Dorrk Dot Com

• Bugging me: Wasn't there a movie where Don Knotts played a donut maker and something valuable like a diamond got lost in the dough? Title? #
• Movie time! Now showing, Park Chan-Wook's Thirst http://bit.ly/brs2HP Fan of his vengeance trilogy. Curious to see what he does w/ vampires. #
• #thirst rated R for "graphic bloody violence, disturbing images, strong sexual content…" Can't be a Park film, can it? #
• #thirst Did I really just read a subtitle of a Korean priest saying "Absoposilutely?" #
• #thirst Park's movies balance considerable shock value with so many lovely details. #
• #thirst Typical casual throwaway chitchat from Park, as husband says: "Women shouldn't get sedated endoscopes. Doctors secretly rape them." #
• #thirst Always also some kind of weird tortured sexual dynamic too. He's sort of like a weird Asian mix of David Lynch & Martin Scorsese. #
• #thirst I think David Cronenberg would have to be in the mix, too. But it's all very unique, just offering some reference points. #
• #thirst 1st halfhour oddball priest volunteers infection w/ virus for experiment, is only survivor. Recurring symptoms abated by vampirism. #
• #thirst Oh some very nice and creepily beautiful new ways of depicting a vampire there. Rare to see such graceful invention in old genre. #
• #thirst Is Park's family life remotely as f?ckedup as every family in all his movies? There's always a whirlwind of dark sick dysfunction. #
• Be interesting to hear what a Korean Catholic thinks of #thirst. Seems to be a lot of cultural baggage being explored… #
• #thirst "If you had only heard the sponge cake story." One of the best lines ever. BTW it's f?cking tough 2 do this during subtitled movies. #
• #thirst You have to love a director so confident that he uses his important special effects so subtly you could easily miss them. #
• #thirst I'm no Catholic but pretty sure if a priest grants absolution in exchange for vampire blood, it doesn't count as real absolution. #
• #thirst is slower paced than Park's great vengeance trilogy, but w/ hour left I have no idea what's in store. How often can you say that? #
• #thirst At 81 mins., least erotic threesome ever (assuming Weekend at Bernies series never went there)? #
• #thirst really lost it's energy and purpose after 90 mins. Maybe I've seen too much Buffy, but all the vamp ideas now feel like retreads. #
• Lots of great stuff in #thirst, but lost me during the guilt section & I stopped caring. Too long (2:13) w/all fresh ideas used up in 90min. #
• @culturepulp Tried 2 watch Tron few mos. ago. Off @ 20mins. Sullied memory of flinging margarine container lids at friends ala deadly discs. in reply to culturepulp #
• @JonahNRO today: "Obama White House strategy is rhetorical version of Keynesianism: more you spend, bigger the payoff." http://bit.ly/dhk6mY #
• @culturepulp Another blow to childhood hero-worship: Harrison Ford is a chest-waxing cheeseburger-scarfing enviro-Tom: http://is.gd/9gaFc #
• @culturepulp What, no c&fatboy podcast today? #
• @JonahNRO My 6YO loves RocknRoll Queen by The Subways and, weirdly, Don't fight It by Kenny Loggins and Steve Perry. in reply to JonahNRO #
• @JonahNRO Best Ramones song for this is Do You Wanna Dance, but my kids also love Twisted Sister's We're Not Gonna Take It + I Wanna Rock in reply to JonahNRO #
• @JonahNRO Last suggestion, one I'm sure you already have covered in spades: MR. ROBOTO. Had my daughter speaking Japanese @ age 3. Have fun. in reply to JonahNRO #
• Absolutely withering EU Parliment action: http://youtu.be/bypLwI5AQvY Make the U.S. seem quite prude given our political outrages. #
• This Nigel Farage guy needs to be verbed. See Blair get #faraged! See Sarkozy get #faraged! See entire EU get #faraged! http://bit.ly/aVuwk2 #
• @culturepulp Song from ZD's neat MWard album She&Him Vol1 (Vol2 coming next month). You might like this tv showtune : http://bit.ly/6r3zc8 in reply to culturepulp #
• US court rules 'Zombies have free speech rights' : http://bit.ly/93BEWm via @jonahNRO at The Corner #
• Obama's anecdotal analogy at Health Summit reveals he doesn't get how basic car insurance works. Really? Tom Maguire : http://bit.ly/9TAdXI #
• Tonight's shitty DVD: #Whiteout http://bit.ly/bMHIL0 Pro: Kate Beckinsale Con: Since The Thing 82 why bother making movie set in Antarctica? #
• #Whiteout No matter how well intentioned, starting shootout on plane above arctic wasteland will never turn out how you hoped. Bad start. #
• Maybe the title #Whiteout refers to the opaque fast-drying liquid that should have been applied liberally to first 10 pages of screenplay. #
• Apparently in #Whiteout Beckinsale works in beatnik rebel commune on Hoth. At least they had good sense to cut right to underwear scenes. #
• #Whiteout It's her last mission, what could possibly go wrong? When do we as weary audience declare, "We're getting too old for this shit?" #
• Speaking of Hoth, in #Whiteout Kris Kristofferson looking suspiciously like Wampa snow beast. #
• I smell in 1st 15mins #Whiteout is another preachy Eco-thriller. Has to be better than "Chaos Theory," which defied conventional awfulness. #
• She picked remote post to escape ghosts of past. Ironically, now she must face them! Suspect this plot was assembled by $50 software app. #
• Kristofferson in #Whiteout should know that Hoth base has successful history of creating prosthetic hands, no need for drastic measures. #
• Have to admit now that I have beet on my side the actual whiteout fight scene in #Whiteout was silly fun and not something I've seen before. #
• Have to admit now that I have beer on my side the actual whiteout fight scene in #Whiteout was silly fun and not something I've seen before. #
• Eco-preachiness in #Whiteout limited to gratuitous idiotic one-liner. Movie isolates its badness in hackneyed plot, CGI breath effects. #
• Let me correct myself. That was Tom Skeritt NOT Kris Kristofferson in #Whiteout. Those two have melded into a oneness worthy of Krishna. #
