MOVIEBOB CENTRAL 
The whole organ thingey sounds a bit too much like “repo: the genetic opera”, from what I can gather the setting is a lot alike only without the singing.

My biggest problem with Repo Men was actually the lack of singing that and goth girls.Goth girls and Paul Sorviono can make any movie a classic.

I am also chiming in with my curiosity on the Repo! The Genetic Opera vs Repo Men thing.
I have a friend who does a part in the shadowcast of a local picture show of Repo! TGO that they perform monthly. (Yes, like they do with Rocky Horror)

I saw REPO:TGO and it was a story I had never heard before told to me in an interesting way. HUGE points for effort on that one, but that alone doesnt make it a good movie, just a curiosity.
Im hoping that by taking a similar story and polishing it a bit and adding some better actors will help the idea along to its full potential.
I'm probably going to give Repomen a pass till it hits DVD for just this reason.

Don't know if I want watch a movie that is basically a Monty Python sketch drawn out in movie length.

While both Repo men & Repo :TGO share the same premise in the end I found The genetic opera to have a lot more going on under the hood in terms of story & Character(as well as having something to say). However I can also see Genetic opera is not a movie for everyone.

minor note:
verhoeven is pronounced ver-who-ven in dutch. I don't get how everyone started saying that wrong, you'd think someone would have corrected them at an award ceremony or something.

Bob I was hoping like so many others to hear your thoughts on Repo:TGO. I started liking that movie as soon as I heard the sound track. (which I heard first) It was a great movie with great music but defenetly an aquired taste.

So, I'm not the only one who is reminded of the Python sketch, when seeing the trailers?
Don't remember that one? Go rent Meaning of Life.
