The North Koreans crack me up. They are without a doubt the most brainwashed people living. It’s good to know there are people out there making worse films than Bollywood. Look at this outstanding lineup of films at the annual film festival. Anyone going? Perhaps HBO will carry some of these thrillers…

Re: Who's Going to the North Korean Film Festival?
This is sad, I mean titles like "To Hold the Fatherly Leader in Higher Esteem," "Under the Care of the Great Brilliant Commander" and "Effecting a Great Turn with Songun Revolutionary Leadership," sound like they were personally written and directed by L'il Kim himself. :p
Re: Who's Going to the North Korean Film Festival?
Dont feel sorry for them, Amitabhachan is staring in the first film and there will be plenty pof dancing and singing in the second because it is a musical directed by andrew Lloyd Webber and the third is a "who dunnit" with Brad pit and sharon stone, hugh grant and Jeremy Irons.
Re: Who's Going to the North Korean Film Festival?
^does sharon stone take her clothes off in the whodunit, and does jeremy irons poke hugh the wrong way, mistaking him for a damsel like the way he did in "madame butterfly?" If so, i will see the film.
