Steve, it's not out on Region 1 yet (though there's an exceptional disc of it available through Yesasia.com) but keep your eye out for A BITTERSWEET LIFE, an exceptional Korean genre title - crime/noir/revenge with something more lingering and emotional fused with it - from the director of A TALE OF TWO SISTERS. A very good film, and I should mention it's as violent as all fuck too.<BR/><BR/> The notion that the US is working out its Abu Ghraib nausea through contemporary genre film is one of the most thought provoking I've heard in a while. I've heard that HOSTEL presses similar buttons. I'm sure we'll have more Abu Ghraib torture revelations and the like through 2006..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15861891.post-1136029712492825132005-12-31T06:48:00.000-05:002005-12-31T06:48:00.000-05:00Hey, HB3, you da man!

Though that creaky ol' timepiece (which, for the uninitiated, my amigo <B>Steve Perry</B> and I conceived and executed 25 years ago for Marvel's long-forgotten <B><I>Heavy Metal</B></I> spinoff <B><I>Epic Illustrated</B></I>'s sixth issue) was in one way instantly ossified by the arrival of the videocassette and home-viewing, it was pretty on-the-money and even prescient in other ways. <BR/><BR/>Blake, I'll check out your <B><I>Hulk</B></I> story pronto. Thanks for the link!<BR/><BR/>Was that you, Mark? I heard the sound of <B>nothing</B> -- oh, wait, that's what you said! (Besides, only two of the films I mentioned even had cannibalism in it. And one of them -- chuckle -- was <B>Mel</B>'s!)SRBissettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14426874992235196378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15861891.post-1136021286198087362005-12-31T04:28:00.000-05:002005-12-31T04:28:00.000-05:00Mr Bissette, I've been a big fan of yours for deca...Mr Bissette, I've been a big fan of yours for decades and by some strange, cruel twist of fate only just discovered this blog!<BR/><BR/>While we're on the topic of crucifixions, the unconscious, and the national zeitgeist being reflected through pop culture, I invite you to check out <A HREF="http://www.hulklonelyman.com" REL="nofollow">"Lonely Man"</A>, an unofficial, unauthorised Hulk comic that I've put up on the web in its entirety. <BR/><BR/>The tale is an allegorical one, rather relevant to the times we live in (I think so, anyway).Blake JK Chenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14793446792666207535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15861891.post-1135997958073819052005-12-30T21:59:00.000-05:002005-12-30T21:59:00.000-05:00Hear that?

The sound of NOTHING?<BR/><BR/>That's because you are wasting time complaining about Mel Gibson and Christians while exposing your own twisted self-loathing as you decry the film industry mirroring the Great Satan when all it is really doing is mirroring the bloodlust of slash-and-gore freaks who'll pay money to watch cannibals eat each other -<BR/><BR/>- instead of writing about good wholesome movies like DUNSTON CHECKS IN!Mark Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04799399359022340724noreply@blogger.com
