The Suspect 용의자
#1
The latest rogue agent K-flick. Here's a taste

I'm coining a new phrase - crackhead camerawork. This film would have been great if the damn cameramen had a steady-cam and eased off on the uppers. My lawd. Jiggliest wiggliest camerawork ever, like a quadruple espresso after four rails of blow. So much so that I got sleepy in the first half hour as my eyes adjusted (I have a similar reaction to bad 3D). The action was good, or at least I think it was, what little of it I could see through the crackhead camerawork. The plot got a little convoluted, but I liked the North vs. South Korea politrix. No sword fights. Good hypodermic fights. Great car chases. Lots of snipers who can't hit the side of an airplane hanger at ten paces (but everything was so wiggly-jiggly that I can't say I blame them). I liked the lead Gong Yoo a lot, as well as the sympathetic cop chasing him, played by Park Hee-Soon. And the villain, Jo Sung-Ha, had this annoying laugh that made you want to punch him in the face, which was perfect really. At 2+ hours, this could have used some trimming.

On the way home, barreling down HWY1 at night, I hit a skunk. Cracked my damn splash shield, which I then dragged a good 15 miles until I turned the music down and wondered wtf that sound was. Cost me $120 this morning, plus the morning's work chores. I just got some extra pin money for my royalties and was going to treat myself a nice bottle of whiskey, but no, it went to the damn splash shield. BTW, the shield was $60, but the damn clips were $5 each and it takes like 8 clips. ffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. All the while I was thinking about the car chases in The Suspect. I guess Hyundai is a car maker to be reckoned with nowadays.

Royalties from what? The book? Cool.
So much for the flickr badge idea. Dammit

It still brings in a Benjamin+ a year for me. Not quite enough for a new splash screen, but it would have bought a fine bottle of whisky. Confusedad:

I saw this movie reviewed on a Chinese TV station. They interviewed the actor, showed clips. Looked mighty interesting. I was going to post about it on DOOM about two weeks ago. But then I tracked down the trailer on the web and watched it. Crackhead camerawork. My interest waned. But the lead actor seems charismatic.

Glad your book and DVD is making a splash.
Sorry it isn't enough to cover a splash screen.
I'm nobody's pony.
