<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong><em>It’s a modern retelling of the old “I killed your master!” revenge tale, and it tells it in a bold, brutally efficient way.</em></strong></p>
<p>Review by: MiamiMovieCritic</p>
<p>Tell me if you’ve heard this one before: Mobster crosses paths with young kid. Kid grows up and idolizes mobster – dresses like him, even talks like him. Their fates become inextricably entwined.</p>
<p>Sounds like A BRONX TALE, doesn’t it? It also summarizes the plot of Eric Won’s KEN, which is more of an action picture than Robert De Niro’s directorial debut. It’s a film that values action and movement over narrative. Gangsters talk monotonously about double-crosses and business deals gone awry. Everything they say is utterly inconsequential. The film is more concerned with elemental things like honor and revenge. It’s a modern retelling of the old “I killed your master!” revenge tale, and it tells it in a bold, brutally efficient way.</p>
<p>The kid is named Ken. A homeless boy with fists of fury, Ken gets into a fight one day. This scene made me wonder: Do emo kids have trouble winning fights with all that hair in their eyes? The answer is yes, because Ken nearly gets knifed. A gangster named Jack saves him at the last second and takes him under his wing. I love the transition that comes after this scene. There’s no title card telling us that 20 years have passed. Instead, Won uses cinematic language to move the story along and show how the characters have progressed.</p>
<p>“Cinematic language” is the movie’s greatest strength. Won has a great sense of screen space and atmosphere, especially in the action scenes. The twist at the end really took me by surprise. I’m not sure it’s completely satisfying on a dramatic level, but it has some of the same out-of-nowhere nastiness as Park Chan-Wook’s brilliant OLDBOY.</p>

<description><![CDATA[I watched &#8216;Oldboy&#8216; in 2006 and pegged it a good movie, but it wasn&#8217;t until I watch]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I watched &#8216;<b>Oldboy</b>&#8216; in 2006 and pegged it a good movie, but it wasn&#8217;t until I watched it a second time that it was so noticeably great.  I tried to describe it to a friend and couldn&#8217;t peg it as a thriller or a horror movie.  That is why it is so successful &#8212; because it merges both so effectively.</p>
<p>Discussion and <b>severe spoilers</b> after the jump.  Don&#8217;t read if you haven&#8217;t seen the film or it will ruin the whole experience.</p>
<p><!--more-->The decade is coming to an end.  The climax of this film, which takes place in Lee Woo-jin&#8217;s penthouse apartment, is in the running for a best scene in that time period.  The scene itself is over twenty minutes and is so masterfully paced.  We have a fight, sure, and as Woo-jin is explaining himself to Oh Dae-su (and us), he equips himself in a classy suit which, it seems, makes him feel superior to everyone else, like he is above them morally and they cannot possibly understand the love he had for his sister.</p>
<p>Dae-su cuts off his tongue and barks like a bitch on the floor, and there is dark comedy here.  Yet, it is hard to laugh because the situation is so morbid and demented and, well, gross.</p>
<p>The moment that makes the scene and the film, though, is when Woo-jin tosses Dae-su the remote to stop his pacemaker.  This was greatly set up earlier in the film, and both us and Dae-su think it will work &#8212; that Woo-jin will just fall over, Kill Bill-style.  We are damn <i>anxious</i> for Woo-jin to keel over.  The button is pressed, and he does not fall, but over the loudspeaker is the recording of Dae-su and Mi-do making love.  This is possibly the cruelest revenge ploy ever.  And then Woo-jin takes his own life in the elevator, which, at this point, seems inconsequential, to be honest.</p>
<p>And to critique, I could have also done without the last scenes where we revisit hypnosis and all that jazz.  But the film to begin with, and up to the climax, is so tense and so scary that this is truly a fantastic film.</p>

<p>Para alegría de muchos (entre los que me incluyo).</p>
<p><a href="http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1531/oldboyspielberg440x156.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1531/oldboyspielberg440x156.jpg" alt="" width="440" height="156" /></a></p>
<p>Al parecer las negociaciones que llevaban <strong>Dreamwoks </strong>y <strong>Mandate </strong>(la productora coreana encargada de dar vida a la película original) con la editora del manga japonés no han terminado de cuajar, por lo que el estudio al que pertenece <strong>Spielberg </strong>abandona el proyecto.</p>
<p>En principio, la idea de <strong>Spielberg </strong>era rodar (con <strong>Will Smith</strong> de protagonista) una adaptación más fiel al manga (obra de <strong>Garon Tsuchiya</strong> y <strong>Nobuaki Minegishi</strong>), de lo que era la película coreana del gran <strong>Park Chan Wook</strong>.</p>
<p>Y ahora que el director ya no tiene entre manos este proyecto, a ver si se mete de lleno en los siguientes.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Konačno iz Hollywooda dolazi jedna dobra vijest koja se tiče remakea. Projekt koji je užasnuo fanove južnokorejskog kult-filma <em>Oldboy</em> &#8211; holivudski remake u kome bi glavnog junaka tumačio Will Smith, a režiju potpisao Steven Spielberg <a href="http://www.latinoreview.com/news/exclusive-will-smith-steven-spielberg-s-old-boy-dead-8502" target="_blank">je &#8220;mrtav&#8221;</a>.</p>
<p>Pomisao da kanski pobjednik poznat po &#8220;žestokim&#8221; i nezaboravnim scenama postane oličenje holivudske sentimentalne &#8220;ljige&#8221; i jeftinog trubljenja o obiteljskim vrijednostima &#8211; kombinacija Willa Smitha i Stevena Spielberga jednostavno ne može biti ništa drugo &#8211; u najmanju ruku nije bila ohrabrujuća. A izgleda da Smith na temelju nesreće zvane <em>Divlji zapad</em> &#8211; spektakularno promašene verzije popularne TV-serije iz 1960-ih &#8211; nije naučio da mu remakeovi jednostavno ne idu. Ili možda na kraju ipak jest?</p>
<p>Srećom, fanove filma je, po svemu sudeći, spasio niz neraščišćenih računa između južnokorejskih filmaša i autora originalne japanske mange po kojoj je Oldboy snimljen. Izgleda da se nisu mogli dogovoriti tko bi holivudskom studiju Dreamworks trebao prodati autorska prava.</p>
<p><em>Oldboyu</em>, inače, ovo ne bi trebao biti prvi remake. 2006. je u Indiji snimljen <em>Zinda</em>, film koji nije službeni remake, ali koji je &#8220;prilično sličan&#8221; i koji je bio predmetom špekulacija o tužbi.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><em>La portada del manga </em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Para aquellos que estaban en contra de que se hiciera el remake de la película de<em><strong> Chan-Wook Park</strong></em>, pueden estar tranquilos: no se va a hacer. <a href="http://www.latinoreview.com/news/exclusive-will-smith-steven-spielberg-s-old-boy-dead-8502" target="_blank">Latino Review</a> nos cuenta de que el remake de “<em><strong>OldBoy</strong></em>” está muerto.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">Dreamworks estaba en el proceso de obtener los derechos del manga hecho por Nobuaki Minegishi y Garon Tsuchiya. La cinta se iba a basar en el manga y no en la película que salió hace unos años, pero todo indica de que Dreamworks y Mandate no se pusieron de acuerdo y con esto el proyecto se derrumbó.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">Los detalles acerca de la cancelación de esta cinta no están al 100% pero no importa ya que no se va a hacer. Sin embargo, si algo saliera a la luz, lo pondremos de volada.</p>

<description><![CDATA[O Latino Review publicou uma excelente notícia, o remake norte-americano de Oldboy não deve sair do ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3305" title="oldboy" src="http://tvcinemaemusica.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/oldboy.jpg" alt="oldboy" width="324" height="217" />O <a href="http://latinoreview.com" target="_blank">Latino Review</a> publicou uma excelente notícia, o remake norte-americano de <strong>Oldboy </strong>não deve sair do papel. O motivo é que a editora que publicou o mangá original e que deu origem ao filme, a <strong>Futabasha</strong>, está processando a produtora original do filme, a<strong> Show West</strong>, que não tinha o direito de negociar o remake para Hollywood. Para piorar ainda mais a situação, a produtora Show East declarou falência recentemente.</p>
