    1. I think it's a travesty that they're remaking it with Will Smith.
    2. I think it's a fantastic movie that left me thinking for days.
    3. It's the best of the trilogy, in my opinion.

    he said it was awesomesauce. well he probably didn't use that term to describe it.

    Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.

    Re: Old Boy

    seconding the opinion of travesty when will smith, steven speilberg, and an oldboy remake are all mentioned in the same sentence. unfortunately, it's true. i can't imagine how they're going to dillute this movie for the american audience.

    beyond that, yes, it's a classic.
    yes, it's definitely worth seeing.
    but, i will say sympathy for lady vengeance is my favorite of the trilogy...

    Damn, I had no idea they were doing a remake. That does suck.

    @Coquette, trilogy?
