I was going to watch the Last Airbender movie last night but I ended up not watching it. Not exactly breaking news, I know, but I just wanted to make sure you were updated in the dizzying heights and plummeting lows of my life. And the stuff in-between if I have anything to say about it.

Oh, I want to share a movie recommendation. Oldboy. A Korean film that came out in 2003. It's a part of the Vengeance Trilogy. If you've managed to hear about the trilogy without knowing what Oldboy is, I commend you for astounding powers of negligence once unheard of. The basic gist of it is that a man gets kidnapped and put away for 15 years and, when released, has 5 days to find his captor.

The jail they keep him in mimics a room. Couch and tv, calendar, slightly discomforting color arrangements like a cheap motel, and a shower. There is one large metal door that separates him from the outside world, and they give him food through a metal slot that opens at the bottom. The same exact dish three times a day, every day, for fifteen years.

It is very ill. Very bracing and awesome.

While we're on the subject of foreign films, I'd also like to put Amelie, Let The Right One In, The Science of Sleep, and City of Lost Children up for consideration. If you like Ron Perlman, btw, definitely check out City of Lost Children. It's one of his earlier films and dude's parleying in French.

Oh as a side note. For anyone that's curious about the level bump in your profiles with the Experience mod, the point values for posts were adjusted like two or three days ago. I think that the point values are there to stay, and soon we'll be getting a Shop mod that will make it all the more pimp. So keep your eyes peeled for that!
