I heard that D-war's director (that nutjob) had some deal with Sony that went way back, hence all the advertising. Beyond that I have no idea --- even The Host, a monster movie I think that was quite marketable in the US on a grander scale (and far more subtle and palatable) didn't get this much PRing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975188525156028889.post-24447753898261641982007-09-22T22:02:00.000+09:002007-09-22T22:02:00.000+09:00I'll never, for the life of me, understand how a B...I'll never, for the life of me, understand how a BRILLIANT movie like 'Old Boy' was not marketed in the U.S. but crap like 'D-Wars' gets the luxury of being heralded as "the biggest Korean movie in the U.S. ever". God, the injustice. Why is it never movies like 'Sympathy for Lady Vengeance' that get the attention in the U.S. but badly acted, un-intelligent nonsense like 'D-Wars'? It's irresponsible of Korean filmmakers as far as I'm concerned. They either lack artistic vision (not being able to tell crap from real art) or they think Americans are dumb and will just run after whatever has the biggest budget and the most special effects.<BR/><BR/>Sadly, I think it's the latter. They think we are too stupid to know what good movies are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
