[gunsandsmoke.livejournal.com]

OMG THAT PICTURE D: i actually feel my thighs stinging in pain ;-;

can't wait to see this woooo, the last asian movie the local arthouse theatre played was tokyo and i didn't even get to watch all of it >:O

[fashionbang.livejournal.com]

ahh that was the last one they played around here too... and i found it by accident~
did you get past the 2nd story? the last story was really good...

[gunsandsmoke.livejournal.com]

i had to leave riiight around the middle(?) of the last story which made me so mad because i'm pretty sure it was going to be my favorite DD:

...aaand looking it up on imdb that appears to have been bong joon-ho's segment which was the one i was looking forward to!! (well no i love my boy michel gondry too~) yu aoi is insanely pretty siighh

[fashionbang.livejournal.com]

D: that sucks... my favorite is a tie between the first and last one (i wasn't that into the 2nd one)

yeah... if you've seen The Host you can definitely see his style come across. hopefully you can finish seeing it sometime!!
...and yeah. aoi yuu is ridiculously pretty. o_o

[gunsandsmoke.livejournal.com]

loll yeah me too, the 2nd one left me cold. my friends though were SO annoyed by it and got really hungry so they made me leave early. and i am the type of person who NEVER LEAVES MOVIES EARLY NO MATTER HOW TERRIBLE haha. so then they promised to pay for my food and i was peer-pressured out of finishing :<

i love the host!! soo good (imdb says they're making a host 2!!)

fun fact: you know kang hye jung (tablo's gf)? she keeps on getting surgery, and the internet notes she is trying to look more and more like aoi yu. idk if they're right or not, interesting rumor though

[fashionbang.livejournal.com]

ahhh i can understand being annoyed at the 2nd one. i was reallllyyyy annoyed, but was sticking it out for the last one. XP
ooo the host 2. i guess its a bit much to ask for the same cast but i like bae doona..

and lol WHAT. i need to go look for photos of tablo's girlfriend...

[gunsandsmoke.livejournal.com]

ahh i love bae doona!! she was the reason i found out about the host at all loll. have you seen this qt video for the making-of her new movie?? (and omg can i add youuu :DD)

[fashionbang.livejournal.com]

lol yay! i'll watch this in a little while :D
(yeah you can add me :D though this one i use is more only for big bang's clothes (if you look, you'll get what i mean) my personal one (where i'll talk about movies and stuff) is anybody-whoever) D: wtf more than one lj..

[fashionbang.livejournal.com]

what is the title of this movie??? i'm assuming shes going to be a robot/cyborg type thing?

[orangeinsanity.livejournal.com]

~sexual suggestive picture~

[shanny-w.livejournal.com]

lol the difference

[orangeinsanity.livejournal.com]

HAHA oh that's hilarious. I love hearing about things like this. Is it actually omitted from the movie or just the trailer?

[shanny-w.livejournal.com]

Just the trailer.

[uglypricetag.livejournal.com]

@ the international teaser

[-ochre.livejournal.com]

........ PLS BE COMING TO MY THEATRES ALREADY. I'm teased enough.

[shanny-w.livejournal.com]

I know it's quite the break from reality. Usually priests turn into pedophiles.

[shanny-w.livejournal.com]

I read the reviews and they didn't mention it. Maybe in the directors cut?

[shanny-w.livejournal.com]

Maybe in the prequel.

[xshinebrighterx.livejournal.com]

them shinee boys. xD

[shanny-w.livejournal.com]

Has pedo bear got his online certificate for priesthood yet?

[gogoparty.livejournal.com]

I've read netizen reviews (...) on Daum and so far this movie has overall 2.5/5 D:
apparently it's gory as hell. like no joke. blood after blood.
(but then I think Park Chan Wook was going for that from the beginning??)

as for me, I'll pass this for now cause I can't stand blood D: The Chaser was more than enough for me.

[shanny-w.livejournal.com]

Aw, you will be able to watch it online this summer prob.