<p>Por causa desses problemas judiciais, a <strong>DreamWorks</strong> de <strong>Steven Spielberg</strong> desistiu do projeto e o ator <strong>Will Smith</strong>, que seria o protagonista, também está fora do remake. O remake ainda pode acontecer em outro estúdio, isso se esse problema na justiça for resolvido.</p>
<p>A melhor notícia da semana, Oldboy é um grande filme, com uma excelente trama e com grandes cenas de ação, Não acredito que nenhum estúdio de Hollywood, tenha coragem de fazer um filme tão violento quanto o original e para fazer um remake com censura de 13 anos é melhor não fazer.</p>

<description><![CDATA[E está olhando por nós. Depois de tantas notícias ruins que circulam mundo afora nos últimos tempos,]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2971" title="old_boy" src="http://blogfeijoadanacional.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/old_boy.jpg" alt="old_boy" width="450" height="226" /></strong></p>
<p><strong>E está olhando por nós.</strong></p>
<p>Depois de tantas notícias ruins que circulam mundo afora nos últimos tempos, além da iminência de uma morte horrível e do fim da raça humana em 2012. <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">Não que ele precise, mas</span> Finalmente o <em>grande homem lá de cima</em> deu a entender que ainda (não só se preocupa como) está trabalhando em prol da nossa vida. A prova de tal poder? <strong>OldBoy</strong>, filme que seria feito pela parceria <strong>“Steven Spilberg and Will Smith” </strong>foi cancelado. Está morto, já era, no limbo, no saco, não se fala mais nisso.</p>
<p>Para quem andava desinformado a respeito das empreitadas no setor remake de Hollywood, a um tempo, havia sido anunciado uma versão americana de <strong>OldBoy</strong>, dirigida por <strong>Steven Spielberg </strong>e protagonizada por <strong>Will Smith</strong>. Você não leu errado, não está bêbado e muito menos louco. <strong>OldBoy seria protagonizado por Will Smith&#8230;</strong><em> </em>hahahahahahahahaha!!!</p>
<p>Mas o que parecia trevas começou a virar luz, quando (em junho desde ano) surgiu o boato de que o filme poderia ser cancelado pela falta do aval da editora responsável pelo mangá (ainda tem gente boa neste mundo). Bom, depois de tanta conversa jogada no ar e especulação, para alegria da nação que já assistiu ao filme ou pelo menos sabe o que é OldBoy, o <em><a href="http://www.latinoreview.com/news/exclusive-will-smith-steven-spielberg-s-old-boy-dead-8502">LatinoReview</a></em> lançou que a <em>DreamWorks</em> largou mão do projeto e enterrou a idéia. Ou seja, pelo menos nesse ninguém caga, <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">por enquanto&#8230;</span></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2972" title="oldboy" src="http://blogfeijoadanacional.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/oldboy1.jpg" alt="oldboy" width="450" height="301" /></p>
<p>Para quem nunca ouviu falar de <strong>OldBoy</strong>, a produção sul coreana, é baseada em um mangá de mesmo nome (que ninguém conhecia antes do filme), e que conta a história de <strong>Oh Dae-su</strong> que é sequestrado e trancado em uma prisão particular, sem que ninguém que lhe diga o motivo. 15 anos depois Dae-su é liberto (sem explicação também) e começa aquilo que você sozinho é capaz de imaginar, vingança. Com ultra-violência, poesia, conflito com tabus sexuais e uma cena de luta de primeira, que lembra um jogo de videogame daqueles 2D, o filme é dirigido por <strong>Chan-wook Park</strong> e é uma pedida original do cinema asiático.</p>

<p>Only a couple years after my first viewing of <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Oldboy</span>, news broke that Spielberg and Will Smith were collaborating on a remake. I think everyone, everywhere was unhappy about the news. It turns out Dreamworks (production company owned by Spielberg) was unable to secure the right from Mandate (the company responsible for the manga that Oldboy is based on). Ergo&#8230;no Oldboy remake!</p>
<p>Why can&#8217;t all Tuesdays start with such excellent news?</p>

<p>this is our first of many posts. i (shawn) of oldboy am going to bring you along on our journey. for those who have been here from the start&#8230;thank you with all my heart. to anyone new, welcome.</p>
<p>this band is all about playing good songs to good people and having it be a memorable night for everyone. no matter what happens, people never forget an oldboy show. not for anything crazy, but they seem to be very individual, having an identity of thier own.</p>
<p>right now we are rebuilding. we are trying out a new drummer, kevin. we are about to play our first show out of this area and are in the middle of writing and revamping our sound. getting back to the basics of what we love about music. simple, and to the point. that doesn&#8217;t mean boring or basic. simple like a well assembled dish of food. and the right atmosphere to make you comfortable while enjoying it.</p>
<p>one of my good friends just lent out thier third floor to us so we can use it for our music. to write, to play, to record, to brainstorm, i believe it is going to push us in a really creative way.</p>
<p>thank you for stopping by.</p>

<p>I&#8217;ll say this for Lynch, he&#8217;s made a name for himself. And by that, I mean, he&#8217;s made his name a genre onto itself. Weird horror? Weird Americana? Esoterica existentialism? We could spend a decade defining it.</p>
<p>The other day I was actually talking with someone about cinema, about horror and sci fi directors, directors who step outside the norm a tad, and through the course of just bullshitting and casual riffing, I started comparing Lynch with Canada&#8217;s David Cronenberg. Another man who&#8217;s made his name into a genre all of it&#8217;s own. A man who&#8217;s every choice seems to be a weird one. And when he plays normal? It&#8217;s even weirder.</p>
<p>And I can think of no better example there than when he actually had a two episode acting stint in J. J. Abram&#8217;s <em>Alias</em>. Before that, he had several cameo roles in various movies, and weird ones too, of course, like <em>Jason X</em>, and <em>The Fly</em>, and Gus Van Sant&#8217;s <em>To Die For</em>.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5151" title="The David Cronenberg within." src="http://counterforce.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/the-david-cronenberg-within.jpg" alt="The David Cronenberg within." width="385" height="396" /></p>
<p>The difference between these two directors, the difference than I can easily glean for you now, is that they&#8217;re both weird, but that with Cronenberg, I think he just lets his interests in body modification or transformation or infections of both the physical and psychological kind just run away with him. I love that wikipedia actually uses the term &#8220;venereal horror&#8221; to describe his personal brand of cinema.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5146" title="Damn good cup of coffee." src="http://counterforce.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/damn-good-cup-of-coffee.jpg" alt="Damn good cup of coffee." width="300" height="300" /></p>
<p>But then there&#8217;s Lynch, who&#8217;s a weird guy, has weird tastes, likes to make weird art, and loves to cultivate his own weirdness. A lot of times, I think it&#8217;s just a part of his brand, his act, his personal style of show, but more times I get the impression of a man who walked off the reservation years ago, realized that he was leaving a certain kind of reality behind, probably smirked to himself, and kept going. His movies, his short films, his website and stunts are all just little polaroids that he shoots back to us from his journey.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5133" title="His hair looks like a flock of birds that would like to hang out with Salvador Dali." src="http://counterforce.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/his-hair-looks-like-a-flock-of-birds-that-would-like-to-hang-out-with-salvador-dali.jpg" alt="His hair looks like a flock of birds that would like to hang out with Salvador Dali." width="436" height="284" /></p>
