Me too! Was very cool to finally see Gyllenhaal's character too, even if it was only a glimpse.

Hard to believe it got booed at Cannes... but then again, so do so many other great films. :rolleyes:

Haven't been reading that much about it but isn't this the movie they booed because it was a Netflix movie and not showed in cinemas?

They didn't boo it because it was bad did they?

Oh, really? I just heard it got booed and I assumed it was because they thought the film was bad.

Still a pretty silly excuse to boo a film IMO, but thanks for clearing that up! :thumbs:

Yeah, I'm looking up the articles I read in Norwegian press now. People booed the Netflix logo when it appeared + people booed when the film was shown in the wrong aspect ratio, lol!

The jury chair man this year Pedro Almodóvar had said that films should be screen at cinemas if they wanted to be considered.

Interesting! Not too surprising it got booed then I guess.

Thanks again for sharing. :)

@spass @Noodles I dont know if you guys heard, but local theatre chains in South Korea are not supporting this release. 3 of their biggest theatres refused to show this across the country. I'm assuming the small theatres will. I think the reason was they wanted to exclusively show this for 2-3 weeks before it gets a wide release on the internet/Netflix on June 28th (especially since the Director is S.Korean). But apparently Netflix refused that.

As for me, i'm not even gonna bother to watch the second trailer since i know for a fact i'll be watching this :D

Since it's a Netflix film funded by themselves, then they obviously have every right to want to show it exclusively through their service... I don't understand why cinemas are so surprised/upset over that, but hey-ho!

I'll definitely be watching it as soon as it hits Netflix too. ;)

I can completely understand Netflix point of view and why they wouldnt wanna accept that deal; but i can also understand the theatre chains' point of view. For starters, it's their very own S.Korean director making a big budget/Hollywood film. So i'm sure they feel proud and want some sort of exclusivity. And from a business point of view, they are probably afraid that if they support this, then it will serve as a way for Netflix and other streaming services to follow suit and eventually leading to less people showing up in theatres.

Yesterday, i read an article that said online streaming services will overtake theatre box office by 2020 in UK. So yea, i can see every theatre chain across the world trying to make deals like these.
 
I thought this was absolutely amazing.
It weird, wonderful, sad, funny and the music is great too.

All the cast are perfect and I've never seen jake Gyllenhaal play a character like this before. Couldn't stop laughing

Thanks mate. I'm on night shifts this week and could have seen it in the early ours on the work computer or my iPad but I need to finish the last season of House of Cards, besides, this one I want to see at home on my 65" with lots of sound:)

Lol, yeah, I understand that after the little I have deliberately read about it.

Nah, not yet... keep meaning to watch it but just haven't been in the mood for this sort of film lately unfortunately. I'll definitely get around to it soon though, as it's a film I've really been looking forward to checking out!

I have no doubt about that dude... I love Jake in everything! Even in films I don't necessarily like, he still provides a great/memorable performance. :)

Speaking of which... you ever seen Bubble Boy?

Haven't seen it yet because my wife's not really into "strange" films. I usually have to wait until she goes to bed to watch those. :p

I can't wait to see it, though! I loved both The Host and Snowpiercer and this looks fantastic!
