Repo! The Genetic Opera in Theaters Again
Repo! The Genetic Opera suffered the “Straight to DVD/Blu-Ray” death it didn’t deserve. However, due to the success of the Repo! Road Shows, Lionsgate is sending it out on its 4th run. It’s pretty cool to see the fans of this little gem have an impact. The Repo! Road Shows are midnight showings and are definitely an event, so if you have a chance head out to see this in a theater if it’s near you. Read my review here.
Trailer and full Repo! Road Show dates after the jump.

geekTastic! 7 Foot Long Star Wars Mon Calamari Star Cruiser?
The things people do with Legos amazes me. Thomas Benedikt created this 7 Foot Long Mon Calamari flagship from Return of the Jedi.
From Gizmodo:
“The stunning Lego model—created by Thomas Benedikt—was created to scale with the official Lego Star Destroyer, which is an impressive 3,104 pieces beast on its own. According to Thomas, the ship was almost impossible to recreate in Lego because of the difficulty of its surfaces: There’s no right angles at all.”
