Two Genres, Long Separated....

...have finally been reunited. Torture porn and opera! Yes, we were all waiting with baited breath for the happy amalgamation of these two "art forms", and at last our perverted prayers to Eli Roth and the Pantheon of Sick Fucks and Assorted Tenors have been answered:

Repo: The Genetic Opera

Thanks to Hillary for the find! Normally I'd just be weirded out by this kind of thing and go off on a rant about how much I hate Saw and how torture porn is one form of media that actually DOES encourage violence, but something gave me pause. This thing is going to star both Sarah Brightman and Anthony Stewart Head. That's Giles, the stuffy but lovable British library/Watcher from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. And Sarah Brightman is a fairly well-known singer of operatic music. Neither of them really seemed like someone to star in something that looks like this, but hey. For all I know it could turn out to be the next Rocky Horror Picture show. Only it would have bloody dismemberment instead of sexual exploration, and an abundance of skimpy leather outfits instead of...well, ok. That'd be the same.

Oh god, I totally missed that. I wrote her off as just the bimbo host of the scream awards or whatever that was.

Who was the other guy doing the introduction? He looked like Bruce Campbell's younger, slimier brother.

Paris Hilton is a fucking idiot.

I really don't have anything intelligent to say.
