Did I say rip off?

Ah I meant homage...homage of course!

In all honesty though rip off was the wrong word.

Not only that, but they just knocked a couple bucks off NBNT.

Maybe you can ask them for a price adjust, CT.

Looks like I'll be picking up Fun Movie and something else with that $5 off $25 coupon. Thanks Tony.

What about that Kubi?

And looks like I will be enjoying Friend....though hopefully they will switch to the Ultimate Edition of Friend.

I have emailed then about 3 times...they have me on their target list now!

I wouldn't recommend it unless you can withstand desperate humor, with unattractive characters screaming at each other non-stop. I'd pass, there's so much more out there that earns your money.

Wow.

Thanks Tony but I couldn't do that without feeling guilty.

I apperciate it immensely and that just cements in my mind what a good guy you are but my conscious has a funny way of laying it on me when I receive gifts. Don't ask me why.

But let it be known Tony that you are the man.

Funny thing I learned from life one day.

If some really wants to bless you(give you gifts) don't deny them. You are depriving them of a good deed done.

If you wish, Chris. But really, don't worry about returing the favor at all.

Both of you, PM your addy and a cool Asian flick you want and I'll take care of the rest.

I plan to send a few Chewers gifts anyway, but I have their addy so it'll be more of a suprise.

And that I can understand as well. It is so true that people get caught up in the holidays for the wrong reasons. Tony is demonstrating though the right reason. So I am going to let him do it for his pleasure and wel....mine too I guess wink

And if anything I can say he is getting me a gift for my 21st B Day since that is on the 31st.

Don't worry I am not going to forget it though. No sir!

Hey Khitch which Asian director do you think we should keep an eye on for further projects?

I think the director of Die Bad and NBNT really has something going escpecially considering his ophmore effort has gotten pretty good marks (NBNT is his sophmore effort right?)
Reply
post #439 of 749
12/3/02 at 5:24pm
<strong>Ryu Seung Wan</strong> (director of Die Bad and NBNT) is definitely one to keep an eye out for. I listed him recently in the top action directors thread.

His next project is <strong>Maruchi Arachi</strong>, which takes its title from a popular Korean anime from the 70's. It promises to be his most ambitious project to date, another venture into changing the face of martial arts and sfx-enhanced action flicks. Think Volcano High/Die Bad set in a modern metropolis.

My best buddy's wife used to go out with him in junior high school. As you can imagine, he's not a huge fan of the man.

Other Korean directors I look out for is <strong>Park Chan Wook</strong>, who directed JSA and Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance. He's got talent to burn.

<strong>Kwak Kyung Taek</strong>, director of Friend and Champion, is another.

<strong>Jang Jin</strong> (The Spy, Guns & Talks) and <strong>Kim Sang Jin</strong> (Kick the Moon, Attack the Gas Station, Jail Breakers aka Special Amnesty) are both great at socio-political comedy and uniquely comic situations/characters.

<strong>Lee Chang Dong</strong>'s previous films Green Fish, Peppermint Candy and most recently, Oasis, all garnered critical kudos and film festival awards.

<strong>Kim Ki Duk</strong> (The Isle, Bad Guy, The Coast Guard) is one subversive mother. He's the Korean arthouse Miike.

I cringed a LOT more during <strong>The Isle</strong>'s shock scenes than any other in recent memory, including <strong>Audition</strong>'s.

I haven't seen <strong>Bad Guy</strong>, but according to my wife, it is pretty fucked up in terms of storyline and characterizations.

If you're really curious to check out The Isle, I bought mine for about $5 from DDDHouse. About the price of a theater matinee.

Never know, you might find it to your liking. Fair warning, though. Some of the graphic violence may be a bit hard to swallow (bad pun definitely intended) eek!

Alright what kind of violence is portrayed? Is it the sexual violence Miike is known for? Because it is that violence( and just extreme and graphic of nature aka torture) that turns me off from Miike. As much as I believe we should explore different forms of cinematic expression that kinda stuff just grosses me out.

That and that one scene from Van Wilder......I swear that is perhaps the first time I have ever gotten that close to throwing up when not watching someone on screen throwing up. Dude I'm getting naseaueated right now thinking about it.

The violence in the two scenes that everyone talks about is self-inflicted. And gnarly. It produced several walkouts (and one fainting, iirc) during film festival showings. These acts aren't so much shown, but the expressions on the actors' faces do 90% of the work. Haunting stuff. There are also couple acts of animal cruelty (shown) that would get the ASPCA to flip out like ninjas.
