It's 4 a.m. Do you know where your car is?


As part of Route 1's PUNK WEEK festivities, I just finished watching the GREATEST PUNK MOVIE EVER MADE.
It's "Repo Man," by a country mile.
Remember it? Emilio Estevez stars as Otto, a white suburban punk who gets involved with the "tense" world of car repossession. He also gets involved with the search for a certain Chevy Malibu with a dangerous secret in its trunk.
British director Alex Cox produced a work of comic genius, with such moments as the two punk robbers deciding on their next course of action...
Debbie: "Let's go do some crimes." Duke: "Yeah, let's go get sushi and not pay."
and then there is Repo Man sage Bud (Harry Dean Stanton) explaining the world order to young Otto...
Bud: "Credit is a sacred trust, it's what our free society is founded on. Do you think they give a damn about their bills in Russia?" Otto: "They don't pay bills in Russia, it's all free." Bud: "All free? Free my ass. What are you, a f*ckin' commie? Huh? Otto: "No, I ain't no commie." Bud: "Well, you better not be. I don't want no commies in my car. No Christians, either."
And of course, the No. 1 PUNK moment in the history of cinema...
The Circle Jerks performing a "lounge act" version of "When The Sh*t Hits the Fan" and Otto shaking his head and saying:
"I can't believe I used to like these guys."

Oh yeah, and all the repo men are named after brands of beer (Bud, Miller, Lite, Oly, etc.) and all of the products like beer and food are "generically" named "beer" and "drink" and "food" and...
Oh, I could produce an entire blog on REPO MAN.
