B, I would have thought you were aware of this. I have been likewise berated after mocking commenters who obsessively mention the "novel" or the "manga" as the holy grail by which all things to come in a series or movie can be known or explained.

The impression I get is that these people think one should watch a live-action show with the novel/manga/manhwa in one hand for quick reference. They regularly attribute characterization, actions, and behaviors to info from the source that is included NOWHERE in the film/series.

It's insane.

Those people are idiots. Since when has a live-action, fictional adaptation not had the responsibility to stand on its own as a distinct, complete work, unreliant on anyone having read the source material? Since never, is when.

Some adaptations are loosely "based on," some are faithful reproductions almost frame-by-frame, some change some elements but not others, and others use the source only as inspiration for a work that goes off in all kinds of new directions.

This obsession with the source mangas/novels/mahwa, whatever is something I never saw before stumbling into MDL.

The whole tone of the episode, and of the series itself, is all over the place. What was with the camp telenovela…
Mainly, I'm bored.

He brought that old man aura to life in Moonlight Chicken and what's with your obsession with Earth acting as…
You're incoherent and hysterical, seeking out conflict where there is none.
YOU are the only person in this thread who has said anything about Earth's looks, one way or the other, numbskull.
YOU are the one who keeps referring to a 40-year-old man as "old," no one else.
Earth is very handsome. I have always thought so. You should take your mindless, fangirling somewhere where people might actually pay attention to it.
The last good thing Earth was in was Moonlight Chicken.
It is entertaining that GMMTV's failure to properly use his talents has made you into a crazy, spittle-spewing weirdo.

"...then don't stop others from enjoying beautiful boys."
This nonsense again.
How, exactly, am I "stopping" anyone from doing anything?

Title Fuan No Tane
What a wonderful and bizarre little horror film.
I first began watching loads of Asian films and series not quite four years ago. I'm pretty sure it has taken all that time to get me to a head-place where I can enjoy this kind of wild-ass Japanese weirdness.

Low budget, a few plot holes sure, but overall, I recommend. The twisted visions and macabre sensibility make up for what the film lacks in the way of $$$.

8.5/10

Clearly, you're not capable of understanding my above comment, which already, directly addresses the point you think you're making. Gay-baiting a non-gay show is the OPPOSITE of effective marketing. Don't be disingenuous.

Quoting Thai directors, the creators of the most banal, poorly-written, badly acted, and nonsensical BLs on the planet, in support of the awesomeness of Nanon does exactly the opposite of what you think it does.

And of course, we all know directors say EXACTLY what they really think in public interviews, fan events, etc.

You were so disgusted and horrified that you watched the entire movie. Got it.

Scared the shite out of me. Love it.

I almost dropped it about a quarter of the way in; I just wasn't feeling it. But then, certain things came to light and all of a sudden I could not look away from the screen; a state of being which stuck with me until the end of the film.

I'm American and have seen The Blair Witch Project three or four times, appreciating it more with each watch over the years. I was thrilled with the references/homages to TBWP in this film, not only because they were there but because they intensified the horror and moved the action forward significantly. In other words, the references weren't just thrown in as insider-ish schtick for those in the know. You don't have to have seen Blair Witch to be thrilled by this film, but having done so will notch up the terror even more.

9.5/10

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO FANS OF SUPERNATURAL HORROR, MY FAVE KIND.
I am much more frightened by what I sense or suspect but cannot see than I am by the visible, such as slasher-killers, chainsaws, and machetes.

Trash is best on mdl.
I'm not sure what you mean by this, so I'll clarify my own comment.
I meant that when it comes to ratings on MDL, up is down and down is up/east is west and vice-versa.

The better a show is, the lower it's MDL rating will be and vice-versa. Is there some overall MDL top 25 list I'm not aware of? I'm guessing that list would be my own bottom 25.

Can't really believe how this one has lower rating than most of the mediocre shows out there with mediocre cringy…
All the things you listed are why its MDL rating is low, not high. This is MDL, after all.

My Mom's Lover is so hilariously bad it's good. I love the woman presenter/narrator who passes prim judgement on the moral failings and evil behaviors of the various protagonists. lol
The Filipinos are really good at this sort of shriekingly melodramatic silliness.

Everything about the episode was outrageously predictable but the two actors are hot and the mom is beautiful, so even watching them act badly and spout the nonsense dialogue was a sort of hot, enjoyable absurdity. lol

Well done, Philippines! :)

I also found the first episode a bit slow but I don't think this harsh assumption for the entire show is accurate…
Yeah, cause checking a profile is so complicated.
Anyway, this has grown tiresome.

You say dramatic, I say creative.

You didn't answer my question: How do you determine if you're talking to a mature, well-written 12-year-old who says they're 19?

You think people under 18 don't curse and talk about sex?
It's fun probing you're mindset. You get prickly when your assumptions are challenged.
I didn't accuse you of anything in my comment above.
