Who's this "nuf" person and why does he always say stuff?

If only it were Wednesday...

You seem to be pretty slow on the uptake. So, if you're as lost as I suspect you will be regarding the direction your thought provoking thread has gone, I'll fill you in. The smartass comments that everybody's made in this thread are in reference to this, this, this, this, and this.

only one in movie talk, but oh well. my bad. no harm, no fowl.

What do chickens have to do with 'Oldboy'? ;)

Word!

:lol:

Hey, it's not like I'm art or something, but doesn't that pic seem a bit bukkake-ish?

Son, perhaps you're a mite young to be producing much, um, "man-juice" as of yet - but if you think that bat-picture is a bit bukkake-ish, you sir, are sorely mistaken.

That'd be one pathetic bukkake, if it only produced the single chin-whip pictured above.

Just sublime filmmaking. They don’t make films like these...ever. This is just beyond an ordinary film. This is beyond normal, beyond comprehension how a genius like Park could put together a puzzle that is pieced together so fantastically, so disgustingly, so egregiously amazing. Beyond acting, just another level these Korean actors are on. They are guided by an auteur, a conductor of ingenious design. They are pawns in his hand and they take that hand and make ideas and words on a page come alive. Alive in such a way that grips you, entrances you, glues you to the edge and never lets you fall. You feel anger, thrill, eroticism, sadness, profoundness and perhaps if you see it, relief and a tinge of hope and happiness. This is not for the faint of heart. This is for those that love cinema. Loves story. Loves the fantastical and sick nature of human beings. By no means is this not fiction. This transcends the idea of vengeance and brings it to life in the greatest and most spectacularly original way. This is a film, a film for the ages and should be considered amongst the best of foreign and even domestic cinema. Nuf said.

I've never seen it. Is it streaming now?

Re: "Oldboy"...see it now!
 

Okay, I’ll ask....was it the Spike Lee version?

Re: "Oldboy"...see it now!
 

So, are you trying to say you liked it?

I thought it was all right.

Re: "Oldboy"...see it now!
 

I thought Oldboy was a person, not an it?

Re: "Oldboy"...see it now!
 

Yeah, it's fine.
