Fair enough, I hear you

She looks sublime in that photo, truly elegant. She's a goddess.

She was styled a little like Park So-dam in Special Delivery, but with less character - not her fault, she did what was asked of her, it's just the production seemed to be deliberately shallow - even the best swimmers can't do anything in shallow water... so if I saw a great swimmer thrashing in a puddle and someone said "great swimmer" it would make me wonder how that opinion was formed.

Name a scene where the music changed the mood or made an impact. Can't say I noticed the music once. Do you also work for Netflix? I understand they're trying to improve their music, but they have to understand what's wrong before they can fix anything.

Do you work for Netflix? Or is it your first time watching an action movie?

What was great about the performance of JJS? I thought she was ok, what was great about it for you?

He came across as a creep but not menacing. Wasn't this guy an extra before signing a deal with Netflix? I think I liked him in Money Heist until that stupid sex scene, I can't look at him since then 🤮

I don't think this film's advanced her career tbh, the eyes didn't tell a story

Yes, totally. In contrast, I watched A Company Man just now... that's how to tell a story in the same amount of time, polar opposites. These AI generated modern works are pathetic in comparison. From top to bottom.

Tick the spoiler box. Even though this film wasn't my cup of tea I'm not interested in spoiling it for others, that's just selfish.

Did she need to use a flame thrower? Were the baddies as hard to kill as Alien? Was there any symbolic significance to it? There has to be a point otherwise it all looks a bit stupid! 😆 And tbh the bad guys were as clever as AI video game characters, just waiting for their turn to be killed.

Well, I rarely drop movies, this one was so lacking in narrative no subtitles were required. It had less narrative than a shoot-em-up video game (speaking of which, see Carter for a more dynamic film). I didn't want to see the cast of Money Heist reunited so soon after I dropped that too. Finally the Hotel Artemis styling didn't fit, it just looked like a rip off, does Netflix only copy stuff? Bits and pieces ripped off from here and there, Tarantino, Besson, Caro, Jeunet, Jarmusch, et al. Anyway, no pazzazz for me. I'm too old for this I think. It wasn't even sexy, stone cold.

Edit: after writing I realised what I'd forgotten to say. It's fine to copy stylish films, but in so doing, the idea is to make your characters cool and charismatic - narrative is key, otherwise there's no way to express a personality. It comes over like a fashion show with punch ups, shallow style, visuals with no substance.

It could be an algorithm, if enough people flag up a post as spam it gets reviewed. Then the computer can analyse the text (or maybe even a human, idk) and delete. The patterns are simple to detect.

Delusional, I don't care 🤣

Always a pleasure to watch Bae Doona, hope she joins

Wow, so woke, all the same as each other. That's the idea isn't it? Inclusivity is everything... only for people who all think the same way... which means exclusivity to those that don't. I infer that woke people represent exclusivity disguised as inclusivity. Impressive. You're all, like, gaslighters.

So nasty, hope you feel better now. I guess I picked up a stalker - one that does not understand the true meaning of words and injects their own vileness into their unnatural conclusions. Mian, poor you.

I welcome others' views, even long, nonsensical ramblings like yours. My point was that you use buzzword slurs without providing any evidence, you think the buzzword is all you need to prove your woke credentials as part of the group. But should anyone challenge a wokie on what they really mean.... they get mad. Right? 😉

Try not to be nasty. Only woke people call others bigots and racists without reason, it's the wokies' go-to put down to attempt to silence others' views... maybe woke==fascist?

I think the point is that Netflix misses the essence, the magic that drew us to kdramas. They may be turning a corner, but I agree with Antoben's views - they waded in with a pile of cash, hired anyone on the fringes, not the A-players of k-productions and managed to create an Americanised copy of K-drama like a recipe bowl with random snippets thrown in, mixed and churned out. Things are slowly improving. Mask Girl was notable.
