Oldboy remains NUMBER ONE at the box office this weekend with 88 MILLIONS of Dollars!!! Sahara is number two with 8 dollars, according to the Tinsel Town Reporter.
What is Oldboy about, again?! Oh Dae-su (Choi Min-sik) is an ordinary Seoul businessman with a wife and little daughter who, after a drunken night on the town, is locked up in a strange, private "prison." No one will tell him why he's there or who his jailer is. The imprisonment last for 15 years until one day when Dae-su finds himself unexpectedly deposited on a grass-covered high-rise roof, determined to discover the mysterious enemy who had him locked up. (Tartan Films)
OLDBOY: this vile, degenerate gutterfuck is my NEW FAVORITE MOVIE too, earning over 88 million: “WOW” and “NO! WAY!” according to me in the last five minutes. Oldboy also marks the first time I’ve ever used bold AND italics AT THE SAME TIME! I’ve elected OLDBOY the pope…of my heart. OLDBOY XVI, I call it sometimes.
Let’s look at what the critics have to say:
“Keep your dick out for OLDBOY…you’re going to need it.”
“The BEST of the Fincher psycho-thrillers meet pre-Hollywood John Woo’s finest moments mixed with a dash of David Lynch, Brian DePalma, and Hitchcock. The main dude is like a KOREAN GARY OLDMAN!”
–Cheap Signifier Press
“This movie is so in love with itself you expect it to end with a shot of all five reels fucking each other on the floor of the projection room.”
Why is Oldboy sooooooso good? Few can say for certain. Let’s do a myspace.com search for people who love Oldboy too: Whoa, Sixty-Five pages?!?@ Here are some fans of Oldboy:
488 Friends!
Sorry ladies: He is STRAIGHT!
Phatty rims, Doug…Doug likes hanging out, Oldboy, and PLAYING THE DRUMS! Yes Way!
See? Everyone agrees! Oldboy is the best!
Here is a fanfic I wrote about Oldboy:
’O Dae-su’, Hypersimulation offered candidly, “Let’s visit the CANDY STORE!!!’
“’Yes, Hypersimulation’, O Dae-su quipped rhetorically, “along the way we shall get into an alley fight with several punks. I have my hammer right here.’” His hammer gleamed in the Seole afternoon sun like a prayer of vengeance to a bloody god covered in brains. But O Dae-su was at peace.
’Amazing!’, noted Hypersimulation conviviallly, squeezing O Dae-su’s hand tighter. "Perhaps we will visit the hypnotist!"
It’s official! Oldboy is my best friend!
