Oldboy

I heard that it's making hit, not so big though, in UK. Director Park, Chan-wook is one of the most brilliant new generation directors.

Tarantino < Park

Also, Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance by the same director is uber-awesome. The music is fucking awesome! JohnZorn-ish.

MUST-SEEEEEEEEEEE

Oldboy was totally awesome, though the plot was a bit ludicrous. Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance was considerably less good, but decent overall. I really hope Oldboy gets a nice DVD release in North America at some point.

I hold up Mr. Vengeance at uber-awesome because of its ending scene.

either you're underesteeming tarantino or I gotta see this film. or both.

I don't understand what you're saying, LITERALLY. I'm not acquainted with "either~ or~" usage, sorry. I don't underesteem Tarantino(I have Reservoir Dogs DVD, the only DVD I own) but Park is simply the best.

i meant that one possibility is that you are not considering tarantino as awesome as he is, and the other is that i need to see the film.

if you're claiming the first isn't true, then i really do need to see this film.

Oldboy I liked a lot. The only Tarantino movie I can stand is Reservoir Dogs, though.

this board is full of psychotics with questionable taste in films!!

 

[Helm]

And you infer this from that I don't like Jackie Brown?

 

[xfer]

subordinately, yes. thinking mostly about Pulp Fiction, though.

 

[mindspell]

Two words: Kill Bill.

Reaction: Awesome!

 

[inkybmistro]

i haven't seen jackie brown, but i thought kill bill was the weakest tarantino flick.

 

[mindspell]

Kill Bill is pure entertainment joy.

 

[inkybmistro]

not that it was bad, i just didn't LOVE it.

 

[xfer]

kill bill is darn good.
