.

6. Lace-up Dress with Bunny Ears

It wouldn’t be an anime girl cosplay without some bunny ears, now would it? Rui spends 5 minutes in an early episode just wandering around the city in this outfit, listening to people’s conversations and feelings on GALAX. There’s something very funny about how nobody even notices them, like they’re completely invisible despite their ridiculous outfit. This actually factors back into the tech stuff! Like pretty much every tech company, Rui’s app and vision are both sleek and shiny but rely on tremendous amounts of dirty labor kept as hidden as possible. From Amazon’s inhumane warehouse conditions to Facebook’s trauma-inducing moderator farms to Apple’s child labor-tainted supply chains, there’s always suffering humans behind the too-good-to-be-true magic of tech companies. Rui’s lie by omission is failing to mention that the app relies on invisible extradimensional beings called CROWDS that are manually controlled by underpaid workers to assist its users. One of the workers comes to Rui challenging their vision and arguing that they should be sharing this tech with the movers and shakers of the world, not trying to keep it invisible. He threatens a collective walkout and Rui fires him. At this point, we’re not even operating on metaphors.

5. Green Business Casual

Sure, most tech companies have cruel labor underbellies, but there’s also the separate risk of moral rot. It’s what causes Microsoft to take on ICE contracts and Google to develop censored versions of their search engine at the whims of authoritarians. Many tech companies start off with an altruistic message, but without a serious ethical core, they will start doing a whole lot of evil as they bend to financial and other pressures. Rui’s version of this is extremely literal: she made a deal with the devil to gain the ability to use the CROWDS and launch her app. Except this devil is also a butch gender-noncomforming alien (there is a Lot of other gender going on in this show that I don’t even have time for) and the two of them seem to have an extremely fucked-up relationship. Like any good Faustian bargain or any bad attempt at raising more venture capital without a viable business model, eventually the whole thing comes tumbling down and now you’re doing something terribly fucked up. Rui looks good in a dress shirt, at least!

4. Whatever your abusive partner puts on when she body-snatches you

Of course the center won’t hold, GALAX is subject to a hostile takeover, and to nobody’s surprise, an app with the flimsy promise to change the world for the better can actually be way better at ripping it all apart. I guess the prescient social media parallel here is Facebook being used to propagate Myanmar’s ethnic cleansing, or really anything related to Twitter for the last 5 years. FuckedUpAlienMimic!Rui sure does have cute fangs and a way more refined fashion sense though. I don’t feel like looking into that one.

3. Business....Futch?

I know I’m not done outlining Rui’s arc, but I’m going to skip ahead for a moment to say that Gatchaman Crowds also has a second season! I’m largely ignoring it here because Rui is pretty much stripped of all plot relevance and most of her outfits are less exciting, but I had to include this one. For two episodes, she puts on bright yellow stirrup leggings and an oversized polo shirt, with a cute ponytail to boot. It’s a ridiculous look, but still feels really evocative to me. Sometimes a girl just has to put together completely uncoordinated outfits and see what happens.

Unlike the disruption-focused first season, Gatchaman Crowds season two, which aired in 2015, is about how unfettered technolibertarianism can easily descend into fascism. Goddammit.

2. The Bunny Ears Outfit Again Oh God Who Hurt Her

The weight of the world comes crashing down in Rui’s hands, she’s bruised and beaten in a surprisingly sadistic manner by her alien ex-business partner/girlfriend, and she’s locked out of her own company which is very quickly causing society to fall apart. So what does she do? She puts the bunny dress back on, and wanders the streets again until she has to call upon the powers that be to fix her own mess. It’s silly that the powers that be in this world are superheroes, but I bet you forgot that this was technically a superhero show at this point. Anyways, my extended metaphor is quickly drifting off course, but I guess this is the part where Rui gets grilled by Congress and slapped with an antitrust case.

1. Every Trans Girl Stereotype Rolled Into One

I’ve been incredibly harsh on Rui throughout this writeup, because I’m harsh on the industry she represents, but I’ll make it up with this section. Look at what she’s wearing! A choker, the gothiest Hot Topic dress imaginable, arm warmers, no less than three asymmetric garters not even holding up anything, and the tallest black boots she could find. It’s incredible! If the first outfit on this list was hinting at her relationship to stereotypical trans fashion, then this outfit just screams it. It’s the perfect goth femme hacker look, a style commitment I have no choice but to respect.

