I’m quite the fan of Korean cinema these days. On occasion some folks ask me for recommendations but I tend to not remember the titles as much as I do the stories.
So, here are a couple of lists of top ten movies from Korea made in the first decade of the 21st century. I’ve seen about half of these myself and will be getting the rest into my Netflix queue today. Enjoy–I think you’ll find most of these better than the crap Hollywood is putting out these days.
I posted yesterday about the close race for the Kennedy Senate seat in Massachusetts between Martha Coakley and her Republican opponent Scott Brown.
Well, the gloves have really come off now. In a bold move Coakley accused Brown supporter Curt Schilling of being a “Yankees fan“. I’m not sure there is any lower blow than that in a state renowned for it’s crazed Red Sox fans. And Schilling is not taking the insult lying down:
Mr. Schilling, who helped Senator John McCain win the New Hampshire primary in 2008 by campaigning with him there, and who has been supporting Mr. Brown, fired back on his own blog. “I’ve been called a lot of things,’’ he wrote, “but never, and I mean never, could anyone ever make the mistake of calling me a Yankee fan. Well, check that, if you didn’t know what the hell is going on in your own state maybe you could….”
When will the politics of personal destruction end? I mean, Schilling is the man who put the “red” in Red Sox:
Frankly, I don’t think Coakley’s low blow even dignifies a response from Schilling. But I’ll suggest one anyway:
“Hey Coakley! You can kiss my Red Sox ass!”
