i thought this was going to be a thread about dog food

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.

/looks around for mist

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

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...

I agree..great movie. I hope they make Will Smith eat the live octopus like in the original.

**Inigo Montoya** · 07-21-09, 03:28 PM

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

@Coquette, trilogy?

1 - sympathy for mr. vengeance
2 - oldboy
3 - sympathy for lady vengeance aka "lady vengeance" on the region 1 dvd release.
