Dick Trauma posted:I thought it was good, despite devoting alot of screen time to horrendous hatchet and knife combat. If Korea is anything like Korean movies everyone must have hepatitis by now from the lakes of blood. Sadly it's not. Sharp suited kung fu vendettas are vastly over represented in Korean cinema, compared to the number of instances you happen upon on the street. I recommend A Bittersweet Life though. If you accept the twist, it's a very fun movie. Twist: It's all a day dream.

You should remove that spoiler from your post because it's completely wrong and it might put someone off from seeing it. The dream that is being referred to is the one he has for a life outside of the gang. That is why it shows a scene from the beginning of the movie where he is shadow boxing his reflection while day dreaming. The proverb quoted is about how sad the monk is because he realises that his dream can never come true and the film is about how he ultimately couldn't escape from his life and live happily ever after with the girl. If it was a dream don't you think it would of had a happy ending instead of ending with him riddled with bullets? Mister Chief fucked around with this message at 05:46 on Apr 11, 2013 |

Dick Trauma posted:When it comes to blade violence this puts them all to shame. All of them. It's like they don't even know what guns are in Korea. You should check out The Man from Nowhere. It's like a Korean Taken for grown ups, and has probably the best knife fight scene ever. Also, you bastards should post in the South Korean Movie Megathread sometime! It needs more activity. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3525253&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1

There is nothing about any of these that I enjoy. At worst they're diagrams of spoilers. At best they're just lovely use of symbols present throughout the work.

I go to pub trivia once a week and last week they had a category where you had to identify the movie based on minimalist posters (where the title of the movie had been photoshopped out). This one INFURIATED me (needless to say I didn't get it): they're Reese's Pieces

Mister Chief posted:You (and everyone else) should watch A Bittersweet Life, starring Storm Shadow and from the director of The Last Stand. That may not sound so hot but you have to trust me on this, it's incredible. I watched this last night and I have to say that it was pretty good. I loved the image of the old woman silently mopping up blood as Sun-woo swayed suspended over her and the line when the grave diggers realize that Sun-woo has escaped and their operation is hosed.

Based on that diagram, I'd be taking the blue pill (which appears to enhance to recreation, food and sex) rather than that red pill which turns you into a giant, insane cockroach baby, who becomes violent and is eventually shot to death.

So things that are not movie posters, but are meant to look like them, are cool to post here, right? Because Steam just showed me this masterpiece of human achievement.  These guys may not have latched onto the actual definition of 80's sci-fi, but I don't want anyone to tell them that.

This is good because usually video game April fools consists of 'awesome poo poo that will never be made'. At least this time they have the balls to actually see it through.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:Calling it now, this is going to be the new "zombies" in videogames. It looks like making wacky spinoff DLC that's completely different in tone from the main game is already becoming A Thing. Red Dead Revolver had the one where they added zombies, Saints Row 3 was making DLC where you fight aliens and have superpowers that they're desperately trying to make into its own game now that THQ is bankrupt, and now Far Cry 3 is doing anachronistic GI Joe Cyberpunk.