<p>Plus, I&#8217;m sure that even Morrissey thinks that David Lynch spends too much time on his hair.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5134" title="This is not weird nor surreal enough for me." src="http://counterforce.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/this-is-not-weird-or-surreal-enough-for-me.jpg" alt="This is not weird nor surreal enough for me." width="457" height="317" /></p>
<p>I may be giving him too much credit there, but what&#8217;s the difference. Let&#8217;s talk about the major totems in his career&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5147" title="White Horse." src="http://counterforce.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/white-horse.jpg" alt="White Horse." width="478" height="324" /></p>
<p>Movies/TV shows of David Lynch&#8217;s that I have watched/enjoyed:</p>
<p>-<em>Dune</em>, the adaptation of the Frank Herbert &#8220;sci fi classic.&#8221;</p>
<p>-<em>Twin Peaks</em>, the TV show.</p>
<p>-<em>Blue Velvet</em>, or, well, most of it when I was a kid.</p>
<p>-<em>Mulholland Drive</em>, the failed TV that was resurrected into a film.</p>
<p>-About an hour and some change from <em>Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me</em>, the movie follow up/prequel/general ephemera to the television show.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5141" title="Welcome To Twin Peaks." src="http://counterforce.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/welcome-to-twin-peaks.jpg" alt="Welcome To Twin Peaks." width="407" height="351" /></p>
<p><em>Twin Peaks</em> the show was just 85 to 90% brilliant weird fun. A perfect television murder mystery before we were worried about semen stains and making lab work sexy meets the weirdness of small town America, and all of it recycled through David Lynch&#8217;s odd brain. There was a lot of elements to the show that were just weird for the sake of weirdness, but for the most part, I excuse it all because it never left the confines of the logic of the show. The logic of the show wasn&#8217;t necessarily easy to decipher, but once you get a legitimate idea of what&#8217;s going on with things like Bob, the arm, the doorknob, the talking backwards, the Black Lodge, and Laura Palmer in general, you just kind of get it. Also, one of the must frustratingly wonderful endings to a TV show ever.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5145" title="Watts and Harring." src="http://counterforce.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/watts-and-harring.jpg" alt="Watts and Harring." width="345" height="471" /></p>
<p>Its&#8217; the same for <em>Mulholland Drive</em>, which would&#8217;ve been murderously frustrating as a television show, but works perfectly as a film. It&#8217;s also hard to figure out <em>at first</em>, but give it some time, possibly a second viewing, and if needed, a friend to explain it to you, and you&#8217;ll get a tale of lost love and just brutal, puncturing sadness set against the glitz and flashy bizarrness of LA.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5148" title="This is the tantric sex scene in Dune, featuring Kyle MacLachlan, Captain Picard, and Sting." src="http://counterforce.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/this-is-the-tantric-sex-scene-in-dune-featuring-kyle-maclachlan-captain-picard-and-sting.jpg" alt="This is the tantric sex scene in Dune, featuring Kyle MacLachlan, Captain Picard, and Sting." width="490" height="320" /></p>
<p><em>Dune</em> is <em>Dune</em>. If you&#8217;ve seen it, you know what I&#8217;m talking about. If you enjoyed it, you were probably on a lot of drugs or just a really gross person. Or maybe you&#8217;re a hardcore Sting fan? I don&#8217;t hate the movie by any means, but I&#8217;ll happily say that the Sci Fi channel miniseries version of the book was vastly better.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5149" title="I get this a lot." src="http://counterforce.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/bob-and-earle.jpg" alt="I get this a lot." width="423" height="318" /></p>
<p>And now we delve into the darker recesses of me with the films of David Lynch that I&#8217;ve never seen:</p>
<p>-<em>Eraserhead</em>, his first film.</p>
<p>-<em>Wild At Heart</em>, which I really should&#8217;ve seen by now, at least for Nic Cage, if nothing else.</p>
<p>-<em>Lost Highway</em>, which had <a href="http://twitter.com/marcosparks/status/5437808357">a soundtrack that I loved, or kinda loved, back in the 90s</a>.</p>
<p>-<em>The Straight Story</em>, a fairly straightforward story of a real life man that just seems that much more creepy because it was done by Lynch.</p>
<p>-<em>Inland Empire</em>.</p>
<p>-And the rest of <em>Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me</em>.</p>
<p>Do you remember back when Bravo was a cable network that played real art, really culturally significant stuff? Classic movies and TV shows. Friday nights, I remember, would be foreign cinema and that&#8217;s where I&#8217;d see things like <em>All About My Mother</em> or <em>Run Lola Run</em> because, I guess I had no social life. I remember they used to play old Poirot movies all the time, mostly the Peter Ustinov ones, which were all pretty good.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5144" title="Lynch as Gordon Cole in Twin Peaks." src="http://counterforce.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/lynch-as-gordon-cole-in-twin-peaks.jpg" alt="Lynch as Gordon Cole in Twin Peaks." width="460" height="357" /></p>
<p>Anyway, the point of me asking that is one summer they started playing episodes of <em>Twin Peaks</em> during the weekdays. This is where I first latched onto the show, and I remember that they played something like two episodes back to back starting at 9 AM. Now, if you really consider the weirdness/juicy soap opera factors in that show, then 9 AM is a really insidious time to air the show, leaving you creeped out through the rest of your youthful summertime abandon during the day, but hey, whatever.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5138" title="James Hurley, you, sir, are no rock star." src="http://counterforce.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/james-hurley-you-sir-are-no-rock-star.jpg" alt="James Hurley, you, sir, are no rock star." width="470" height="340" /></p>
<p>But I loved the show. As I said, on one hand you had this bizarre police procedural gone crazy, and then on the other, you had a fantastical soap opera element as the show started to explore the facets of the various characters of the small town of Twin Peaks. And of course I was left hooked by the ending of the last episode. It was the ultimate cliffhanger, when your hero survives the trip to the Black Lodge that is so horrific that you can&#8217;t look away, only to discover that he may not be our hero after all&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5142" title="Bob and Cooper." src="http://counterforce.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/bob-and-cooper.jpg" alt="Bob and Cooper." width="400" height="289" /></p>
<p>Some actors that had an early start or appearance in their careers in <em>Twin Peaks</em>:</p>
<p><a href="http://counter-force.com/2009/07/24/youre-so-money-and-you-dont-even-know-it/">Heather Graham</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://counter-force.com/2009/02/03/marco-sparks-has-nothing-against-a-good-fuck-but-theres-danger-here/">Lara Flynn Boyle</a>.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5137" title="This is why I love you, Audrey Horne." src="http://counterforce.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/this-is-why-i-love-you-audrey-horne.jpg" alt="This is why I love you, Audrey Horne." width="370" height="528" /></p>
