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.

She's yours? Ok Stan.

She'll have the effect of making Netflix's own content more likeable instead 🤗 (*please* Netflix!)
Yesterday, a nominee for Korean culture minister (Yu In-chon) stated intention to make K-content more appealing internationally - this is more likely to alter the landscape, if it tries to steer towards the masses it's likely to compromise the things we currently love, but let's see. He wants to export even more. It could become like Japan, which generated a stereotypical set of genres for export to the 'taste' of international viewers, themes that tended to pervade everything: Anime, violence, sex - although more healthy stuff is also coming through now thanks to Netflix.

No, I read stories all the time on MDL with that exact title.... actress (whoever) marries non-celebrity bf. All the time.

Handsome guy, who says it's all about about money and influence? Maybe he's got a big johnson.

Ha ha. It's shit. The Independent is one of many papers that trashed Emily in Paris when it came out... because the real Paris isn't so sparkly... and all her boyfriends were white. Ha ha, whilst the rest of the world of normal people just enjoyed a nice TV show, these dummies with an agenda had to try to ruin it.

Right. Cue the bitter disapprovals from the feminists. Definition of a feminist: a woman without femininity, or an effeminate man.

True... But who doesn't believe people should do what works best for them? Poor little 'women'?

*You're* right. At least the Americans know how to speak English.

You mean 'expert' singular. That's a pretty biased article. From a shit newspaper , just sayin'.

Spoiler alert.
