For the record...mine ended up being "Chain-smoking, interpretive dancer with an intense fear of butterflies".
I think a parasite tv show is already in the works with Tilda Swindon on HBOStill gotta recommend Burning. It's my favorite film from 2018, and one of my favorites of the decade. Slow burning (sorry), but completely enthralling. It also tackles class issues in a much different way than Parasite, but the parallels between the two in terms of similarity are kinda there. It's not as fun as Parasite is, but both deal with some aspects of South Korean culture, both involve main characters of different class standings, and both shift genres leading to satisfying and unexpected endings.
I have also seen Oldboy but never got around to the others in that series. I remember being kinda obsessed with it in high school though. Never saw the American remake, and I don't think I'm missing anything there. Oh, how much you wanna bet though that Parasite winds up getting an American remake at some point?
Not shocked. I am fully aware of how pretentious this sounds, but I don't think a lot of Americans "get"
Östlund's sense of humor because it's so Swedish. Most of the reviews of The Square really proved that to me. Will Ferrell's humor is so quintessentially American, not that I dislike him at all (I grew up with his movies) it just seems like a massive mismatch. That's sort of what bothers me about most American remakes, they just seek to aggressively normalize the film into our culture rather than celebrating what works across the cultures.
Bong is also attached to that project, so i'm more optimistic about it than others.I think a parasite tv show is already in the works with Tilda Swindon on HBO

Unpopular opinion I think, but I also really like La La Land. Didn't care much for it the first time I saw it, but since then it's only grown on me. Now I really love it. It has problems, I suppose, but the feeling of it, and the emotion just works for me. I’m shocked how much I love it after being pretty disappointed with it initially.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.
Right!? It is insightful and as one would expect from a WA book aesthetically beautifully put together.Thanks to this thread cause I’m really enjoying this book

also I feel maybe Fantastic Mr. Fox deserves more recognition from me. Picking up the criterion blu ray now.