<p><a href="http://counterforce.tumblr.com/post/66838735/via-planettampon-oh-audrey">Sherilyn Fenn</a>.</p>
<p>Madchen Amick.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5135" title="Special Agent Dennis (or Denise) Bryson." src="http://counterforce.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/special-agent-dennis-or-denise-bryson.jpg" alt="Special Agent Dennis (or Denise) Bryson." width="447" height="356" /></p>
<p>And David Duchovny, in drag.</p>
<p>Anyway, so Bravo aired the follow up film, <em>Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me</em> a week or two after the syndicated run of the show ended and I was so excited to watch it, knowing that it&#8217;d handle some of what really happened to Laura Palmer, the teen whose murder initiated the show in general along with tackling a lot of the back story and featuring appearances by people like Keifer Sutherland, Chris Isaak, and David Bowie. Of course. These are perfectly Lynch-ian actors, much like Kyle MacLachlan doesn&#8217;t seem like a human being himself, just a caricature of a human drawn by David Lynch to snicker at.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5136" title="Twin Peaks" src="http://counterforce.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/fire-walk-with-me-and-then-scare-the-shit-out-of-me.jpg" alt="Twin Peaks" width="450" height="302" /></p>
<p>Anyway, I&#8217;ve seen more bits and pieces of the film here and there since then, but haven&#8217;t been able to good and proper finish watching since that night I first sat down to watch it (on TV, no less!) and encountered this scene&#8230;</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/yZE-A8kk7FE&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/yZE-A8kk7FE&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>&#8230;featuring &#8220;my mother&#8217;s sister&#8217;s girl.&#8221; Even as I embed that  youtube clip for you, I&#8217;m not watching it. I hope it&#8217;s the right one. I can&#8217;t handle it, man. You may look at it and think it&#8217;s tame and laugh at me. You&#8217;re probably right to. But watching it back then, something about it creeped me out past my then limits. It crawled inside my skin and started doing things and I had to leave the room and I haven&#8217;t come back to that particular metaphorical room since.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5139" title="Aaahhhhhhh!!" src="http://counterforce.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/aaahhhhhhh.jpg" alt="Aaahhhhhhh!!" width="450" height="300" /></p>
<p>Hope you don&#8217;t mind me rambling on about David Lynch here but it&#8217;s Friday night and if you&#8217;re reading this, well, then you&#8217;re probably as lost as I am. But I&#8217;m someone who has, I&#8217;d like to think, watched a lot of movies across the years. My tastes are massively pretentious, and I&#8217;ll be the first to admit it, but in dichotomy, they&#8217;re also extremely low bro, just barely scraping the floor of what a human can stand to watch. And going along with that, I&#8217;m a horror movie fan. Hardcore, for the most part. I don&#8217;t really like &#8220;gore&#8221; movies, but it&#8217;s not typically a matter of finding them unsettling, just uninteresting. But one of the few times I ever felt nearly sick to my stomach was during a viewing of the unrated cut of Miike&#8217;s <em>Ichi The Killer</em> inflicted upon me by Conrad Noir. That film is deliriously gross and there&#8217;s a fun campiness to it. But there&#8217;s also a scene where a character very slowly cuts out his own tongue and seems to enjoy doing it and I nearly had to tap out there.</p>
<p>I could compare that scene with a similar one in <em>Oldboy</em> where a character has to do something similar, but unlike <em>Ichi The Killer</em>, it makes sense for the story and it&#8217;s not done in a way that attacks the viewer. It&#8217;s part of the story, an act of desperation, and kind of makes sense, even though it is an unsettling notion in general. I&#8217;ll stop there because I know everytime I bring up the words &#8220;Asian&#8221; and &#8220;cinema&#8221; in the same sentence, Benjamin Light falls asleep.</p>
<p>My point is that there&#8217;s really gorey stuff that can get to you and there&#8217;s psychological horror like, for example, <em>Irreversible</em>. And there&#8217;s movies that dance drunkely on the line in between the two, like the entire <em>Saw</em> set. Speaking of which, can you believe they plan to make at least 8 of these movies?  Jesus fucking Christ.</p>
<p>And then there&#8217;s the special David Lynch touch. There&#8217;s moments in his films that are gorey and there&#8217;s moments that are flashes of psychological horror. And then there&#8217;s something else, something beyond those two. To me, Polanski was a master of the rare art of taking the creepy parts of a film and making it feel like they were in the room with you, crawling up behind you with a sick glint of terror in their eye. Gore (nice first name, buddy) Verbinski&#8217;s remake of <em>The Ring</em> had flashes of that same vibe. There was gore there, and existential dread, but with David Lynch, there&#8217;s something more there, something scary. I almost want him to throw some tentacles and racism in his movies so that I could say that his film studio lives in Cthulhu&#8217;s butt, man.</p>
<p>Another example, from near the beginning of <em>Mulholland Drive</em>:</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/hlzTZNqCCZg&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/hlzTZNqCCZg&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>I had forgotten that Phil from <a href="http://counter-force.com/category/lost-mania/"><em>Lost</em></a>/Jimmy Barret from <a href="http://counter-force.com/category/mad-men-mania/"><em>Mad Men</em></a> was in that scene. And yet, he&#8217;s perfect in it. And the film is shot perfectly, with the camera just hovering around these characters in semi-tight close ups in the diner, lost in the dreamtime as it fluctuates into a nightmare. It&#8217;s a brilliant decision to make us feel the character&#8217;s shock and fear rather than drift into cliched screams and quick cuts, etc. And sometimes the most horrific part of a terrible thing is being told exactly how it&#8217;s going to go down before it does. It&#8217;s what makes the ending of <em>The Blair Witch Project</em> work despite itself.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/RhqvSEoiB7o&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/RhqvSEoiB7o&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>&#8220;Every little detail is either feeding the mood or destroying the mood.&#8221; I love that quote, from the above discussion on his techniques. Lynch is obsessed with the aesthetics of any scene.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5131" title="This is the girl." src="http://counterforce.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/this-is-the-girl.jpg" alt="This is the girl." width="480" height="366" /></p>
<p>But that scene may not be indicative of how perfect of a David Lynch movie that <a href="http://www.themodernword.com/mulholland_drive.html"><em>Mulholland Drive</em></a> is. The way it lures you in with it&#8217;s seemingly straightforward plot of a amnesiac girl on the run meeting up with the good-natured wannabe starlet moving to LA, a world where the real meets with the bizarre fantasies of the real, combined with the slightly amateurish way that Lynch sometimes does his films combined scene to scene with some masterful bits of directing and editing. Maybe the &#8220;No Hay Banda&#8221;/Club Silencio scenes show all of this a little better&#8230;</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/ApMyMGRa7x4&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/ApMyMGRa7x4&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>&#8230;which uses the spanish language a cappella version of Roy Orbison&#8217;s &#8220;Crying&#8221; perfectly, and beautiful performed by Rebekah del Rio, to give the two characters, Betty (Naomi Watts) and Rita (Laura Elena Harring), something magnificent to take in. In a lot of ways, the whole film plays out here in this scene, as the two women, newly lovers, watch the ridiculous elements on the stage before them, but our overcome by sadness from an event that they&#8217;re not aware has ever taken place. They&#8217;re oblivous to the fact that they&#8217;re merely daydreams of their real selves, whose relationship has ended in a violent tragedy. Just as the song keeps playing long after the performer&#8217;s dead body has been dragged from the stage, some dreams stick around long after one has woken and are poisoned by the harsh southern California sunlight and turned into nightmares.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5132" title="In which Mulholland Drive morphs into Persona for just a moment or two." src="http://counterforce.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/in-which-mulholland-drive-morphs-into-persona-for-just-a-moment-or-two.jpg" alt="In which Mulholland Drive morphs into Persona for just a moment or two." width="437" height="245" /></p>
