r/GenX

Generation X was born, by broadest definition, between 1961 and 1981, the greatest anti-child cycle in modern history. Nevertheless, we grew up to become the world's most devoted parents: the "workhorse of America." This sub welcomes links, photos, graphics, memoirs, commentaries, stories, etc., for and about Gen-Xers, the 13th Generation of Americans. GenX also translates to many other parts of the world.

Repo Man (1984) the directorial debut of Alex Cox, a pitch dark SF comedy featuring Emilio Estevez and Harry Dean Stanton holds up decades later as one of the best and most influential independent films of the 1980s

With its SF elements, satire of politics and consumer culture, fringe characters and memorable dialog, Repo Man would make a great double feature with John Carpenter's They Live which came out 4 years later. Probably Emilio Estevez's best role in movies, and certainly a top tier effort in the filmography of the great Harry Dean Stanton. The film, which was produced by Monkees star Michael Nesmith, had a very limited release, initially playing only in L.A. and Chicago, but thanks to word of mouth rep. and the popularity of its L.A. punk rock soundtrack it went on to play in NYC and beyond becoming one of the best known and regarded cult/independent films of the 1980s. Any fans here?

Alex Cox Miniseries?

Has a Repo Man/Sid & Nancy/Walker miniseries ever been included in a March Madness or discussed on the pod? The first two of course are a little more known and still totally fun and worth deep dive discussions (Harry Dean Stanton, proto-They Live supermarket full of products with generic labels, Garry Oldman, Sy Richardson, even the trajectory of the Sex Pistols if it comes to it) , but the spectacular bounce of Walker both financially and critically (6 million dollar budget, $250k at the box office, zero stars from both Siskel AND Ebert) really ought to be discussed and the movie given its critical reappraisal. From all of its deliberate anachronisms in technology to mirror its 1850s setting to the not-so-different crisis in the 1980s, to arguably Ed Harris' greatest performance as this seething, pigheaded arm of imperialism (he lead the entire cast on a 10 mile forced march through the Nicaraguan countryside to get into character), to Peter Boyle's farting performance as Cornelius Vanderbilt I think that it's a straight up bug nuts masterpiece.

I am Alex Cox, director of Repo Man.

I'm an independent filmmaker, creator of Repo Man, Sid & Nancy, Straight to Hell, Walker, and other features, currently trying to raise money for the most grandiose student film of all time, BILL THE GALACTIC HERO (I also teach film at CU Boulder). As proof I'll leave a message for the Redditors on my blog, alexcoxfilms.com -- can also send you a biz card if you like.

  • Re-watching the Moviedrome screenings of films in the original order. It's just over 20 years since it first aired, but we'll try not to take 12 years to re-watch them. members
  • A lot of people don't realize what's really going on. They view life as a bunch of unconnected incidents and things. They don't realize that there's this, like, lattice of coincidence that lays on top of everything. Give you an example, show you what I mean: suppose you're thinkin' about a plate of shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, "plate," or "shrimp," or "plate of shrimp" out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconsciousness. members
