Okay, so I’ve been responding to comments via the reply box on my dashboard. Which seems not to have been integrated with Disqus at all, so all my replies have been disappearing into the aether. First my Disqus lost its reply box — which means I have to go to each post to reply from there — and then when I thought my prayers had been answered, nope. I don’t even think the dashboard reply box is even attached to anything.
Anyways, I’ll be going back to normal replies, and my apologies to everyone that didn’t get a reply.
I watched the Korean movie Sunny on Netflix and I cried and cried because it was so beautiful.
The summary says it’s about a new girl that is embarrassed on her first day and makes six new friends. What it really is, is the story of a woman with a settled life that finds her friend that she hasn’t seen in years dying in a hospital and agrees to get the old group back together.
It was like the Korean Beaches.
I also saw the Korean movie A Company Man about a company assassin that comes to regret the life that he’s lived. He decides he wants to make a change, which results in all kinds of badness for everyone involved.
Lots of guns, knives, and violence.
Hyeong-do (SO Ji-sub) goes to the office every day, but isn’t thrilled with the cubicles, the politics, his co-workers, or the management. His job is murder. Literally. At this company, death is all in a day’s work. Hyeong-do is a corporate assassin, working for a company specializing in contract killings. He’s one of the best, and a loyal employee. But when his new trainee gets killed on the job, he feels an obligation to care for the kid’s family – and taking his eye off the ball is not how a guy gets promoted. Now, Hyeong-do wants out of the cutthroat rat race to start a new life, but his colleagues have different plans – and “retirement” may come at a far bloodier price than expected.
