Departures is easily my favorite Asian film, but I don't know if it's in your tastes.

Huh. Had not heard of it, but after reading the synopsis, it certainly sounds worth a screening. There's an HK film that I think it would pair beautifully with called Happy Birthday.

I also think you should look into Old Boy, a korean flick about a man that's kidnapped and imprisoned in a room for 15 years, where he teaches himself martial arts through shadow boxing. He's released one day for seemingly no reason, and he flies into a quest for vengeance against whomever did that to him.

One of the best movies I'd ever seen.

Yup, I'm familiar with that one. Oldboy's director, Park Chan-wook, also did a lot of the gritty suspense flicks that really kicked Kang-ho Song's career into high gear (like Thirst, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, and Joint Security Area). He also directed a romantic comedy called (in the English translation) I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK. Which I need to see just for the title alone. xD

I loved his role in Memories of Murder.

Okay, compiled a list of Korean movies for me to procure, so I'll be working on that the next couple of weeks.

I thought it might be fun to have an encore showing of The Good, The Bad and the Weird tonight, partly to see if there's interest and partly to test out the new router (upgraded over the holidays, my DL speeds are 3x higher now, so I'm betting I could stream higher quality without hiccups now). And because it's such a fun movie that it bears repeated viewing.

Scheduled showtime is 10pm EST (3am GMT). Sorry to screw the Europeans over on this one
Link is on the OP now.

I am Interest! Perhaps I might not be Awake, sadly. We shall see.

I really wish Uni classes were nocturnal. Not only would I not miss all these things, but also I'd actually be able to sleep :V

It's Saturday tomorrow, you can sleep in.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Bah, 3am is such a sucky time D:
I'll probably still be up then anyway though

Not the point, I just can't sleep in the night.

[RedKing]

Stream is live, if anyone's interested. Should be much better quality than before.

[darkflagrance]

I must have been the only viewer. :|

Huh....I never actually saw any viewers. Doesn't matter, the stream had no sound. Because...y'know, no *people* to tell me there was no sound.     

Ah well. At least the video looks waaaaay better. Once I get the sound issue worked out, I'll probably restream everything I showed last fall, just to get higher quality archives online.

[Trapezohedron]

I missed the stream? D:

Eff GMT +8; I always miss the good parts on the other side of the world.

[Simmura McCrea]

I was gonna but suddenly it was half 2 and I was really damn tired.
