you said, “young korea men seem to lack masochism.” masochism? what the heck are you talking about?!

do you even know what ‘masochism’ means?

masochism: sexual disorder in which sexual arousal is derived from subjection to physical and emotional degradation.

can you please clarify what you’re trying to say here?

and btw, are you japanese? i’ve been to japan a few times, and it seems to be that japanese men are way more feminine than korean guys. i’m sure most people will agree with my statement.

Not true in my case. Though I may be the acception.

I am all in favor of seeing asians in love as long as both of the chicks are hot.

“Let them eat rice cake.” That’s great!

I mean, point being that capitalism does rule all when it comes to entertainment. You think directors care how great a storyline is or how talented the actor? As long as the seats are full, eh?

Good one! I laughed and got the look again from the office.

Why the hell would you choose the festering snatch of said woman?!?

Good lord man…get a nice (in a relative sense of course) young ‘un like Alba, Fox, or Johansson.

I am sure Rain would thank you too.

yeah, i think we know who really got off here, guy.

folks, it’s intereting the imagination of others. while net kim takes back the glory, i’m thinking other things about how chungmuro can make a good chunk of change in the american market.

how about a korean re-telling of marie antoinette set in a dreamed up chosun court? a pretty korean gal reads about the french gal and that night dreams the story. just like ‘wizard of oz’! that way, we can have a masquerade party and show the kind of decadence unknown in front of the closed door of the rotting confucian order. the first half can show the lavish lifestyle of the young queen. that’s where you bring in all the fancy costumes. somewhere in this segment, her majesty Pak Twa-neht-too will declare:
‘let them eat rice cake!’

the second half will be about action with people flying everywhere and lighting bolts coming out of people’s asses! the queen makes a valiant attempt to escape but we all know her sad fate. thank god it was just a dream!

i think my movie would much more interesting than net kim’s ’symapthy for mr vengence’ tirade.

what d’you guys think?

#54 Since BlueBalls was kind enough to make a reference to me in his tirade I feel that it deserves a response.

Take his statement here

a grand blockbuster starring exclusively Asian men wooing white girls, saving the world, beating up white guys, battling the evil Imoogi, or whatever the fuck else your revenge fantasy is.

This proto-script needs to be fleshed out some more.

Will this blockbuster be anything like “The Last Samurai (2003)”, where Tom Cruise was the Last Samurai? This is the movie that proved cinematical suspension of disbelief extends to incredibly far-fetched historical absurdity when it comes to East-West relations. What’s the Western equivalent of the Samurai? A Knight, perhaps? We could call this movie “The Last Anglo-Saxon Knight”, starring Ken Watanabe as the Last Anglo-Saxon Knight. Somehow a Japanese warrior mysteriously finds himself involved in a Catholic versus Protestant skirmish or some other Holy War in Medieval Europe. Details can be filled in later but we MUST have a scene where Ken Watanabe kills a noble Knight in battle and the wife of the deceased Knight is shown putting the armor of her late husband upon Ken Watanabe in a moment of intimacy because that’s what Noblewomen are supposed to do according to the code of Chivalry.

Take the words “white” and “asian” in BlueBall’s sentence above, exchange them, and you more or less have the plot for 1986 “Karate Kid Part II”. Or the 1976 World War II movie “Midway”. Or practically any movie involving a Vietnam-like country. There’s another lesser known one involving Richard Gere and Red China whose title escapes me. And on and on.

Including the latest blockbuster of this year, the long awaited “Forbidden Kingdom” starring Jet Li and Jackie Chan together for the first time in the same film. Who’s the protagonist here? Some generic white boy from suburbia who has Kung Fu posters all over his bedroom wall in lieu of a personality. He looks about as relevant to this flick as a glop of mayonnaise on a plate of Dragon and Phoenix with spicy Chinese vegetables. I didn’t see this movie. I saw the trailer. My first impression was that it seemed like some bastard child of “The Karate Kid” and “Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon” with hints of “Enter the Dragon” and “Rocky”. You do have to worry when the voiceover begins by saying “In a Land where Heaven touches Earth…” or some other sufficiently Orientalist mumble-jumble exotic-speak.

This is truly tired stuff. I’m reversing the formula. In my script, Rain is magically transported to an exotic, Tolkienesque fantasy world. Paris Hilton is a svelte elf-woman who is both his love-interest and partner in fighting off legions of evil beer-bellied, hairy Fat Bastard-looking creatures who threaten the peace and harmony of the land. Rev Moon, who is financing this project, will have a role as a Wizard. For whatever reasons, Russell Crowe, Bruce Willis, Viggo Mortensen, that guy who played King Leonidas in “300″, and Vin Diesel are also in this movie, but the main storyline will be centered on Rain. This movie becomes an instant cult hit. Pawi watches it while jerking off. BlueBalls whines about how it is unfair to hairy, beer-bellied Fat Bastard look-alikes. The End.

you think of me as an idiot but it’s surprising how similar our thoughts can be.