Gatchaman is a weird show. After spending most of its runtime thoroughly dunking on tech disruptors for being too optimistic and uncritical, it takes a last-minute turn into Lockean state of nature arguments. It settles on “the masses are inherently good enough that empowering people through technology shouldn’t ever be a problem”, ignoring all the suffering that happened due to Rui’s unwillingness to curate their own technology. I’d give Gatchaman Crowds an average rating, but it’s one of those interesting average ratings where instead of being milquetoast, they tried something and failed and wrote themselves into a corner. But hey, at least there’s an interestingly gendered character!

Let’s Play “Moments: Lust Under The Moon 2″ Part 1

Lust Under the Moon was the first of the Moments games that I played when I first downloaded the app. I wrote about it in the email group. And I'm certain that I could go and dig up all of the posts about what happened... I just don't feel like it.

Furthermore, I'm not sure if this is a direct sequel to the first, or if there's a different MC. In the first one, I named MC “LeatherFang” (LF for short), because why not? In the spirit of that, I'm going to name the MC of this game “ScarletFang”, or SF for short. (Thanks random goth name generator! That's... a name.)

Anyway, I'm not quite sure what's going to happen in this game. At the end of the last one, LF got marked with Patrick, and that seemed pretty final. So unless they're going to go back and say that none of that happened at the end, or to say that your lover at the end died, but you can totally get remarked if that happens...???

I also love Patrick till the end times. So unless he's just not in this game, then that's probably who SF is going to end up with.

ALSO ALSO... I have like 400+ diamonds right now, so I'll be doing a bit of VIP options. Yay.

On to the game!

We start off with what I'm guessing is amnesia SF, in some sort of underground fighting arena... punching who I'm pretty sure is werewolf!Liam in the face. The only thing she remembers is her name: ScarletFang Rose.

Anyway, that's Patrick (aka the husbando). She has visions of him, but doesn't know who he is or what he means to her.

Don't know who this is, but he seems to know SF.

Anyway, this is Barry Whitmore, aka the one that SF had been fighting in the arena. (Using Liam's werewolf avatar was... probably not the best idea...) SF tells Barry that he needs stitches for a cut on his brow, and he teases her “has your memory come back and you just remembered that you're a doctor?” I legit can't tell if he's just joking around or if he actually knows something. SF takes care of his wound. He remarks that whenever she injures another wolf, it always take them longer to heal than usual. Also, nobody quite knows what she is, and she doesn't even have a scent. Barry thinks that she's a witch, but she doesn't have any actual powers... except for, you know, her super fast healing and fighting abilities and what-have-you. She mentions that she knows about how territorial that werewolves are, and he asks how she knows that. The sexual tension is thick BUT YOU ARE A MARRIED WOMAN, YOUNG LADY. (Not like she remembers that). SF and Barry are apparently lovers from time to time, too, although SF inwardly admits that she prefers being his friend than his lover.

I too enjoy cage-fighting in a Jessica Rabbit dress. σ.σ

SF resists him. He asks why, and she says that she feels like it's a mistake. He insists that she resisted that urge three times already, so why not more? He wants to mark her, but all of this goes back to how she doesn't know who she is. She feels like there's somebody else out there, waiting for her.

She has another vision of Patrick, this time fighting with Liam. She has a phantom pain on her shoulder, from where the werewolf bit her back in the first installment of this series. But she doesn't have a scar or any other indication that she was bitten there, so it seems weird to her that it would hurt.

Barry apologizes, and says that since she's markless, she seems like the perfect candidate to be marked. But SF is quick to point out that she doesn't even know if she's a werewolf or anything like that. She continues to pull away from him. He mentions that “Eisendrath” wants to see her at the manor, and she seems irritated. So SF goes to the manor, via a car Eisendrath sends for her.

He's apparently “bound” to her, and he kind of owns her. Oh boy... He seems to think that she's changed a lot in the two years since he found her, but SF says “two years in a cage can do that.” He asks SF to kill somebody, and she says “but what if I say 'no'?” He says that she literally cannot say no, and it's not like she's never killed before. But only just other supernatural creatures inside the cage fights. He goes on to say that this is another kind of monster. He shows SF a picture of “Marcus Walker”, some billionaire CEO. Should have lead with that, dude. I love murdering billionaires... so long as they aren't providing any legit care for people around them. SF describes him as being 20-something and handsome... so he's totally going to be a datable. Ugh. But, he's also apparently linked to a bunch of murders of young women. No word on if he's supernatural or not... My guess is yes, considering this series. Anyway, Eisendrath wants this done as part of a personal vendetta.

