Repo! The Genetic Opera

Many of you know about the movie Repo! The Genetic Opera.

For those of you who don’t know about it, it’s a Rock opera that was originally a stage-play, and then was captured for film.

The movie includes many famous actors/actresses, including Alexa Vega (Shilo), Anthony Head (Repo Man, Nathan), Sarah Brightman (Blind Mag), Terrance Zdunich (Graverobber), Paul Sorvino (Rotti), Paris Hilton (Amber Sweet), Bill Moseley (Luigi), and Nivek Ogre (Pavi).

Repo! Theatrical Trailer

It’s a fantastic movie, and if you haven’t seen it yet, you should go watch it.

And now for the reason I am bringing up this movie;

I was doing some research on the actors in the movie that I had never seen before and Nivek Ogre, who plays one of my favorite characters, Pavi, is in a band that started in the eighties called “Skinny Puppy.” Their music is fantastic, especially if you enjoy the music from the movie, or if you like progressive-style techno. For an example of their music, watch the video for their song “Pro-Test

Nivek is also in a band called “OhGr.” Also good music. Very similar to Skinny Puppy. For an example of OhGr’s music, see the video for “Cracker”:

Great movie, great bands. Just all around greatness.

Seriously, M.B.

I'm going to ask a question...

That has been asked millions, perhaps trillions of times before.
I already know the answer to this question, but I also have another question that is a little harder to answer.

Question one:

Where does the wonderment, the excitement, and the strange but amazing way of thinking you had as a child disappear to?

Why does it have to go?

That's easy. It's because people are forced to think logically by the already mentioned Educational System. As well as their parents, who got it from the Educational System.

But...

is there a way to re-establish that kind of thinking?
A way to remove all sense of what is "logical," and move completely back to wonderment?

I can't think of one.
Can you?

If you can, please, e-mail me.
