City of God is so great. The ending still haunts me from my first viewing. Its power is the reason I walked out of Slum Dog, I think.

Yeah, there's just no comparison.

did you see Oldboy?

[proximoception.livejournal.com]

No. There's all kinds of stuff I haven't seen. I think I dodged that one on hearing it had Audition-level yuck violence?

naw, the violence is tame for Asian standards and average for American. theyre trying to remake it (with Will Smith...), you should see it before it's ruined.