Later, SF goes to a hotel room, where she changes to meet with Marcus. She watches him for a while, but when she gets too close to him, she catches wind of his scent and pops a ladyboner. She literally cannot resist him at this point.

Marcus goes into a restaurant, and SF follows him, but as she's being seated, a host says that Marcus has requested that SF join him. Well okay then. The host goes on to explain that Marcus owns the hotel. SF declines the offer, and sits down with her back to him. However, this is all a ruse to get him to come to her.

Rich, pale, insanely good looking... My money is on vampire. (But then again, I thought Patrick was a vampire for the longest time...)

As expected, right on schedule, Marcus comes over to her table. As he talks to her, SF has another vision. (And don't expect me to identify all of them if they can't put in the avatars of the others...) SF and Marcus introduce themselves, but SF was so distracted by how horny she is for him that she forgot and used her actual name. Oops. THEN HE GOES “WHAT A BEAUTIFUL NAME.” Buahahahaha.

He joins her at her table, orders wine, and asks what she does for a living. She says that she's a “headhunter”, but offers nothing else. He tells her about his own business, and asks if she's not there to poach one of his employees, but she says that she's there for pleasure. He then asks if she'd reject him if he invited her up to his penthouse later, and she kind of plays coy. (Because she obviously can't murder him in the middle of the hotel restaurant.) She tells him to have the wine sent up, and they leave.

In the elevator, he tells SF that he's going to kiss her as soon as the doors to the penthouse open, which turns her on immensely. He goes on to describe what he's going to do with her. They get into his penthouse, and the kissing begins. SF stares into his eyes and feels like he's seen some shit, and randomly feels guilty over her need to kill him, so she decides not to.

Just then, Marcus notices some shadowy figures luring in the dark of his home. Oh, and he is a vampire (CALLED IT.) There's a very brief fight, and Marcus gets stabbed, so now SF is forced to fight. She foolishly launches herself at the vampire hunter (?) through the window, which breaks, and they both fall out, but land on the balcony a floor below.

SURPRISE!! It's Patrick! He calls out her name, much to SF's surprise. Marcus calls out to SF, and SF tells Patrick to leave, which he does by jumping down to the next balcony below. Marcus jumps down to the balcony, but he's hurt, and collapses when he lands. He asks SF who she is.

Hey, can I request RFA+V+Saeran reacting to a SuicideGirl!MC? The idea just pop up in my head lolol. I loooooove your blog hehe stay awesome

RFA+V+Saeran react to SuicideGirl!MC

Some NSFW

Ok so I had to look up what ‘Suicide Girl’ meant and what Urban Dictionary told me is that it’s an alternative style that’s somewhere between emo/goth and pin up. My type of girl and it was also noted that they’re pretty sexual and kind of known for their style of erotic pics and sometimes porn.

If this isn’t what you meant and you actually meant then let me know but I think I got this one

So let’s go!

Yoosung

He’s a stuttering mess

He never knew he was into this style until he met you

He didn’t know what a Suicide Girl was but you explained it to him and he constantly blushes “Wait so…so you’re a p-porn star??”

You blush a little “Well I wouldn’t say star…”

He has a fucking nosebleed. He has nosebleeds everyday when you’re trying on new outfits because you change right in front of him and oh mah gawwww

Your tattoos. Your piercings. The way you move. Everything. And you always send him coy little glances knowing damn well you’re giving this boy the most raging boners.

Sometimes you ask him if he can help you take pictures ;*

Sometimes you send him pictures. Your photo shoots are anywhere between PG and Rated R for Rad as Fuck or Raging Boner. Whatever.

He always tries to make sure he’s not near anyone when he opens them, but one time he accidentally opened one of your pics up when he’s with his friends

It was Rated R

On the fluffier side of things

You guys dye each others hair and exchange hair clips

You constantly rave about how much you love his eyes and it makes him blush. Sometimes you wear purple contacts and the two of you take a fuck ton of selfies.

