2008-08-14T01:43:47Z

Well, since I posted all that about the film stuff . . .

2008-08-11T02:08:46Z

I've gotta note some things I'm curious about how will be handled from the transition of stageplay to film.
Because when you compare different versions of the same songs, it sounds like they've made a lot of them more mainstreamy?

And then it seems like all of the music they're promoting doesn't seem to be so opera-y as a lot of the original stuff.

So you can hear some excerpts of the old stage play songs here:REPO! Stage play music clips
clips include:

zydrate anatomy, thankless job, infected, chromaggia's lament _{(Sarah Brightman will be going for this, I hope it's good! It sounds pretty!)}, and gold.

So a few of those songs are less "rock" and more "opera." I wonder if they'll keep that?

I kinda wonder if not though- Cuz I was listening to this Blame Not My Cheeks clip ("WARNING! EXTREMELY CHEESY!" it says on the site) and that's the character Paris Hilton's playing . . . Can she do this with her voice, even?

And then there's this BRAVI! BRAVI! BRAVISIME! clip from the stageplay as well . . . Can the guys in the movie do this?

(I think that may be paris hilton's character (ms. sweet) at the end of that too. Is the part designed for that kind of voice? I kinda think that the character is designed to not be one of the ideal singers, so if Paris couldn't pull it off, it would fit at least for her character. :P)

"Bravi!" and "Blame Not My Cheeks" are listed on the Song List at the film's site, so I guess they'll all be going for it?

It'll be interesting . . .

. . . Oh god, the suspense! :P

(I hope there will be more opportunity to know more about the stage play on the DVD or something?)

. . . I'm such a nerd. :P

More geeking out, sorry. :P

2008-08-11T01:12:57Z

You know I'm just going to keep updating about this shit until the movie comes out, eh?

So . . . You can listen to a lot of the REPO! music on their myspace page! I've been listening to those nonstop. Anyway, I think a couple of the songs on the rare promo CD have been put on Youtube? Cuz I dunno where else they're coming from . . .

Anyway, here's a list of the available songs from the 2008 film I'm seeing so far:

•17: available on official site, with VIDEO. (shilo wallace/alexa vega, nathan wallace/anthony stewart head.) *** Video also includes Joan Jett cameo :)
•21st Century Cure: available on myspace page. (graverobber/terrance zdunich)
•At The Opera Tonight: available on myspace page. used for teaser trailer VIDEO. (shilo wallace/alexa vega, blind mag/sarah brightman, nathan wallace/anthony stewart head, amber sweet/paris hilton, graverobber/terrance zdunich, rotti largo/paul sorvino, luigi largo/bill moseley, pavi largo/ogre)
•Chase The Morning: available on YOUTUBE (copied from promo CD?) (shilo wallace/alexa vega, blind mag/sarah brightman)
•Genetic Emancipation: available on YOUTUBE (copied from promo CD?) (shilo wallace/alexa vega)
•Night Surgeon: See below for more info***!
•Zydrate Anatomy: available on myspace page, VIDEO on official page, (shilo wallace/alexa vega, graverobber/terrance zdunich, amber sweet/paris hilton)

"Mark It Up" song has VIDEO feature available on the main site (But full version not yet available?)
Other additional song used in theatrical trailer, located on official site. (Legal assassin? Lungs and Livers? WHAT IS IT!?)

Night Surgeon is the one I've been listening to the most lately. Cuz it's made of awesome? And I'm always a sucker for the bad men in stories. And this one has 'em all, eh? :)

nathan wallace/repo man - anthony stewart head
rotti largo - paul sorvino
luigi largo - bill mosely
pavi largo - ogre

And henchgirls and genterns and chorus, of course.

(available (IN BETTER QUALITY!) on REPO!'s myspace page)

NATHAN: Dear Marni, I am so sorry
Can you forgive me for this?

ROTTI: Not the debt doctor with the hungry scalpel
Here's my prognosis: Will they live . . . ?

HENCHGIRLS: Doubtful.

LUIGI: You’re the street physician, carving flesh sculptures

PAVI: Paint your ass like Rembrandt! Ha! You like-a that?

