Who can resist? Can't wait to see Old Boy and see what all the huzzah is about...

...beat you to it...there is always next time! and Chet Baker rules!!! ("almost blue")
I'll believe it when the trailer hits.
hi harry..I just wanted to thank you for introducing me to the films of chan woo park.On you recommendation i saw JSA and SYMPATHY FOR MR VENGEANCE and was blown away.I just saw OLDBOY last night for the first time and i still cant get it out of my head.Its the best film ive seen all year..thanks harry
wow..the site was amazing. The three segments are named Hatred (Park Chan Wook's sequence), Jealousy, and Greed. The main character (he's called "The Movie Director") has to ultimately choose who will live or die in 5 seconds. This should be really good. I am a huge fan of Park Chan Wook, but I think that the normal American moviegoer will be turned off by his use of violence (I'm not). But he uses violence to say some very interesting things about human nature. The actor who plays the terrorist is an amazing actor (Im Won Hee) and he plays characters who are teetering on the edge of madness extremely well. He was a standout in SILMIDO.
Because his FATHER IS THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY!!!!!
I am not familiar with the "Director" character, but the father or husband role is played by the lead actor from JSA (who is BIG in Korea) and the female lead actress is the same from OLDBOY (discovered by Park). This trailer is pretty gruesome -- along the lines of ISLE and AUDITION (maybe worse).
(Lee)who are you? (Lim)Action! ..and cut. (Lee)No!! I said I'll do it! (Lim)Try to kill that child. (Lee)an extra.. (Lim)If I tell you that I'll let your lady on condition that you would kill a person right here, could you do that? (subtitle)-someon has to die- (Gang)Kill him! kill him!! (Lim)7 seconds..6 seconds..5 seconds... (Gang)kill him!!! (Lim)4 seconds.. (Lee)no!!!!! (Lim)Time is flying, huh?? (subtitle) -in August 2004- -The monster inside of me awakes-
...not Chan-Wook Park!
..i'll let your lady <go> on condition..
Sexiest tomboy beanpole caught in strings having her fingers chopped off. Dammit I hate stereotypes, now people are gonna think all Koreans movies are like this.........

The trailer was good, but that fucking MUSIC...
Is this the theme of recent "disturbing" films sweeping across the world? HOW LAME IS THAT?
