The Chaos Emerald

The week has been very interesting and it's Sunday. You know what that means, hopefully a relaxing day. Well onto The Devil's Carnival. It's a musical (movie) about these three people who go to hell and it's actually a carnival. Aesthetically, the movie is very creepy looking which makes it really awesome. Very dark lighting, strange make up and abandoned looking sets. There we a lot of cool looking characters, but my favorite was Alexa Vega (you know, from Spy Kids) as Wick.

Emilie Autumn as Painted Doll was trippy and awesome. I mean look at that make up

Needless to say, the movie itself was WAY too short. I mean, we're talking like an hour long. Thankfully the movie was entertaining enough to keep me engaged and not complain too much of how short it was. But we saw the movie with a shitload of cosplayers who had already seen the movie before and Repo. This resulted in a lot of singing before and after the movie. Now the singing during the Repo clip, I don't really mind because they're not taking anything away from the movie itself (it was like 15 minutes from starting). I considered it that moment when people sing along to songs at concerts that they play on the PA between sets. But during the actual movie, we were all fortunate that the people sitting directly behind us knew every word to every god damn song in the movie. GAH!!! We all just wanted to shoot them after the first word. Since it was a musical, it was kinda hard to come out not liking a song and the one that stuck to me was "Kiss the Girls." Even though what is beneath is just a snippet, the song itself is pretty out there.

Now easily the best part of the night was just was just crackin' jokes. Before, during and after, it was just a really good night to spend with friends. PERIOD!

On a complete sidenote, the music in The Devil's Carnival reminded me a lot of Babylon Circus' "La Cigarette." Check it out, it's a good song. Have a great day.
