I just noticed the 'Mark Mothersbaugh' tag. I'm not sure if that's intentional or not, but it's hilarious.

You think the geeks follow or care about Swedish cinema? Hell no, but since it has vampires, oooh! It is sad.

It's such a shame to be seeing Thirst get such a big marketing push in America and Mother not even picking up a distributor.
It's a great film, but sadly it seems there is no big interest Asian cinema among the indie distribution crowd if it doesn't involve the paranormal in some way.
I guess you can say that about all foreign cinema though, looking at how much bigger a push Let the Right One In received than anything else last year.
