[quote name='handsome_rakshas']Aw man, wait till you hear this. My friend's dad bought me the Oldboy tin for Christmas and I returned it.

I wish I would have known it has the best transfer and features of all the Oldboy versions. I have The Host and Oldboy on Blu-Ray, I actually have The Good, The Bad, And The Weird on my want list in the Blu-Ray trading thread. Have you ever seen that war movie The Brotherhood? IMO Korea kicks the crap out of Japan in live-action movies. (Kurosawa excluded) Do all Tartan Extremes come with the slipcover? I bought a lot of them used at Blockbuster back in the day. What is your favorite Asia Extreme movies. (Your top three)
And please tell me you've seen 3 Extremes (I love it but I've never watched the full length version of Dumplings.[/QUOTE]
Haha, and here comes the thread derailing (it's okay, it's about modern Asian cinema

)...
I cannot believe you returned it! That thing goes on Ebay for $50+, and on Amazon for about the same... I really don't know why I didn't pick it up (didn't really have the funds, I'm sure...) But, regardless, Park Chan-Wook is one of the directors that will be remembered for his wonderful films.
Unfortunately, I don't think The Good, The Bad, The Weird will be coming out here soon... I want it on DVD extremely bad, though... Better come out soon... And for the war film, would it be Tae Guk Gi [The Brotherhood of War]? It's one of my top ten favorite films, and I can admit that I have cried watching it more than once. Korean cinema is amazing, but I'm not saying anything bad about Japanese cinema. Although he is probably the best known Japanese director, I LOVE Takashi Miike. Audition, Ichi the Killer, The Bird People in China, Happiness of the Katakuris, and, one of the coolest films ever, GOZU. I think Gozu can withstand many repeated viewings, just because it's so screwed up and crazy.
The first Tartan DVDs all came with slip-covers, but after that they started to release some without. Then, the entire US branch closed... So no more new Tartan Asia Extreme DVDs over here

I hate that...
And Three... Extremes is great. Dumplings is great, Cut is

ing awesome (again, Park Chan-Wook cannot disappoint), and The Box is creepy, which I always expect from Miike.
Try to find the Tartan release of The Victim. Well, I should say, just watch it. It has one really weird WTF kinda moments about an hour in. Not disturbing or anything, but just weirdddd.