<p>For all his weirdness, and all his attempts at capturing and being the sole conquerer of the American weird film zeitgeist, David Lynch has never been and probably never will be more perfect than he was in <em>Mulholland Drive</em>.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5129" title="Naomi Watts and David Lynch." src="http://counterforce.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/naomi-watts-and-david-lynch.jpg" alt="Naomi Watts and David Lynch." width="314" height="486" /></p>
<p>And there&#8217;s a reason that this movie, despite it&#8217;s weirdness, launched Naomi Watts onto a career that ultimately could be called merely so so. It&#8217;s not the &#8220;so so&#8221; of it that&#8217;s important, it&#8217;s the launching. It&#8217;s not totally shocking to me that she would be the common denominator in this post, having worked with Lynch, Cronenberg, and was in <em>The Ring</em>. But she&#8217;s perfect in this <em>Mulholland Drive</em>, at one moment sunny as the weather and bursting with bright eyed optimism and at other times, dark and torn apart, nothing but raw hurting nerves as she cries and masturbates. It reminds me of myself whenever I write one of these diatribes for you people.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5150" title="No, actually, this is the girl." src="http://counterforce.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/no-actually-this-is-the-girl.jpg" alt="No, actually, this is the girl." width="261" height="400" /></p>
<p>That said, I have <em>Inland Empire</em> sitting around on my shelf, just waiting to be watched. Anyone care to join me? Or to hold my hand in an attempt to make it all way through <em>Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me</em>? It&#8217;d be much appreciated.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5128" title="This is not untrue." src="http://counterforce.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/this-is-not-untrue.jpg" alt="This is not untrue." width="473" height="251" /></p>
<p>But for now, I leave you in peace, with a final thought from David Lynch himself, about movies and iphones:</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>Oldboy</strong></p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-333" href="http://nomependente.wordpress.com/2009/11/03/filmes-que-valem-iv/2005_oldboy_psp_poster_001/"><img class="size-medium wp-image-333 alignnone" title="Oldboy" src="http://nomependente.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/2005_oldboy_psp_poster_001.jpg?w=174" alt="Oldboy" width="174" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>“Oldboy” é um filme impossível de se definir em uma única frase. O filme consegue unir em 119 minutos, questões como vingança, amor, ultra-violência, o tempo, a crise da vida moderna, a hipnose e obstinação, tudo isso envolto a tabus sexuais.<br />
<!--more--></p>
<p>Baseado em um “mangá” (tradicional história em quadrinhos japonesa), publicado em nove volumes, em 1997, e vencedor do Grande Prêmio do Júri em Cannes, “Oldboy” é o segundo capítulo da “Trilogia da Vingança”, do diretor Chan Wook Park (o primeiro é “Simpatia pelo Sr.Vingança”).</p>
<p>A história começa quando o personagem Oh Dae-su é seqüestrado e confinado numa prisão particular, sem que lhe seja dada justificativa alguma sobre o ato&#8230;</p>
<p>A clausura se estende por nada menos do que 15 anos, durante os quais, o personagem fica sozinho, num quarto com banheiro, tendo apenas uma TV para lhe manter em contato com as mudanças no mundo exterior. O quarto é impregnado regularmente por um gás sonífero, que precede a entrada dos seqüestradores, que assim limpam o local, cortam-lhe o cabelo ou costuram seus constantes ferimentos, sem que o prisioneiro troque quaisquer palavras com outros humanos. Sua única companhia é a TV.</p>
<p>Depois da libertação, Dae-su concentra-se exclusivamente na vingança. Quer descobrir quem o prendeu e o porquê. Mas a tarefa não é fácil; tem de se adaptar a 15 anos de “solitária” e ainda por cima é suspeito de um homicídio cometido durante o cativeiro. Mi-do, uma cozinheira de sushi de mãos frias vai ajudá-lo a procurar uma resposta para a pergunta que não lhe sai da mente: por que?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>The festival is beginning to take its toll on me, especially as I also have to work during these afternoons, so I only managed to fit in two films in my schedule. By shear chance, both of them were South Korean and both starred the always good <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0814280/">Kang-ho Song</a>.</p>
<p><strong><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-431" title="song-kang-ho-in-thirst" src="http://anotherkindofclay.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/song-kang-ho-in-thirst.jpg?w=200" alt="song-kang-ho-in-thirst" width="200" height="300" />Song</strong> is one of Korea’s biggest moviestars, but he also is a very competent and versatile actor, often adding a touch of humour in his roles. I first became aware of him in <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0192657/">Swiri</a> (from 1999) by <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0437625/">Je-gyu Kang</a>, who five years later made the good war film <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0386064/">Brotherhood</a>. After <strong>Swiri</strong>, Song did <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0260991/">J.S.A. Joint Security Area</a>, which was his first collaboration with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Park_Chan-wook">Chan-wook Park</a>. Park used Song in his next project, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0310775/">Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance</a>, as well. Park went on to make the internationally acclaimed <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0364569/">Oldboy</a>, without Song this time. He gave him a cameo in <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0451094/">Sympathy for Lady Vengeance</a> before granting him the undisputed lead in <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0762073/">Thirst</a>, which is the first film I saw today.</p>