Speaking of the selfies

They’re always so cute

You look so fierce and poised and Yoosung usually has a shocked look on his face cause “MC, you’re a model I look like-”

“You look cute Yoosung now come on”

And you start snapping away. About 20 selfies in he gets a little more confident, so he starts getting a big dopey grin on his face

It’s so cute. You look like Edgelord McGee and he’s just this little Vanilla Cone with a swirl of Awkward

10/10 for opposites attract

Jaehee

At first it was a total ‘Whoa what’ moment, but she loves and accepts you as her girlbestfriend :)

:))))))))))))))

She loves how confident you seem in all your pictures. It’s clear you’re doing something that makes you happy and that makes her happy.

The tongue piercing also makes her happy

She has seen all your photo shoots, she even has some physical copies of her favorite shots

The kicker is she doesn’t have them just because they’re hot

She genuinely enjoys some of your photo shoots, talking about how they’re very tasteful statement pieces

She flatters you constantly without meaning to just by going on about how good you are with keeping your style consistent but making variations to fit the social setting

You think she’s talking about how even at RFA parties you’re elegant, but your dark pinup taste is evident with your V cut black dress with the leg slit accompanied by the stilettos and choker.

But who really knows.

You’ve totally tried dressing her up before

Remember in her route how she asked about dark lipstick?

It works for her.

Works reaallllllly well.

But she’s pretty awkward about it all

“I don’t know, MC, I don’t think I’m bold enough for this style”

You give a small pout as you undress her, but that frown is quickly turned upside down because

Hey you’re undressing Baehee B)

Zen

He’s so down

You were worried because he always talks about you being his ‘Princess’ and being a Suicide Girl wasn’t very…. ‘Princessy’

He agrees. It isn’t.

It’s very…. ‘Queeny’

It totally reminds him of his motorcycle gang days

When you two go out he loves to wear his leather jackets and dark sunglasses, but his favorite accessory is his hand wrapped around your waist.

You two are constantly serving L o o k s

Some of his fans rag on you for your promiscuous activities, but Zen shuts that shit down real quick.

Some really skeevy Paparazzos will try getting a rise out of him

“Hey Zen, how do you feel about anyone and everyone seeing your girlfriend naked?”

Zen whips around, staring daggers into this man, half of him fighting the urge to FUCKIN BRAWL

You tighten your grip on his arm and whisper in his ear “They can see me, but you’re the only one who gets to touch baby”

His scowl quickly turns into a grin as he looks at you.

T H E B E A S T H A S A W O K E N

He ignores the paparazzi and rushes you to the car so you two can rush the fuck home and get

Nasty.

That’s the way to describe the sex between you two because he can’t control himself whatsoever when you’ve got those tattoos, those piercings, that hair. The attitude.

And fuck, half the comments on your photos are just guys telling you what the want to do with you in a bedroom so you know how to please Zen.

Sometimes he gets jealous and a little pissy about all the people commenting on your videos and photos

But he remembers you’re just in the performance game, same as him.

And when you promise that you’re all his

Well

huehuehue

Jumin

He’s so conflicted

This is not an image he can be associated with, not as the future CEO of C&R. And his father is quick to remind him of that, constantly breathing down Jumin’s neck about how he can’t be seen with you.

But Jumin loves you…and honestly the style is a bit of a guilty pleasure

He likes the leather, the chains, the tattoos and piercings.

They were things he never saw women wearing when he grew up

It made it very easy for his subconscious to latch onto you because you were nothing like any woman his father ever brought home. You were nothing like the women who had tried using Jumin for his money

You were something new and he liked it. A lot.

So even he was a little heartbroken to hear you say you’d change your style so you two could be seen in public together. You’d quit your job. You’d be whatever he needed because you loved him and didn’t want to hinder his life. He came home one day to find you dressed head to toe in casual clothes, your piercings taken out, your hair dyed all black instead of the plethora of colors it had been before.

Fuck that

He picked up his phone and started making a series of calls. First to the hair dresser, then to a stylist, then to 707.

“Jumin what are you doing??” You asked, confused as to why he wasn’t happy with your new appearance.

“You’re not changing for me.” He grunted in between calls. “I want you to be happy when you’re with me, not playing dress up and acting like something you’re not.”

You guys reached an agreement

707 would wipe any traceable history of your videos and more racy pictures so no one could connect you to the more sexual part of your career. You’d get your hair done however you wanted, and you chose to get it done a nice, dark navy color, something still fun but a little more subdued. You put most of your piercings back in, leaving a few out, and a stylist would pick out nothing but the best clothes that matched your style while maintaining a very elegant look.

