Curious, to any of us who have seen the Korean film Oldboy.
Also curious to those of us who made our own Oldboy icons...



Thanks to [profile] seestephgo for pointing this out to me...
Live in Champaign-Urbana or nearby?

As part of the upcoming Korean Film Festival at Boardman's Art Theatre at the end of September...

Sympathy still
Sympathy for Lady Vengeance
[Ch'injôrhan Kûmjassi]
PARK Chan-wook | Tartan Films
2005 | 115 min
The sequel to Park Chan-wook's international success “Oldboy,” this film tells the story of Lee Geum-Ja (LEE Yeong-ae), who goes to prison for the murder and abduction of a child on behalf of her accomplice Mr. Baek (CHOI Min-shik), only to find out he has betrayed her. While in prison, she carefully prepares for her revenge by winning the hearts of her fellow inmates with her kindness, thus earning herself the nickname “the kind Ms. Geum-Ja.” Upon her release from prison after 13 years, she seeks revenge with the help of her former prison mates.  Due to graphic sex and violence, viewer discretion is advised.   View trailer
Sat 9/30, 9:30pm Boardman Art Theatre, Champaign, IL

No, it's not really a sequel to OLDBOY, just as OLDBOY wasn't a sequel to SYMPATHY FOR MR. VENGEANCE. The three are just Park's Vengeance trilogy...

            My wife is reading The Boy Who Couldn’t Stop Washing: The Experience and Treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.

            Now she’s telling me that I shouldn’t have had pesto tonight, as it will make my basal ganglia problems (Tourette’s, OCD, et al) worse.

            Get it? Yeah, nothing like late Sunday night humor.

            She also just pointed out to me, however, that I often put my hand or fingers in front of my mouth when I speak. I’ve never noticed this, but realized I was doing it when I told her I would try to be more aware of it. She said that I have a very loud voice to begin with, though. I think that’s the first time she’s said that and meant it in a good way.

It’s always interesting to me when others notice compulsions that I have no idea that I have.

Very twitchy for the past week as I adjust to new Tourette’s medication doseages.

Also wrote two more articles for Shonen Jump, bringing my total to four. First one comes out this Tuesday. You can be certain that I’ll remind you.

Back to reading some more Ranma ½ before doing more work on the comic script for Last Shot.

In conclusion, two new icons I made, one of which will only be funny to a few people, one of which will be funny to even less people.

      

Such is the way of the misunderstood comic genius.