<p><strong>Thirst</strong> is a gorgeously filmed vampire story. For the first hour it is really good, at times exceptionally so. There are scenes we haven’t seen before and the protagonist is definitely not your typical vampire. Song plays a devout catholic priest who becomes a vampire through a tainted blood transfusion after having briefly died as a test subject for an experimental vaccine. He soon realizes his predicament, and not feeling it is a sin, as he didn’t ask for this to happen to him, he considers it an illness and not inherently bad in any moral way. There is initially no big change in his personality and he makes sure that he doesn’t harm anyone in order to procure the necessary quantities of blood, tapping blood from coma victims at the local hospital who are not likely to miss a bottle or two of the red stuff.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-432" title="thirst-movie-poster" src="http://anotherkindofclay.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/thirst-movie-poster.jpg?w=210" alt="thirst-movie-poster" width="210" height="300" />Soon, however, he is introduced to Tae-joo, a young woman forced into servitude of her sickly husband and mother in law. The priest, soon to be ex-priest, and Tae-joo begin an erotic relationship which is very well represented in the film. The scenes of love making all seem natural and as a result comes off as truly erotic and not the silly wish fulfilment fantasies of countless Hollywood films. Unfortunately, it turns out that his love is a bit of a <em>femme fatale</em> who uses him for her own ends. From this point in, I felt the film became overlong, dwelling too much on its grantedly beautiful frames, but not advancing the plot in any surprising ways, or at all. I won’t spoil the film, so I’ll limit myself to saying that for me, at least, the film didn’t reach its potential. I saw where the film was heading and it didn’t make any meaningful detours from that direction. As a result, a short trip felt far too long. What made this second half of the film worth staying, was the stellar work of <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1982607/">Ok-vin Kim</a>, an actress I’d never heard of before. She really made the character of Tae-joo a full bodied creature, upping the menacing aspects of her arc in the film. I’ll recommend the film with caution, as it is very well made and looks fantastic, with some really breath taking scenes. Just be aware that the recommendation is not unconditional.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0901487/"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-435" title="Memories-of-Murder_press08" src="http://anotherkindofclay.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/memories-of-murder_press08.jpg?w=300" alt="Memories-of-Murder_press08" width="300" height="200" />The Good, the Bad, the Weird</a> also stars Kang-ho Song. In this film he plays almost an amalgamation of the two characters he has played in the films of my favourite Korean director, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bong_Joon-ho">Joon-ho Bong</a>. I assume anyone with an interest in Korean films has seen <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0353969/">Memories of Murder</a>, in which Song plays a policemen with a temper and some intellectual shortcomings. I personally found this even better than <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000399/">David Fincher</a>’s <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0443706/">Zodiac</a>, being a very similar story. Song also played in the environmental monster film <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0468492/">The Host</a>, which was a bit of a hit internationally as well. Here he played a well meaning buffoon, possibly short of some marbles.</p>
<p>As <strong>The Good, the Bad, the Weird</strong> gives Song the chance to essay a character who seemingly has two personalities, he can really let loose with his two most typical screen personas. Song, of course, is the weird one of the title.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-434" title="tale_of_two_sisters_2003_poster" src="http://anotherkindofclay.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/tale_of_two_sisters_2003_poster.jpg?w=209" alt="tale_of_two_sisters_2003_poster" width="209" height="300" />The film is directed by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Ji-woon">Ji-woon Kim</a>, who among others has made the solid <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0365376/">A Tale of Two Sisters</a> and <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0456912/">A Bittersweet Life</a>. Kim is a very visually oriented director, often presenting tableaus which are easier to admire than really like, but in <strong>The Good, the Bad, the Weird</strong>, he uses his considerable talents to give us the purest entertainment this side of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_jones">Indiana Jones</a> (disregarding the <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0367882/">fourth near-abomination</a>). The title of the film makes the countless nods to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergio_leone">Sergio Leone</a> quite clear, but more than a Spaghetti Eastern, I felt this was an adventure film, an action film like they don’t make em anymore.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-433" title="goodbadweird" src="http://anotherkindofclay.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/goodbadweird.jpg?w=300" alt="goodbadweird" width="300" height="270" />The plot is all a bit of nonsense, with a treasure map serving as a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mcguffin">MacGuffin</a> for countless inventive chases and spectacular fight scenes, not with kung-Fu, but guns, cannons and everything that can be fired from a steel tube. In between the action scenes, we get to know the characters just enough to care about them. There is also a sub-plot regarding how Korea has been stolen by the Japanese, and as a result the three protagonists are men with no country, all now making a life lived in the eternal present in a soon to be mythic <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchuria">Manchuria</a>. This gives them the chance to reinvent themselves, something Song’s character has done most successfully, gladly accepting the role as a happy-go-lucky small time thief and adventurer. Again, I can’t say more, as it would spoil a plot point towards the end.</p>
<p>The plot, however is not the important thing here. The unbridled entertainment on display is all that counts. I laughed out loud many times during the film and too often during the action scenes, I found myself sitting with my mouth open for a longer time than is considered proper in polite society. The only thing that was a let down was the ending, which I felt was too abrupt and disappointing in its stock situation. I felt that it was unnecessary to emulate Leone to such a degree at this point. That particular scene can probably never be bettered anyway, so it was a bit of a suicide attempt for Kim to try to get away with it. Be sure, by the way, to watch some minutes into the credits, as some resolution can be found there. Heartily recommended, but not for those who feel that all art should be slow moving, reflective and involve the deeper meaning of life, come hell or high water.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>დეკადის რჩეული მუსიკალური ალბომებისა და სიმღერების პრეზენტაციის შემდეგ ჯერი მხატვრულ ფილმებზე მიდგა.</p>
<p>ბევრი შესავლის გარეშე გაგაცნობთ, ჩემი აზრით<strong> XXI</strong> საუკუნის ტოპ 10 ფილმს(მხატვრულსაც და ანიმაციურსაც).</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="BOrat" src="http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/3937/boratmankini624081m.jpg" alt="" width="195" height="282" /></p>
<p><strong><em>10)</em>Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan(2006)</strong></p>
<p>არასოდეს არ მიცინია არც ერთ ფილმზე ისე როგორც Borat–ზე. საშა ბარონ კოენი(ბორატი) თანამედროვეობის ენდი კაუფმანია. სკანდალური, ამოუცნობი და ძალიან სასაცილო.</p>
<p>ფილმი თავიდან ბოლომდე არის არა ყაზახეთის არამედ ა.შ.შ.–ის მიწასთან გასწორება. მსოფლიო ჰეგემონის პოლიტიკის დაცინვა, მისი მოსახლეობის შავი იუმორის ტყლაპოში ამოსვრა. ნამუშევარი თავისი ფსევდო–დოკუმენტურობითა და გადაღების სტილით ორიგინალური და კიდევ უფრო მიმზიდველია.  ეს ფილმი არა დეკადის არამედ საერთოდ, ყველა დროის ერთ–ერთი საუკეთესო კომედია.</p>
<p><strong>9)</strong><strong>The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford(2007)</strong></p>
<p>ვინაა ენდრიუ დომინიკი? სად იყო ეს ნიჭიერი კაცი აქამდე, რატომ არ ირებდა ფილმებს? ეს ნამუშევარი წიგნს მაგონებს. მხატვრული ლიტერატურის კარგი შვილია. ფილმი თავისი ხანგრძლივი ქრონომეტრაჟის მიუხედავად ერთი წამითაც არ განდომებს დაძინებას, ფილმის გადახვევას ან რეჟისორის შეგინებას.  რასელის ეს ნამუშევარი მთლიანად ორი ადამიანის ისტორიას ეძღვნება, ორი პიროვნება რომელიც ჩვენს თვალწინ განიცდის ტრანსფორმაციას. უშიშრები იღლებიან ყოველდღიური ყოფისაგან, მშიშრებს შურთ, უორენ ელისი და ნიქ ქეივი კი ამ ყველაფერს თავიანთი ჰანგებით აფორმებენ. ოპერატორული ნამუშევარი ფენომენალურია. ბრწყინავლე კადრები, რომლებიც გატყვევებს და სურვილს გიჩენს ოპერატორი თუ არა კარგი ფოტოგრაფი მაინც გამოხვიდე. ბრედ პიტი და ქეისი აფლეკი ბრწყინვალე ტანდემს ქმნიან, უფრო ზუსტი ვიქნები თუ ვიტყვი რომ ზედგამოჭრილები არიან თავიანთი როლებისთვის.</p>
