Guns are boring.
Let's talk about movies instead!

1)You asked a highly loaded question based on a mountain of presuppositions to an audience that almost uniformly stands in opposition to those whom you supposedly were asking the question. You then cheered the type of answer that it absolutely appears you were seeking because it is pretty much the only type of answer you’re going to get here. So from the perspective of someone who is deeply involved in gun culture, in no way does your question appear to be from a place of honest inquiry.Uhh.. what? What a rude fucking edit. I asked a genuine question and then cheered a person who responded. What the fuck is your problem?
I need to check it out; it's a name that's floated around since Parasite's win.Yep, agreed.
TBH as much as I love it, I'm also getting a bit sick of all the talk around the non-issue of Parasite's subtitles and I'm thinking of shining a light on some other Korean films. Has anyone on here seen My Sassy Girl? Took me years to catch it but finally saw it a few weeks ago. Pretty great if you're pre-disposed to be a sucker for clever 00s rom-coms.
Also, although they are often recommended in the past, so not news to many, the Vengeance trilogy by the same director, Chan-wook Park, is also great. Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Oldboy, and Lady VengeanceI need to check it out; it's a name that's floated around since Parasite's win.
In general, it's been great seeing people bring up more South Korean films they enjoy, though it's a little silly when the only suggestions they can dredge up are more Bong films (which are all great, but it may be worth sampling the full breadth of the nation's cinema).
If I had to put up a suggestion of a South Korean film to check out, I'd say peep The Handmaiden; it's fire.

I'd add Train to Busan
Oh, how much you wanna bet though that Parasite winds up getting an American remake at some point?
As far as I know, that Force Majeure remake takes all of what was good out of it, which seems about right for an American remake of an already good film.Ugh. I hope the flop of the American Oldboy taught Hollywood a lesson on what they can and can’t adapt from Korean. AFAIK the only moderately successful American remake of a Korean film has been The Lake House which wasn’t a smashing success itself. I guess I’m being optimistic though, because who the hell thought it would be a good idea to remake Turist / Force Majure with Will Ferrell?
We watched La La Land with the kids tonight. I forgot how much I liked that movie when it came out. Moonlight was great too and very deserving but part of me wishes La La Land won the best picture that year.
