Thanks very much for your comments. It looks like I've got a good haul coming my way. Aside from A Bittersweet Life and I Saw the Devil, (which I already discussed), and The Sweet Sex and Love (which is a re-buy for me b/c my current DVD crapped out), the rest are all blind buys. But I read...

I've actually seen both of these. I mentioned before that I thought A Bittersweet Life was "just ok" but I'm a sucker for Korean SE DVDs with special features, and I liked it enough for a re-watch. I rated I Saw the Devil higher (4/5), which is not quite "masterpiece" territory, but pretty...

Yeah, I'll be getting very little sleep the next couple of weeks. I'm really weird about the Olympics. For four years I have no interest in winter sports. NONE. I'm a huge sports fan when it comes to football and baseball (and, to a lesser extent, basketball), but I'd rather gargle shards of...

I placed my semi-annual DVD order today. Between Amazon, DeepDiscount, and YesAsia, I have the following Asian DVDs on the way: Bittersweet Life, A Cold Eyes Dance With The Wind Girl at My Door, A Going Out Hard Day, A Handmaiden, The Han Gong-ju House of the Disappeared I Saw the Devil Love...

I need to watch Crush and Blush again. I've got it sitting on my shelf. I recall being disappointed and did not rate it highly. But that was March 2009. Perhaps time and a re-watch will give me a different perspective. I thought Woman in the Dunes was very very good.

It'll be about a week before I actually place this order, but YesAsia shipping is pretty quick, so I expect I'll get the Quiet Dream DVD the week of Feb 20, and I'll watch it first thing. Unless it goes on backorder or something. I've seen A Bittersweet Life and gave it a 3/5 rating, which...

Ok, as I stated in the "Recently Seen" thread, I'm about to place another YesAsia order. A Quiet Dream, M, and A Bittersweet Life are in the hopper. I can choose one of the following Korean movies for free. I welcome your opinions! The Youth (2014) (DVD) (Hong Kong Version) (Give-away...

Don't be nervous. :) I've ordered literally hundreds of Asian DVDs on blind buys, from various importers. It's second nature to me by now. True, I try to hedge my bets by reading reviews on Darcy's site and from recommendations here and elsewhere, so my track record is pretty good. I can...

A Blind River (DVD) (Korea Version) DVD Region All I just ordered this from eBay. Seller is "zzdvd" $15 plus $3 shipping. I believe it's coming from overseas, so might be a couple of weeks. Might be a bootleg (although stated "Brand New: An item that has never been opened or removed from...

I watched this a few years ago upon the recommendation on another message board (it's one guy's favorite film and he does go on and on about it), and I agree it is very very funny. I really need to pick up the DVD. "Keep back, keep back! The entire sink's gone rotten!"

Thanks for that video clip. Interesting. Ellison is a world class talent and (though it doesn't come across in that video), quite the egotistical prick. He'd be the first to agree that he's a grade-A asshole. But like I said, a great talent. I guess the same could be said of Cameron LOL. I...

I thought Psycho II was underrated and actually very good. Well plotted and well acted. Kept you guessing and kept you jumping. You feel sortof bad for Norman, poor fellow, but enjoy his re-descent into madness. Some good humor as well. Plus, Meg Tilly was awfully cute in this. A shame she...

I like most all of James Cameron's films. He really is talented. I'm not sure I understand why he dissed Wonder Woman (which I have not seen) because the lead actress is attractive. Seems a bit odd for a man who cast the beautiful Kate Winslet in Titanic. If he doesn't think directors should...

Marilyn Monroe died before I was born, but I have seen a few of her movies and of course her Playboy spread. In my opinion, there has never been a sexier starlet. She embodies everything that constitutes female sexuality and attraction. So much more than the plastic surgeon stick figure...

This week--rewatches of Scream and Scream 2, with all DVD commentaries and bonus features. Also a first watch of All Quiet on the Western Front (1930).

On IMDb, I would comment in a particular movie's comments section from time to time, but the only dedicated board I followed was the Asian Cinema discussion. I had a lot to offer, and learned a lot also. I've been an active member of the Asian film board here since the get-go.

98% of my posts are in the Asian film subforum. As long as this place is active, I'll continue to post there.

Re Kill Bill: Yes, the scene I was referencing (little girl hiding under the bed watching her parents get killed, ala @sitenoise's example) was absolutely in the animated part of the movie. It was the backstory of O-Ren Ishii. I even seem to remember her coming face to face with one of her...

Tarantino did it in the animated portion of Kill Bill. Gun and samurai sword were used, to great effect.

I can forgive a little TAP* in a movie, as long as it comes with SAK**. * **