<p><strong>8)Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter&#8230; and Spring(2003)</strong></p>
<p>ფილმის დასაწყისში მოვკვდი და 90 წუთის შემდეგ მკვდრეთით აღვსდექი. მცხვენოდა ჩემი თავის,  მეზიზღებოდა ჩემი ცხოვრება, ჩემი ყოველდღიური ყოფა.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="გაზაფხული, ზაფხული, შემოდგომა, ზამთარი... და ისევ გაზაფხული" src="http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/7105/67469921743fb5683b.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="245" /></p>
<p>ზუსტად იგივე მოხდა მეორე ნახვაზე, მესამეჯერაც იგივე განმეორდა.  რიგით მეოთხე სეანსზე მივხვდი, რომ არ იყო აუცილებელი კიმ კი დუკის წალკოტში ცხოვრება რათა სულიერი ბედნიერებისთვის მიმეღწია. დავარწმუნე ჩემი თავი, რომ ეს მხოლოდ ფილმი და რეჟისორის ბოროტი ჩანაფიქრი იყო მოეხიბლა ყველა, შეეყვარებინა ყველასთვის ფილმი და უკარებად დარჩენილიყო ბოლომდე, თუმცა&#8230;</p>
<p>ბოლოს იყო ისევ პირველი სეანსი, ისევ გაზაფხული დადგა და ისევ მოვკვდი რეინკარნაციის მოლოდინში.</p>
<p><strong>7)Pan&#8217;s Labyrinth (2006)</strong></p>
<p>ხავიერ ნავარეტეს იავნანა მუდამ ჩამესმის ყურში როდესაც ეს ფილმი მახსენდება. გილერმო დელ ტორომ ფენომენალური სამუშაო გასწია, თავისი &#8220;ბინძური&#8221; ფანტაზიებში გახლართა ერთი შეხედვით საბავშვო ფენტეზის ისტორია, ზემოდან ომის საშინელება მოაყარა ნამუშევარს და ფავნას დახამრებით ჯადოსნური ფილმი გამოუვიდა. პატარა ოფელიას ისტორია, რომელიც ცდილობს არ დაიკარგოს ამ საზიზღარ და საშინელ სამყაროში. როდესაც საქმე <strong>Fantasy</strong>–ს ეხება თიტზე ჩამოსათვლელი რეჟისორებია რომლების გილერმო დელ ტოროს გვერდით დაყენება შეიძლება.</p>
<p><strong>6)Ratatouille (2007)</strong></p>
<p><strong>Pixar</strong>–ზე არაერთხელ დამიწერია. ჩემი ფავორიტი ანიმაციური სტუდიაა, იქ მომუშავე პერსონალი წლიდან წლამდე სულ უფრო და უფრო მაოცებენ თავიანთი კრეატიულობითა და გენიალურობით.  ძალიან ძნელია რომელიმე მათი ნამუშევრის გამორჩევა და საუკეთესოდ დასახელება, თუმცა რატატუი სხვა ანიმაციურ ფილმებს სულ ცოტათი მირჩევნია. მიზეზი ამისა მულტფილმის პერსონაჟებია. არა <strong>Pixar</strong>–ის სხვა მულტფილმებს არ ვუწუნებ მთავარ გმირებს, მაგრამ რემი, ეგო, ემილი და სხვები უბრალოდ განუმერებლები არიან. ფილმს აქვს ყველაფერი, აბსოლიტურად ყველაფერი იმისათვის რომ შედევრი იყოს. გასაოცარი ანიმაცია,  კარგი სიუჟეტი, იუმორი და სული, ის სული რომელიც ყველა <strong>cartoon</strong>–ს სჭირდება და ასე ძალიან აკლია <strong>dreamwork</strong>–ის მულტფილმებს ხოლმე.</p>
<p><strong>5)HERO (2002)/V for Vendetta(2006)</strong></p>
<p>10–ში რამდენიმე ბრწყინვალე ნამუშევარი ვერ შევიყვანე და კიდევ ერთის ამოგდება მომკლავდა :დ ამიტომაც მეხუთეზე ორი ფილმი გავიყვანე, ჩემთვის ორივე თანაბრად მნიშვნელოვანი და  საინტერესოა.</p>
<p><strong>Hero</strong> ენგ ლიის  <strong>Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon</strong>–ის შემდეგ გამოვიდა, ამ ფილმის მთელი ესთეტიკა გადმოიტანა უფრო საინტერესო სიუჟეტი შემომთავაზა და გაცილებით მიმზიდველი პერსონაჟები შექმნა. ჟან იმოუს ეს ფილმი შედევრია. არ მინდა პოსტი ძალიან დიდი და დამღლელი გამომივიდეს, ამ ფილმს ოდესმე აუცილებლად მივუძღვნი ცალკე პოსტს სადაც დაწვრილებით ვისაუბრებ დეტალებსა და სიმბოლოებზე რომელიც ამ ფილმში უხვადაა გაბნეული.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="V for Vendetta" src="http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/4922/vforvendettay.jpg" alt="" width="315" height="267" /></p>
<p><strong>V for Vendetta</strong> ალან მურის გენიალური კომიქსის ძალიან ძლიერი ადაპტაციაა. ეტყობა ძმები ვაჩოვსკების ხელი(Matrix–ის რეჟისორები). ყველაზე &#8220;რევოლუციური&#8221;  ფილმი რომელიც ბოლო 9 წელიწადში გამოვიდა.  ვიი გაი ფოუკსის ნიღბით ჩემთვის თავისუფლებისა და დაუმორჩილებლობის სიმბოლოა. <strong><em>&#8220;People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people&#8221; -V</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>4) Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence(2004)</strong></p>

<p><strong> Matrix</strong>–ისამდე 4 წლით ადრე მამორუ ოშიმ შექმნა ანიმე რომელიც ჩემთვის პირადად &#8220;სამაგიდო&#8221; <strong>sci-fi</strong> ნამუშევარია.  სიტყვებით შეუძლებელია იმ ატმოსფეროს გადმოცემა რომელიც ამ ფილმშია. ყურებისას თვალწინ არაერთი ფილმი წარმოგიდგებათ <strong>Blade runner</strong>–იდან დაწყებული, <strong>I robot</strong>–ით დამთავრებული. ეს არის გენიალური სცენარისა და იდეის ბრწყინვალე ეკრანიზაცია. ყველაზე მაგარი ისაა, რომ პირველი <strong>Ghost in the Shell</strong> არ შემყავს დეკადის საუკეთესო ფილმებში, ნომერ მეოთხე ადგილს მეორე ნაწილს,<strong>Innocence</strong>, ვანიჭებ. ძალიან, ძალიან იშვიათად რომ ფილმის სიქველი უფრო მეტად მომეწონოს ვიდრე პირველი ნაწილი, როგორც წესი გაგრძელებები ფულის მოსახეკად ნაცოდვილარი ნამუშევრებია, მიხარია რომ გამონაკლისები არსებობს. თამამად შემიძლია ვთქვა(დავწერო) რომ მამორუ ოშის ეს ნამუშევარი ჰაიაო მიაძაკის  <strong>Princess Mononoke</strong>–სთან ერთად ყველა დროის საუკეთესო ანიმეა.</p>

<p><strong>2)The Fountain((2006)</strong></p>
<p>ძალიან ბევრჯერ მაქვს ეს ფილმი ნანახი და თითოეული სეანსის შემდეგ სრულიად სხვადასხვა ადგილი ექნებოდა ამ ფილმს ჩემს ათეულში, ზოგიერთი ნახვის შემდეგ კი საერთოდ არ ექნებოდა. დარენ არონოფსკი ამდენ სიმბოლოს და ასე ცოტა გასაღებს მაძლევს, რომ გავიგო ყველაფერი. არადა მეც მსურს დავეწაფო სიცოცხლის ხეს, შევიგრძნო სიყვარულისა და უკვდავების გემო, ვეზიარო შიბალბას ფენომენს და კლინტ მენსელი <strong>Mogwai</strong>–სთან ერთად არ წყვეტდეს <strong>most amazing music score</strong>–ს შესრულებას.  ალბათ სწორედ ამიტომ მომწონს ასე ეს ფილმი, რომ ბოლომდე ვერ გავფატრე და გამოვიკვლიე იგი.</p>
<p><strong>1)Oldboy(2003)</strong></p>
<p><em><strong>&#8220;Even though I&#8217;m no more than a monster &#8211; don&#8217;t I, too, have the right to live?&#8221; </strong></em></p>
<p>პირველად ვუყურებ ამ ფილმს. დაწყებიდან 5 წუთში დავასტოპე ღრმად ჩავისუნთქე, &#8220;ბლინ საღოლ ნაითი(მან მირჩია ეს ფილმი) რაღაც კარგი ჩანს&#8221; გავიფიქრე.  ნახევარი საათის შემდეგ მოწყვეტილი ვარ სამყაროს, მე ჩან ვუკ პარკს ვლოცავ და ვლოცლუობ ფილმი კიდევ დიდხხანს გაგარძელდეს. აი დაე სუ ჩაქეუთით ხელში მიიკვლევს გზას ლიფტისაკენ. კვლავ ვაპაუზებ ფილმს&#8230; &#8220;სრულყოფილი სცენააა, ორიგინალური და სისხლისგამყინავი, თან რა მუსიკაა&#8221; გავიფიქრე მე. ფილმი დასასრულს მიუახლოვდა. ფინალი გამაოგნებელია, უბრალოდ შეუდარებელი, ბოლო 15 წუთი მინდა ჩემი გადაღებული და მოფიქრებული იყოს, მშურს რეჟისორის.</p>

<p>თუმცა ფილმის ყურებას მაინც ვაგრძელებ, ტიტრებს ბოლომდე ვუყურე, მძიმე ნაბიჯებით გამოვედი ოთახიდან. ჩემს ძმას ვთხოვე ფილმი ენახა მე კი ენა მოვიჭერი, ეს იყო ერთადერთი რისი გაკეთებაც მიზანშეწონილად ჩავთვალე.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Nå er jeg nettopp ferdig med å se Oldboy. Jeg er egentlig ikke vant med å se film alene, men har i senere tid funnet ut at det kan føles veldig fint å sitte i sene nattestimer å se akkurat det jeg vil se. Som nevnt skal jeg prøve å se imdb&#8217;s topliste, og valget falt i kveld (nei, i natt) på Oldboy.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-28" title="oldboy" src="http://munnspill.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/oldboy.jpg?w=300" alt="oldboy" width="300" height="201" /></p>
<p>Oldboy er en sørkoreansk film fra 2003, regissert av Park Chan-wook. Filmen handler om Oh Dea-Su, en tilsynelatende normal forretningsmann og familiefar,  som blir kidnappet og innestengt i 15 år. Han blir plutselig sluppet fri igjen, og han må på kort tid finne ut hvem som fengslet han og hvorfor. Noe som blir en jakt jeg aldri kunne ha forestilt meg.</p>
<p>Jeg visste lite om denne filmen fra før. Jeg leste kort om handlingen på imdb, og så for meg en actionfylt asiatisk film med bra kampscener.  Egentlig så jeg for meg..nei, nå har jeg brukt en halvtime på å prøve å finne ut hva den filmen jeg nå ville referere til heter. Husker kun at den var asiatisk, muligens kinesisk, og handlet om en som måtte slåss mye og var veldig flink til det. Kremt. Ja.</p>
<p><em>(Hurra, etter en natts søvn dukket navnet plutselig opp i hodet mitt. Det var The One jeg tenkte på. Den passet egentlig ikke så bra inn som en sammenligning. Så. Nevermind)</em></p>
