I was a little confused at the end.

So tell me what the rich couple did that was so wrong? Making the grifters work on a Sunday? Telling them what to do? Those are perfectly normal things for employers of household staff to do. How does that justify Mr. Kim's action?

This is fantastic. Right up there with "The Art of Self Defense" as my favorite movies of the year

Big disappointment when I finally see this and there was no special menu on the tables, as per usual. Server told me the menu was pulled last week but he didn't know why.

The movie more than made up for it. Great movie with unexpected twists.

Crocker Jarmen

Really enjoyed this, so many surprises, such a thrilling experience. This is only playing a noon matinee at my local theatre, but there was a good number of people in the audience.

TomOpus

You might want to spoilerize some of that.

Crocker Jarmen

Okay, but I have no idea what the spoiler etiquette is around here anymore. I'd think spoilers would be assumed by page three of a thread about a movie?

TomOpus

This isn't a review thread.

But do whatever. I'm not an authority.

Ash Ketchum

Thanks. That's a crucial detail. In the commotion of that scene, I either didn't notice or had forgotten it.

Saw it last night and it was great. Reminded me of Kurosawa's High and Low mixed with the black comedies of Buñuel about social inequality.

The Bus

Alamo buys ingredients for their menus ahead of time. This movie was so popular that they basically ran out of everything. For some items, like the wings, they'd incur a loss if they had any left over so they underordered. The last day of the special menu was last night.

It's funny... I watched Parasite and High and Low in the same week, just by chance more than anything else. They would make an excellent double feature.

Regarding Parasite, my showing had a pre-recorded Q&A at the end (from Fantastic Fest, which I attended, but came back to Houston the morning of the last day, which is when Parasite and Knives Out played, so I missed both).
I'm going to put this in spoiler tags, but these are really only light spoilers at best...


I'm sure some might disagree.

TomOpus

It sucked even more when they ran the ad for the special menu right before the movie.

I saw the movie on the 8th but, according to my server, they pulled the menu several days previously. And there weren't that many showings by the time I went, maybe 7 or 8. Just seems like something else happened.

Dan

^ in some markets, the custom menu just doesn't sell enough, so they stop getting the ingredients earlier. Mine kept the menu up through this weekend, but I think that was the end of it. The wings were good. Pizza was decent. Didn't try the rest of it.

I still miss the Togarashi Popcorn they did for Isle of Dogs. It was the best custom menu item I think they ever had... and it was just spice on popcorn

TomOpus

Lucky bastard. I was ready to order both and chow down.

Daytripper

Wow, what a great film. I haven't seen a movie this original and exciting in years. I can definitely see this getting both a Best Foreign Language and Best Picture nomination. The screenplay better get one. As should the director in a perfect world. This one gets my highest rating, 10/10.

OldBoy

Aw man. I want a good non-Region A Blu-ray for this asap.

Why So Blu?

Plain Archive will probably release a definitive version. Best to keep your eyes peeled for a Korean release that is English friendly.
