Already feel for Obaid-Chinoy. 2 time Emmy & Oscar winner but for documentaries and did 2 Ms.Marvel episodes. What a weird track record to score a giant franchise with.
Rooting for her, but suspect this might be cancelled.

Saw God's Creatures yesterday as well. Odd accent from Mescal.
Took a massive nosebleed when I blew my nose during it and a staff member for sure saw me hands covered in blood wtf

Watched Oldboy (original) last night. Kind of impossible to not know the big twist at this point but the film still surprised me with how dark it was even knowing what I did. Really liked it though, the lad playing Dae-su was great. Fair few scenes felt a bit... manga-ish so I wasn't too surprised to read it was based on one afterwards.
Didn't really like the ending but the rest of it was fucking great.

The "twist" is an extended, graphic sex scene of a father fucking his own daughter. That movie just isn't worth it for me

Choi Minsuk is maybe the best Korean actor alongside Song Kangho.
If you haven’t seen it, then go watch I Saw the Devil.
Reminds me I start start Big Bet on Disney+
Oldboy is decent, visuals and music are sensational but the rest is whatever. I've always preferred Lady Vengeance and especially Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance more.
By Shanks D Zoro Go To PostIf you haven’t seen it, then go watch I Saw the Devil.Similar situation with Oldboy for me here - visuals and music are incredible, but it's an even more fucked up film than Oldboy. Just 2.5 hours of gore porn and misery. Didn't really like it at all. Ditto with stuff like The Chaser... just not my thing.

Same.

By reilo Go To PostWhich is the one where they show the achilles being slit? Cause I can never rewatch because of thatI Saw the Devil
By turkey bacon Go To PostI Saw the DevilYou sure? I don't think I ever saw that. I think it's Lady Vengeance lol
By reilo Go To PostWhich is the one where they show the achilles being slit? Cause I can never rewatch because of thatThat’s the end of Mr Vengeance IIRC. The scene in the river when Song’s character confronts the blue haired dude for killing his daughter
How have you found the reaction to the Super Mario Bros. Movie now that other people have finally seen it?People don't laugh at movies in Japan?? So what, everyone's just sitting in the seat like Jimmy Fallon live on TV trying not to giggle??
Koji Kondo: Well, everyone laughed at the right times. They had the right reactions with the right moments of the film that we were hoping for. I saw a lot of children who seemed to be enjoying the movie as well, so it was fantastic!
Shigeru Miyamoto: So, in Japan, this obviously hasn’t aired yet, and so we’ve only been able to show it for people who are involved. Just the way that Japanese culture is, people don’t laugh or emote very much during the movie if it’s enjoyable. You know, they’ll tell us it was very funny and enjoyable afterward. So it was the first time that we were able to see the movie with an audience in the States, and it was great to be able to hear some of the emotion that was coming out of it.
What the fuck
Tale of Two Sisters, Memories of Murder, Mother, Burning, Train to Busan(best zombie movie ever) and The Handmaiden are great watches
By Not Go To PostThe "twist" is an extended, graphic sex scene of a father fucking his own daughter. That movie just isn't worth it for meBeen a minute since I've seen it but I don't remember that happening. The trust is the reveal itself.
By s y Go To PostBeen a minute since I've seen it but I don't remember that happening. The trust is the reveal itself.Doesn't work without that scene
The particular scene Not is referencing is only there to make the viewer feel repulsed when the twist happens, which IMO is kind of a cheap trick. I think the twist works just as effectively without it. I’m generally of the opinion that sex scenes are pretty pointless in the majority of films, though..
Edit: forgot it’s the same director lol
By Kuma Go To PostThe HandmaidenLike this one, for example ^. Great film but the gratuitous male-gazey vibe of the sex scenes, particularly the one at the very end are so bad. Could have done without them.
Edit: forgot it’s the same director lol
By Perfect Blue Go To PostEdit: forgot it’s the same director lollol I was like, yeah see? Park must be stopped.
I love the handmaiden tho. especially since the whole movie is a critique on the male gaze
cake and eating it too etc
Looking like a 200m+ domestic 5 day (150m+ 3 day). might beat transformers 2 for best of all time. that's nuts

I would add anything that has Lee Byunghun, Choi Minksik, and Song Kangho.
Pretty much covers the best Korean films since they went bigger in scale with Shiri in 99, and a lot of the time they star in films together.
Fuck, might have a Korean movie day.
A Bittersweet Life is sensational IMO
one of my fav filmmakers in general is Hong Sangsoo but he makes film very different than the ones mentioned here so YMMV if you dig it

Did you like his lastest movie(Decision to Leave)?

By inky Go To Postman mentions uncharted but not tomb raiderI only include decent franchises.
watched scream 6, and a bit surprised to see so much hate for it here. wasnt feeling it the first 20 min or so, but kept getting better and better.
5 was great, and 6 never gets that good. but still pretty good like. but new york just doesnt work great for scream though

Shame it's so overlooked.