ROTTI: Better start praying when you see him coming

LUIGI: Cuz tonight it's curtains

LARGO FAMILY: You’re the night surgeon

CHORUS: Remember who you are

NATHAN: I remember

GENTERNS: Remember what you did to Marni

CHORUS: Remember who you are

NATHAN: I remember

GENTERNS: Remember what you did

ROTTI: See your knife

GENTERNS: Perfect

PAVI: See it glide

GENTERNS: Perfect

LUIGI: See it slice

GENTERNS: Perfect

PAVI: Who’s your night surgeon?

ROTTI: Hope you have my money

PAVI: Or it's buon viagg-ee!

LUIGI: He’ll do your ass like dishes

LUIGI: AM-PU-TA-TION! GENTERNS: OOOH, AM-PU-TA-TION!

LUIGI, PAVI, ROTTI AND CHORUS: Remember who you are

NATHAN: I remember

GENTERNS: Remember what you did to Marni

LARGO FAMILY: Remember who you are

NATHAN: I remember

GENTERNS: Remember what you did to her

LARGO FAMILY: Remember who you are

NATHAN: I remember

GENTERNS: Remember what you did to Marni

LARGO FAMILY: Remember who you are

NATHAN: I remember

GENTERNS: Remember what you did to her

NATHAN: I remember every dying whisper,
Every desperate murmur,
I remember When I gaze upon her, she looks just like you . . .
I remember . . . I remember . . .

CHORUS: (in the background) Remember who you are, remember what you did to Marni!

NATHAN: I remember marking every victim
With acute precision

I remember every time I hold you
My blunt companion

When I remember, I dismember!

Cuz the claims medic gives no anesthetic!

90 days delinquent gets you repo treatment!

I'm the masked horror on your street corner!

Make your mama mourn you

I'm the Night Surgeon!

I remember . . .

Heh, listing all that info out was very pleasing a relaxing for my brain. :P

But I think I still need a time out cuz I just keep getting so excited. :P

edit. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I'm kinda sexually attracted to Paris Hilton AND Alexa Vega from that Zydrate vid. Seriously, the way Paris struts in like a little cat with two sexy manslaves. Why can't she be like that in real life ALWAYS.? And then Alexa Vega is pretty young, but 20. Which is funny cuz she looks insanely beautiful in all that dark make-up. But when my guy friends repeat the sentiment I want to go, "EW! SHE'S TOO YOUNG FOR YOU." Like it's okay in my brain for women to like girlish looks, but men should just not go there, the swine. ;) [Stay tuned for another exciting edition of Contradictions in Zas's Brain!]

OMG OMG OMG

2008-08-08T00:39:06Z

This deserves its own post. (The REPO! site was recently updated if you can't tell.)

Seriously. Bill Moseley who you may recognize killing and maiming people in such movies as The Devil's Rejects and Werewolf Women of the S.S.
Nivek Ogre of Skinny Puppy/Ohgr.

And, hey, David J and Danial Ash of Bauhaus playing instruments. Along with a Rasputina member.

I mean, essentially they're the comic relief in the movie- Luigi and Pavi are the comic relief. But in a movie like REPO!, the comic relief is a murderer and a rapist . . . So you got someone like Bill Moseley coming in to don the murderer hat. And then you got someone like Ogre from Skinny Puppy, to don the rapist hat . . . They're so good. And they're so wicked, that they can do those horrible things, but yet you still find them completely funny, cuz they're complete numbskulls.

WIN THIS FOR ME.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2008-08-08T00:05:31Z

I know you're all very capable and creative people. So get on it. Chop chop.

Um, seriously though. What I meant to say was OMG ZYDRATE CLIP.

(Better version at the OFFICIAL SITE, of course. :) )

((btw, if you can't see this then you're not on my JOURNAL filter. If you wish to be on my JOURNAL filter so that you can read more of me drooling over REPO! and gore flicks and sexy comics, feel free to leave a message on this post and I'll add you. :) Art is posted publicly, so if you're only here for that, don't worry about it.

2008-07-04T04:46:54Z

New REPO! trailer! This merits public postage!!!!

_{HINT: the version at the site is much better quality!}

. . . Seriously. Between HBII and this, this is suddenly my favorite year for movies. (I don't really end up looking forward to things like this. Generally, I watch it and THEN decide it's awesome, heh.)

. . . YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7.4.08edit. Though, boo, REPO! seems to have been pushed back to November, maybe? But only 1 week to Hellboy II. :)

No, seriously . . .