<p>ANYWAYS. Denne filmen var veldig anderledes enn jeg hadde forventet meg. Den har et utrolig bra og spennende særpreg og fanget meg fra første stund.  Jeg ble veldig fasinert av plottet, karakterene og utviklingen av historien. Jeg ble også sittende med hendene foran ansiktet og si &#8220;ååååå. neineinei. iiiiih.&#8221; flere ganger, av ulike grunner. Og i tillegg til spenning og forstyrrende grusomheter har denne filmen klart å få med en uhøytidlig og herlig form for humor. Det er prima film det. Og JO, ikke minst må skuespillerprestasjonene nevnes. Jeg syns hovedrolleinnehaveren Choi Min-sik gjør en helt glimrende jobb. Rollefiguren hans går gjennom så utrolig mange ulike faser og følelser at å tenke på alt arbeidet han har bidratt med i denne filmen gjør meg litt svimmel.</p>
<p>Jeg blir rett og slett så GLAD når noen klarer å lage en så god film som dette. Det er noe med uttrykket og særpreget i denne filmen som gjør meg veldig engasjert. Jeg tror kanskje. Nei, jeg kan ikke? Skal jeg? Jo. Selv om dette kanskje undergraver mitt rykte som seriøs filmanmelder vil jeg bare slå til med en gang og gi denne filmen eeen&#8230;.damdamdamtam. Sekser!</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-27" title="terningkast6" src="http://munnspill.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/terningkast61.jpg?w=142" alt="terningkast6" width="85" height="90" /> Jeg syns man får lov til å syns at en bra film er skikkelig bra. Nei, DRITbra. Jeg vil absolutt ikke si jeg slenger en sekser i hytt og pine. Vanligvis får filmer jeg liker godt en femmer. En sekser er bare for de spesielle. Og jeg tror ikke jeg kommer til å angre på å sette denne i denne ærefulle kategorien. Jeg våger meg til å si at de som har sett den kan umulig være så uenige med meg?</p>
<p>Jeg leser sjeldent mye om filmer før jeg ser dem, men liker å lese meg litt opp på dem etterpå. Oldboy intet unntak.  Da lærer jeg sånne ting som at  Choi Min-sik  trente i seks uker og gikk ned 20 kg for rollen i filmen, pluss at han gjorde de fleste av stuntene sine selv. Slike mannfolk står det respekt av. Dessuten, til min store lykke, leser jeg at dette er 2.del i en vengence triologi. a.k.a, jeg har to nye filmer jeg har lyst til å se. Frykter at de ikke er like gode, men tror allikevel de er verdt å se.</p>

<p>Da sier jeg takk for meg, og sier også takk og pris for at klokka stilles tilbake, for da har jeg en times mindre dårlig samvittighet for at jeg sitter lenge oppe. God natt og God Søndag!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Poor neglected blog.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s ok, not much of relevance has happened since Hugh Jackman stood for all of us who hate people who don&#8217;t turn off their mobile phones in a theatre. Thanks once more Wolverine. </p>
<p>Now for the real, and random, updates&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.jordanmendenhall.com">jordanmendenhall.com</a>, a former home of this blog and my main site, has been updated. Now in a much bleaker grey tone. Hefty thanks to <a href="http://css-tricks.com/perfect-full-page-background-image/">CSS-tricks</a> for the inspiration and code.</li>
<li>PHP &#8211; currently trying to tackle this programming language; reading through the excellent <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/index.php">manual</a> and trying to learn through experience with WordPress and <a href="http://simplepie.org/">SimplePie</a>. I would have some SimplePie sites done by now but it is being frakin&#8217; annoying and not working how I&#8217;d like. More to learn I guess.</li>
<li>Restarted my search for work. If it doesn&#8217;t pan out by January, will more than likely be heading to Thailand to work for an NGO, finances be damned. </li>
<li>The best days are those in which new books arrive in the mail. Today I received <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Infrastructural-City-Networked-Ecologies-Angeles/dp/849695479X/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_1">The Infrastructural City</a>, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Fell-Vol-Feral-City-v/dp/1582406936/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#38;s=books&#38;qid=1256236642&#38;sr=1-1">Fell Vol 1: Feral City</a>, and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Holy-Shrines-Penguin-Great-Journeys/dp/0141025387/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&#38;s=books&#38;qid=1256236602&#38;sr=1-8">To The Holy Shrines</a>. Will probably be the first and last purchases for the year as my stack(s) are already overwhelming.</li>
<li>I don&#8217;t think the beef in my Mongolian beef from the local Chinese place actually comes from Mongolia.</li>
<li>Still posting at <a href="http://www.whyweworry.com/">WhyWeWorry</a>. <a href="http://www.whyweworry.com/author/jordan/">My posts are here</a>.</li>
<li>Thinking of doing my first <a href="http://www.nanowrimo.org/">NaNoWriMo</a>. Ok, not as cool as running a marathon but I guess it&#8217;s a marathon of a different sort. Might be a bit of a spur to be disciplined for once.</li>
<li>Was in a car accident my first day off from my laymen home nursing duties putting my squarely back at home and car-less for the past three weeks. Fingers crossed, it will be back tomorrow. Just another sign that my time back home in Redneckville should be coming to an end.</li>
<li>Movies: Watched <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fires_on_the_plain">Fires On The Plain</a> last night. A single Japanese soldier crawls across the shattered landscape of the Philippines in WWII witnessing gore, disease, and cannibalism. Excellent, to say the least. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlito%27s_Way">Carlito&#8217;s Way</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oldboy">Oldboy</a> are the only other ones that stick out for me this month. Carlito&#8217;s Way of probably being the last great dePalma and Oldboy surprisingly fresh with a sick surprising ending. Also watched The Painted Veil, which was pretty decent, not great. </li>
<li>Craig Ferguson remains the King of Late Night, despite all the attention lavished on the others. Conan is struggling a bit in his time slot and I enjoyed Jimmy Fallon even more than Conan until I was turned onto Craig Ferguson. Conan is starting to get into Letterman mode where he has one monologue joke for the week and rolls with it. Ferguson has no &#8217;standard&#8217; monologue, or format for that matter. He has, I guess, what you call a cold opening, a break, then goes to a monologue, then to a sit-down, then to the interviews. He doesn&#8217;t keep them on a strict PR play-by-play that you can tell is rote (Conan is getting especially bad at this) and will let the interview meander wherever it leads. He also has authors, which I&#8217;ve never seen on a real late night show before. Letterman and Leno I could really care less about, especially Leno. The commercials for his man on the street stuff before his show premiered seemed at best condescending and mostly insulting.</li>
<li>The <a href="http://www.lacyclingmap.com/">LA Cycling Map</a> got a redesign. <del datetime="2009-10-22T21:04:34+00:00">The map is loading properly but Google has been acting weird the past two days so who knows. Will take a closer look after doing some more cover letters. </del> A cover letter done and problem figured out. Should work fine now. </li>
<li>Update: Found some great techdork and theory pieces at this area of the Adobe site called the <a href="http://www.instapaper.com/go/13134993">Think Tank</a>. Check it out.
</ul>
<p>That&#8217;s about it. Hopefully good news to come, either about work or life or getting away, soon.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Park Chan-wook es un director coreano que puede jactarse de haber creado una trilogía en la que ninguna de las 3 películas tiene una historia o personajes entrelazados entre sí. Lo que une a las películas es la venganza.</p>

<p>2da entrega: <strong>“Oldboy”</strong> (2003)</p>
<p>Es la película más exitosa  de Chan-wook y una de mis películas favoritas gracias a sus muchos puntos de giro, no permitiéndote jamás anticipar lo que sucederá. Cuenta la historia de Oh Daesu, un tipo común y corriente que es raptado y liberado después de 15 años. Despojado de su familia y su vida anterior, jura cobrar venganza contra su captor.</p>
