Repo Man’s got all night, every night.
The very fantastic Stop Smiling pointed me to the Financial Times article by director Alex Cox on his spaghetti western obsession. I haven’t been exposed to much of the genre beyond Sergio Leone’s The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, but I do often fall under the influence of the music.
Yet the real find was wedged into the end of the article that he is working on ‘Repo Chick’, a sequel to ‘Repo Man’. I found more details at We Are Movie Geeks along with Waldo’s Hawaiian Holiday, a graphic novel that explains what happened to Otto. There is even more at Alex Cox’s Blog.
I am a big fan of Alex Cox’s movies. Especially ‘Repo Man’. The movie along with my bootleg cassette of the soundtrack became a teenage obsession and still one of my all time favorites. Over the years I’ve found it easily quotable and a fine reference point to a Los Angeles I ended up in 20 years later.
