TheLeon Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Based on a quick google, it’s only in NY and LA this weekend. I’ve been looking forward to this one for a while, and I plan on seeing it as soon as it’s available near me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I doubt it shows up in my city, but it’ll be my #1 priority if it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalfJoey Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I'm not sure all the movie times are posted, but the earliest I can see for around me is October 23rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatoneshere Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 It's been killing it on the festival circuit. How writer/director Joon-ho Bong could outdo himself is hard to imagine, but I can't wait to see it. Probably when it hits streaming.

TheLeon Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Parasite had a huge weekend, making over $375,000 in just 3 theaters. As of now, it doesn't look like it'll be coming to my city this weekend or the next. In the meantime, I'm going to finally get caught up on his other films. I had already seen Snowpiercer and Memories of Murder, and this morning I watched The Host, which was a wild ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's plenty good, but rough around the edges being his first film (he then did the fantastic Memories of Murder). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewhyteboar Posted October 16, 2019 Author Share Posted October 16, 2019 Btw, the real life killer from Memories of Murder? Just recently the police found him. Turns out he has been in jail for several years for a separate murder, and they used DNA to link him to the serial killings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodporne Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Never seen a single one of his films yet, where should I start? Please, something accessible if he's mega-artsy or something along the lines. The trailer here also tells me basically zero but there seems to be a hype around his name alone so I'm curious.

He's not super artsy in that way - he just makes beautiful moving films. Start with Memories of Murder. It's his best film he's made so far (closely followed by Mother). This is the order I'd watch them (production order is how I'd normally go, but in terms of best). All his movies are great though. -Memories of Murder -Mother -Snowpiercer -Okja -Barking Dogs Never Bite -The Host Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't there a director's cut, or something along those lines, of Snowpiercer? I remember reading a lot of negative things about it but then than the "uncut" version was great?

Originally they were going to cut the film for US release, but there was such an outcry from fans (and Joon-ho Bong) that they switched distributors and it was released uncut, as intended. So the uncut version is the only version out there. None of his films have director's cuts or anything. Just note his film "Mother" came out in 2009 and is different from Darren Aronofsky's "mother!" which is super artsy (great movie as well, to me at least) and came out in 2017 and is an entirely different movie (though both are about mothers and motherhood).

I did see the Aronofsky movie yeah. I thought it was mainly interesting, can't say I thought it was particularly great or anything myself. He frustrates me in general though. Requiem is a really important movie to me and just fucking incredible. I also really really like Pi and love Black Swan but I keep waiting for something else from him to blow me away for some reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