One day Jumin tells you to turn on a TV to a local fashion network

You do and suddenly you see a stream of pictures pouring across the screen featuring key points of SuicideGirl style and the host going ‘Is the American ‘SuicideGirl’ style coming to Korea? While previously receiving a lot of scrutiny, we’re seeing a new shift in this trend that makes it look very … classy. Especially if you look at M.C., girlfriend of C&Rs very own Jumin Han’

A picture of you and Jumin walking down the street together is shown, both of you freshly dressed to death looking good as hell. Jumin is looking right at the paparazzi’s camera…like he knew it was there

“Jumin…did you convince a fashion network that I’m a classy alternative fashion icon?”

“It’s amazing what money can do. Now…I can enjoy you for you” He purred the last part as he wrapped his arms around you and pulled you into a kiss

707

He loves it.

You’re the perfect mix of pinup and alternative. The red lipstick and tattoos combo really turns him on.

He took your professional photos and made them his background on everything

His 7 computes

His tablet

His ipod

He hacked all his gaming systems so you’re the background/opening screen

The only place he doesn’t have one of your pro pics is his phone

That’s reserved for silly pictures of you two

He loves just tracing your tattoos with his fingers, talking about them, planning your next ones with you

Planning out all your outfits with you

He tries helping you dye your hair but that never works well for anyone.

He kisses every single one of your facial piercings all the time and the other ones

He occasionally buys fake tattoo sleeves and magnet piercings and dresses up like you

He uploads his photos to the same sites you’re on and sometimes this motherfucker gets more views

He always reads through the comments left on your videos and photos. If someones messing with you or get a little too raunchy, bet your ass their computer is fucked.

“Seven people are complaining their computers crash when they comment on my stuff”

“Huh, weird”

He’s a little uncomfortable with the video career. Just because he knows there are so many people being so…crude towards you because of it. You assure him it’s nothing, but he just hates the idea of anyone saying anything sexual or rude to you

He makes a proposal: You model for him instead. Photos of you to be put in galleries instead of online posts for sexual deviants to get their kicks off of

And you two can record your own private videos

I’ll let you decide if you take him up on it or not

Anyways

You probably saw this one coming but

So. Many. Photos.

He’s never had a subject like you and he’s eating it up

His photos always had a calm, peaceful, serene tone to them

The photos he takes of you? Passionate, daring, sexual.

You pose for days and you two could go for hours.

He’s never been bothered by nude models, but when you start stripping your clothes he gets a little flustered

“MC, we don’t have to do nude if you’d rather not. I know we have a relationship so if you’d rather save yourself…”

You grin at him, unclip your bra, and drop it all while maintaining eye contact

His eyes widen, his mouth drops, and his camera flash goes off.

Even if he gets his eyes fixed, his time being blind made him reliant on his other senses, especially touch.

Sometimes when you two are spooning, you take his hand and have him trace all your tattoos. Every time you hit a piercing he gently circles it with his index finger, and traces the shapes of the ones you have that aren’t typical rounds.

Everyone admits they never imagined you two getting together, but you foil each other nicely.

Sometimes you slip edgier pieces into his wardrobe

“MC, I don’t remember having black pants that were this…tight”

“Try them on. Trust me.” You grin when he can’t deny you the satisfaction of trying them on.

Saeran

Need I say it?

You two are the Edgelords of the century

You take pictures with him all the time and post him, constantly sending your followers into fits over the fact you guys are ‘#Goals’ or how ‘Oh my god they’re both so hot’

You get a few comments that are “Do a video together!”

Saeran doesn’t get it. What do they mean about a video together.

When he finds out

Hohohohoho

He gets so flustered and uppity. He’s pissed at your followers. “Tell them to fuck off”

But he never says he opposed to doing a video just for the two of you

Anyways

You guys take each other’s shit constantly. You’re constantly wrapped up in his hoodies, he’s always swiping your hats and belts.

Dye each other’s hair of course

Tattoo dates. Matching ones? Sure. But even when it’s just one of you getting one the other comes along and they make a day out of it

He follows you to work all the time

Someones taking racy pictures of you? If they’re a dirtbag about it I’m breaking their jaw.

You and some of your Suicide Girl friends are going out in public together? Saeran follows, never far behind.

Any douchebags on the street give you problems? He breaks their jaw.

