    I never got back to you about your Korea trip because I assumed that was off now? Korea still has the mandatory two weeks quarantine for all international visitors....
    Yeah, we canceled the South Korea trip a few weeks back, though we'd known it was off since mid-March. We're hoping to reschedule the visit next summer and do some rudimentary Korean language lessons outside of Atlanta this fall, though that aspect is of course dependent on whether lessons are still on in a possibly-online environment.

    The rewatch of some of our formative Korean cinema entries is part of this desire. We're hoping to stream Secret Mission based off of this recommendation. We got to The World of Us, which is on Amazon Prime for us in the U.S., and it was indeed haunting.

    1. Certified Copy
    2. Exit Through the Gift Shop
    3. Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World
    4. Black Swan
    5. Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives
    6. Beginners

    Oh I want to see those too. The last major Americanized film he made that I have to see from him is Prisoners.

    Prisoners is amazing. I haven't seen Incendies or any of the previous ones either, I just thought it was curious it had no huge fans here.

    I just watched Prisoners the other day. Really shows what a director can do to an okay script.

    I've seen Blade Runner 2049 a couple of times since theaters. It's a brilliant science fiction film. The original is a classic, sure, but the sequel has nothing to be ashamed for in comparison.

    Well, if that director has the right script for his style, which I felt that Villeneuve absolutely didn't with a relatively straightforward potboiler like Sicario, as the extraction sequence through Juárez was the only scene where I felt much of any actual tension, as his signature detached style was often a round peg for that square hole, and it felt at times like he was trying too hard to distance us from the characters and the situations they were trapped in, quite literally; there was that scene where Blunt & Brolin's characters are having an argument after the shootout at the border crossing, and the whole thing plays out in a wide shot the whole time, where we never actually get to see the characters' expressions up close in a scene that pretty much demands it, and all I could think was "Denis, what are you doing?". I think that he's shown his style is far better suited to contemplative, thought-provoking Sci-Fi full of big ideas, like 2049 or Arrival (which is currently my favorite film from him), which is why I'm pretty eagerly looking forward to his spin on Dune, should it be able to keep a sufficiently pandemic-free date to land on this year, hopefully.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    If there are no more votes I'll do that, sure, but a tie at #1 seems disappointing to me for some reason.

    What I did for ties (and coincidentally similar to what Spinal did, when I checked his threads for past results) is 1) go by which one having more mentions 2) if they equal in both score and mentions, go by which one placing the highest in a list. 3) if their highest placements in a list are the same, declare it a true tie.

    Spinal:

    (In the event of a tie, the film mentioned by the most people was given preference. When the same number of people mentioned it, the film with the highest average ranking was given preference. After that, I gave up and just called it a tie.)
    For some ideas. Although ties are exciting too.
    Midnight Run (1988) - 9
    The Smiling Lieutenant (1931) - 8.5
    The Adventures of Robinhood (1938) - 8
    Sisters (1973) - 6.5
    Shin Godzilla (2016) - 7.5

    No, but I should. I think as far as I got was a brief Letterboxd review.

    It resonates with me on so many levels with respect to "family", like no other modern film has before. Like climbing to a summit for years, to finally reach you goal. It's like Cobb had to move mountains just to see his kids again. I dunno.. I get misty thinking about it. But then again, I'm a sucker for father son/kids movies which is why I like Real Steel so much. Well... not as much as Inception.
