I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY KNOW THIS

BUT THERE IS THIS KOREAN FILM ABOUT A MAN

AND IT IS CALLED OLDBOY

AND IF YOU ARE HUMAN AND HAVE EYES, THIS WILL BE YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME.


ABSOLUTELY.

I love Gary Oldboy. He's one of my favourite actors. I really liked him in The Sixth Element.

Funnily enough, I watched Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance yesterday. It is almost as gut-wrenching and almost as good as Oldboy so you should watch it if you liked Oldboy by which I mean if you are a person.

Just snatched this. Should I just watch it on a laptop or go try and convince everyone I know to watch it with me?

They might hate you. It's a bit of a cointoss.

Sabrina thought it was meh. But she is not human, but instead some sort of pterodactyl.

Do not show art to a pterodactyl.

This is a really good movie, in a crazy way. I've watched it twice, loved it both of them.

Cutting out his tongue was a silly idea though.

Movie was fantastic. Possibly one of the best I've seen. And yeah, I think most of my friends would have thrown up or started hating me if they saw it.

Geti: No spoilers, please.

I felt it was too long. Getting to the climax + the climax itself was pretty exhausting, then the aftermath made me feel like I was dragging myself across the finish line after collapsing when Oh Dae-Su cut his tongue.

Everything else was great, especially the side-scrolling hammer fight scene.