He goes through the comments on your videos

And they piss him off so much, but then you remind him that you’re all his

Alllll hisss

HMB: Repo! A Genetic Opera

Original Publishing Date: July 17th, 2015

How much you wanna bet there's some snobby film critic whose already made the joke, "Genetic Opera? More like Generic Opera!". But in all honesty, Repo is one of the most creative films I have ever seen. Does it have problems, hell yeah, but overall I thought it was okay. The movie is set in a sort of post apocalyptic future where everyone's organs are failing and a company called GeneCo has cured this problem by creating artificial organs. The only problem is that those who can not pay the debt will be visited by a Repo Man, who will take back their organs. At first it seems like this movie is going to be a satire of healthcare and will be focusing on exploring this world, getting to know how it works, understanding its dilemmas and seeing how everything will turn out in the end. Nope. Instead the movie is about a young girl named Shilo who is kept away from the outside world by her father, a doctor, and secretly a Repo Man. But the CEO of GeneCo is dying, and does not want to pass down his company to his three children, so instead gets into contact with Shilo, the daughter of his former lover, so that she can inherit the company. Oh, and there's an opera singer named Blind Mag, who works for GeneCo and was the best friend of Shilo's mother. Mag's contract is going to expire, meaning she'll loose her job and her eyes, which were given to her by GeneCo, which means the Repo Man (Shilo's father) will be going after her. Also, the reason why Shilo's mom died is because she had a disease which Shilo's father thought he had to the cure to except it actually killed her, so that somehow made him go all Jekyll and Hyde and he now has like two personalities, one who does the killings for GeneCo and one who is more synthetic. This is a very complicated plot, but here's the thing, I was able to follow it better well. I don't know, the movie does a good job explaining it thanks to it's stylistic cut scenes, although, it's kind of annoying that right after they explain the backstories of these character it cuts to them singing about what we just learned. Oh and I forgot to mention, this is a musical. And you know what? Who cares! Seriously, why is being a musical a bad thing? Why is there this sourness towards musicals? Movies like Sweeney Todd and Into the Woods couldn't even promote itself as a musical otherwise assholes won't go see it. Why? You like music! You like movies! Put them together, and its suddenly "Oh, no way! Gross! Musicals!". Fuck you! Musicals are amazing! In this musical (well technically its an opera, but so is Les Miserables and people still call that a musical), the musical choice is rock opera, pacifically heavy metal. I'm not a fan of heavy metal, but the music was fine, though granted there's only one song I actually like in this, that being "At the Opera Tonight". As for the singers, they are fine. Some sound like professional singers, well actually, they are! Sarah Brightman, the original Christine on The Phantom of the Opera, plays Mag. However there are some who do not sound so great, like Bill Moseley. Dude, you were great in Devil's Rejects, but you can't sing. But probably the most surprising performance was Paris Hilton, yeah Paris Hilton is in this movie, and until I was done watching this movie and researching it, I didn't even know it was her! And you know what, fuck it, I thought she sounded great! She wasn't the best singer on the ensemble, but I didn't plug my ears or anything. But unfortunately, its Paris Hilton, so she has to be the butt of everyone's jokes. "And the GOLDEN RASPBERRY for WORST ACTRESS goes to PARIS HILTON", laughter and applauds by people who think they're being so witty and funny. Fuck off, she did fine. And you know what, now that we're on the subject, let's talk about the feedback for this movie. As I stated above, there are thing wrong with the movie, however, but the critics hate it for different reasons. They don't like it simply because they don't like its style. Yes, the movie is catered to goths and heavy metal lovers. Why is that a bad thing? A critic's job is to set aside personal prejudices and opinions in order to really study to art of film and learn what makes a good movie. And guess what? Simply saying a movie is bad because you can't understand it is not a fair criticism. And when so many people look to your words to motivate them into watching someone's movie, then you have a bigger responsibility on your shoulders then you think you do. I mean, this is someone's life work we're talking about. This is their dream, whether or not they make films again all depends on how you advertise the movie. And yes, there are movies out there that will do well regardless if critics like it or not, but that kind of magic can't happen with indie and small film makers like this one. I'm not saying don't say anything if a movie is bad, but know the difference between opinion and criticism. And with that, I will summarize my final thoughts. I'm glad I say Repo. I won't call this a good movie, but at the same time its not a bad movie either. It's okay. I say give it a chance, if you don't like it, then fair enough, at least you gave it a chance.
