Finally got to watch Oldboy today

[thebitterguy]

Man. That's not a happy film. The end just takes an otherwise standard revenge flick and stabs you with it several times.

Yeah.

By the end I just felt kind of dirty having watched it.

It's a similar sensation to when I watched SE7EN for the first time.

The only time, actually.

Man, i'm sorry i haven't seen this yet.

[thebitterguy]

I think you'll find it quite interesting when you do.

This is my favorite film of the past ten years, hands down.

That is a great review. I really enjoy reading your stuff.

[sixteenbynine.livejournal.com]

Thank you :D I do the best I can.

Great film. Not perfect, a bit missold and overhyped, but still a great film.

[thebitterguy]

Creepy, if nothing else, on myriad levels. The last 20 minutes or so may not let me sleep tonight.

Did you get to send out the international DVDs yet?

[thetathx1138.livejournal.com]

??? Did you ever send me your address? I don't see it in my file.

It's fairly likely I didn't.

[thetathx1138.livejournal.com]

Well, send it to me, laddie! I'll git you a disc, nivir fear!

The entire movie's done in bad Scottish accents, I'm just getting you used to it.

[thebitterguy]

Heh. I have a porn movie in bad scottish accents. I can't watch the Simpsons without smirking impolitely whenever groundskeeper Willie says anything.
