Comments on: Warner Brothers To Remake Chan-Wook Park’s ‘Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance’ https://staging2.theplaylist.net/warner-brothers-to-remake-chan-wook-20100107/ Wed, 11 Nov 2020 09:01:09 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.2 By: dr.strangelove https://staging2.theplaylist.net/warner-brothers-to-remake-chan-wook-20100107/#comment-14971 Sat, 09 Jan 2010 01:59:44 +0000 http://theplaylist.wpengine.com/?p=5131#comment-14971 the only way they're going to stop remaking great films is if people stop going to see the remakes… let's be honest, close to half the audience will probably be fanboys who are only there to judge the remake, which 95% of the time turns out to suck… so in addition to bitching about this (and i'm all for bitching), don't spend money on it, and if your friends mention going, offer to show them the original instead for free at your place (and the remakes of Let the Right One in, and Straw Dogs, and Thirst…)

I can not believe its being remade seeing as how no one will be able to make it feel as raw as Park Chan-wook did.

Weakest.

I strongly disagree, without a doubt the best of the trilogy and easily his strongest film so far. It does not get as bogged down in style as the other two and everything he's done since. Watch it again, I triple dog dare ya

I didn´t like Park´s revenge trilogy, so i have no interest in this shit, but that´s beyond the point.
Someone REALLY needs to star printing t-shirts and pins with "Can´t you read the subtitles?"
