    .....and also Repo: The Genetic Opera but I couldn't think of a title that would include that too.

    Yesterday I finally got my copy of Alleluia! The Devil's Carnival and I FINALLY got to watch it and it was BEAUTIFUL and I love it. Right now I'm making my way through the bonus material.

    I will be doing a stream of it on Friday, March 4 at 7:15 pm EST. I'll post the link here like a half hour before, and anyone from kintsugi is welcome to come watch.

    This thread is, obviously, for anything related to any of the three movies.

    I've seen Devil's Carnival and Repo and loved them. What's the third one?

    The sequel, Alleluia! The Devil's Carnival. It was on tour fall 2015 and the dvd and bluray set was just released...maybe a few days ago, since I got it in the mail yesterday. It's bigger and better and absolutely fantastic and everyone involved did an excellent job. It goes into Painted Doll's backstory, and you get to see heaven and Paul Sorvino being creepy and just. Everything. It's fantastic.

    Oh man, I remember hearing that there was a sequel in the works! I need to find it then!

    WAIT THE MOVIE IS OUT ON DVD?

    I haven't seen the first movie - just Paw Dugan's review of it - but it seemed really cool. And I listened to some of the songs from the soundtrack of this one (flank to flank and facing forward) and man. I also remember being REALLY confused about how some of the stuff was supposed to work (like, the Translators apparently... torture people? With recording devices? Hm) so watching it will be great.

    ...though, annoyingly, I have tabletop club until 8 o'clockish. I don't want to miss any of the movie but I won't be able to show up until an hour in...

    1. the Translators are fucking amazing and are quite probably my favorite new characters, and I had the same questions

    2. don't worry about it, it's such a good movie i'll probably do more than one stream. Maybe towards the end of March I'll do another one.

    3. I thought they weren't going to ship it for another month and a half! I'm as surprised as you!

    And you should do a stream of both movies around Halloween! But that's pretty far in the future. I'll just catch the later chunk of the movie and check wikipedia on Friday.

    That sounds like an excellent idea!

    Okay, some thoughts and stuff as I'm watching the bonus materials:

    Apparently when David Hasselhoff showed up for filming the first day, he got out of his car and was wearing a mask of his own face, and said "THE HOFF HAS ARRIVED" and ripped it off

    June is absolutely gorgeous and I would be gay for her too tbh

    Apparently the Applicant dresses are like, actual dresses being sold somewhere and I am going to find them and buy one because dysphoria be damned, I think I'd look cute in it

    actually I would pay money to see a happy (or even just not sad) June and Cora reunion. maybe a sad one too. i just love their friendship a lot AND NOW I'M SAD

    and oh my god I feel so bad for Gertrude. I actually said "what the fuck" when there was the closeup on her face right before Adam Pascal sings and it took me like three seconds to put all the pieces together and get very angry and upset because that's not okay what the fuck

    more to come in like half an hour

    I saw the Karaoke video and was like "oh yeah... David Hasselhoff can sing."

    This reminds me of how i first discovered Repo. So I was bored one night and asked a friend in the TGWTG fandom to give me something to watch on Netflix. Since Paw's review of Repo had just come out, they suggested that and I wanted to see what people had been talking about lately. I glanced at the description and basically saw "dystopian sci-fi...R rating... violence...strong language". I figured there was some gun violence or stabbing and someone said fuck more than once. Needless to say, 20 seconds into the movie and someone's heart is getting ripped out and I'm going "JFC WHY WAS THERE NO WARN- oh yeah that thing i didn't read...nvm carry on". I was not expecting that nor was I expecting to love it as much as I do.

    The moral of the story: read the warnings I'm a dumb

    I just got my copy of Alleluia! TDC over the weekend and I just want to watch it on repeat forever right now. It's so much fun.

    I didn't realize how much I'd missed Repo until A!TDC came out. The Drafthouse theaters down here used to do full on RHPS-style audience participation screenings for Repo. Blue "Zydrate" Kool-Aid and throwing gummi body parts at people during singalongs. Best. Thing. EVER.

    "I love Alleluia! so much, I'm going to listen to the Repo soundtrack on repeat for days"

    EXACTLY. I threw both TDC soundtracks and Repo in a playlist together on my phone and that's my go-to background noise right now.

    I know them all so well it's not even distracting (with new music I try and figure out the lyrics and all)

    It's occurred to me, on the eightysomethingth time I've listened to the Repo soundtrack, that a bunch of the songs have a sort of heart rhythm in the background. Thump-thump, thump-thump...
    It's a nice touch

    Hey Bel does your dvd have subtitles with lyrics on? Or translations of the German bits in Hoof and Lap?

    strictly quadrilateral alive, alive, alive!

    lyric booklet! there are probably subtitles but i haven't looked for them yet

    Meine Liebe, mein Welpe, spiel den
    Wildpferden, klar-klip-klap
    Mit unseren Röcken hochgezogen
    Und im Grätschitz und Reitgerte

    Mein Liebe, mein Welpe, steig auf de Wildpferde
    clip-clop-clip
    To the hound, a round of hell on the Devil's carousel

    edit: sorry, just realized you said translations. idk about those, but I do have what the Rosy Bayonettes sing which I think is at least close enough:

    My love, my pup
    Ze wild horses play, clop-clip-clop
    With our skirts up, und our knives out
    Und a saddle und a riding crop

    My love, my pup
    Ze wild horses mount, clip-clop-clip
    To the hound, a round of hell on the Devil's carousel

    Well, Mit unseren Röcken hochgezogen can't mean 'with our skirts up and our knives out,' but the rest of it looks right.