I'm not posting fanart here anymore . . .

. . . After this Abe Sapien piece because I'm kinda effin proud and people are slow to add the other one:

. . . Seriously.

2008-06-10T13:45:15Z

I'm already posting art there. (Hellboy and Johann Kraus so far.)

Go watch it. :D

2008-06-10T05:26:06Z

FANART TO BE POSTED AT cogdis FROM NOW ON!!!!

I'm not posting it here anymore. So if you're watching this journal solely for fanart, defriend and move over there. (I've got some Hellboy stuff coming up soon aaaand there's this Snape picture I've been working on for awhile but it's difficult and pissing me off, ha ha. Hopefully that will be up soon too, anyway. :))

So this journal remains for my personal/original art and ramblings.

I post all my artwork publicly . . . But if you're interested in more than that, feel free to comment here and I'll add you to my journal filter. :)

annoyances and (failed) solutions

2008-05-22T10:00:37Z

annoyance. I have too many time-taking projects going on. I need a break.
solution. Start a new series of anatomical studies since I've been wanting to do that for awhile.

annoyance. It's already apparent this first exercise is going to be taking quite some time.
solution. Start a different low commitment project.

annoyance. I don't have the time to finish a full portrait- Esp if it's just a sketch that I don't care about.
solution. Makedraw some boxes on the sketch and work those to a satisfactory level.

annoBAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I need to work more with backgrounds- I didn't really learn anything from that little time-waster, ha.

Voice Post: Super boring musing this time around . . .

2008-05-18T21:56:58Z

I just sorta let the first try stay cuz I got other stuff to do today.

I'm really trying to figure this out . . . I dunno, maybe doing some work for my sister's Gapp's Basement stuff on her site will help me accomplish what I want?

I dunno if maybe I should get into creating flash games or something, too, heh. Or one of those awesome puzzle sites? Hmm . . .

Or if there's just a way to integrate my website with other people's websites somehow- So that there's that kind of group energy to work with?

Or just to make it interact better with other things I have like deviantART or MySpace- A way to encourage traffic to jump back and forth between those accounts (which get more action) and my website. :\ That's not as cool as trying to use digital-internet media to its full capability. :P

Heh, I was trying to cover my nose from the mic so I wouldn't do the creepy stalker thing this time and I just ended up sounding like a have a cold! Creepy stalker breathing is sexier than cold-sounding. We'll see what happens over the next few Sundays, ha!

I also figured I'd post these voice things publicly since they don't take up too much space, really.

. . . Of course, this does:

SPAM:

:)

Well, I'm not planning on letting voice post entries get as long as this one (What with the buttons/pics and all.) I just figured I'd get the repo spam out of my system- Really, I'm so effin excited for the show and I know they're feeling some pressure trying to get it well publicized when it is such a non-mainstream work, heh. Those reviews are making it seem like it will really be the immensely thought through burst of creativity I'm expecting. I'm happy the responses they've been giving about Paris Hilton as well, because of the people I know who are kind of interested in it, pretty much EVERYONE was bitching about her being in it and I don't think that should be as much of a bad mark against it as people are saying.

Something one of the reviews pointed out that interested me also was that the two families seen in the show are both without mother figures. There's going to be some damn fascinating major and minor themes to explore, I think. :)

Also, as to why I would post these Voice Posts publicly and am taking up an interest in posting them in the first place . . . Well, my journal (publicly) is my place for sharing art. But I think for me, since this is not solely a portfolio situation, the voice post might let there be more of an artist to the works. I can cover topics more quickly but also there's tone and natural word choice going on- it can give a better glimpse into my brain if that is what this journal is for.

And I really do think it would help me get into the habit of better explaining/presenting myself. Also, just things being in the spirit of post-education/time-for-real-life-ness I'd like to take on some new habits that will keep inspiration and artistic/creative accountability flowing, I hope. :)

Art posts will be posted publicly, but if you want to know me a little better, you gotta comment here.

(If you can see this, you're already on that journal filter.)

I just moved my previous art posts to the journal filter. I'm going to start being more to the point with public art posts- Less chatty about my daily existence, heh. You're welcome to keep up if you're interested . . . But I guess I'd like to keep it(and photos) private from random people stumbling across my journal via google or something, you know. :)
