That's right, you cult-film fans out there know exactly what I'm talking about. REPO MAN. This epic film was one of a double feature I had the honor of seeing last night at the AERO theater in Santa Monica. The other was This is SPINAL TAP. What a double feature!!! You're thinking to yourself right now, "JohnnytheFuture, you've gotta be sh*tting me!" Well, just for that, you're not in the gang anymore!

It was truly a feat to view these films in succession, without my own cranium exploding as a justifiable result of their awesomeness. Spinal Tap, with all its subtleties, had me confused in my hilarity, or hilariously confused, I'm not sure which one. Especially when read their own reviews on such album titles of "Shark Sandwhich" (or Sh*t Sandwich), "Intravenus de Milo", or "The Gospel according to Spinal Tap" (or a "pretentious ponderous collection of religious rock psalms is enough to prompt the question, 'What day did the Lord create Spinal Tap, and couldn't he have rested on that day too?")The movie was endlessly quotable, and I was struck by the Gumby placement in the film, (David wears a Gumby and Pokey t-shirt, Nigel wears a Gumby bendable-figure in his black shirt's front pocket) I now must have these items! Either way, two thumbs up, an A-Ok hand gesture (Which I'm in the process of bringing back) and on a scale of 1 to 10, this film goes up to eleven.

Repo Man, oh where do I even start with you? A very different type of movie in terms of humor when compared to Spinal Tap. Though, in my world, both senses are equally hilarious. I know Quentin Tarantino used elements from this film when making Pulp Fiction, I mean, look at Samuel L. Jackson's character, and compare him to Repo Man's "Lite", here we have the origin of "Jules". And deservedly so that this film be referenced by another film, for every filmmaker should reference Repo Man when making their film, its the kind of movie that honestly respects its audience, allows it to build a fanbase, and is completely re-watchable.

That being said, I think I'm gonna go do some crime. Yah, I'll go get sushi, and not pay. King. God.
