Where is the communication? You can't say one thing to the press and then do the opposite without people getting confused or upset....<br /><br />Plus the Korea Times article this week makes my blood boil. It's not that difficult to check your facts... John Redmond really got my hopes up again...<br /><br />As for a petition or someone to write to, I'll try and establish contact and then let you know how things go. I really want this subtitle program to work.Paul Ajosshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06419722669640238351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2223895036811635558.post-76074408325042394242009-05-08T18:36:00.000+09:002009-05-08T18:36:00.000+09:00Drat - I was excited by this initiative, and espec...Drat - I was excited by this initiative, and especially the prospect of seeing a subtitled Thirst on the Big Screen. Is there a council email address you'd suggest people send their comments about this to? In more positive news, the Mirospace screenings this weekend (8 - 10 May) sound promising. Thanks for keeping us updated.Ben Cowburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02449124360463412196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2223895036811635558.post-87958429966100319982009-05-08T13:14:00.000+09:002009-05-08T13:14:00.000+09:00we should start a petition insisting that a foreig...we should start a petition insisting that a foreigner be included in all decisions that are supposedly made for our benefit. well, movies, at least.adhaglinhttp://gyeongseo.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2223895036811635558.post-58205865079313700552009-05-08T00:51:00.000+09:002009-05-08T00:51:00.000+09:00A very odd decision indeed.

I finally managed to speak to someone from Cinus on the phone today and they once again confirmed that there will be no subtitled screenings of Thirst or Insadong Scandal. They were also surprised when I mentioned that there was no way for non-korean speaking foreigners to access screening times on their website... An enlightening conversation...Paul Ajosshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06419722669640238351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2223895036811635558.post-15854237061712792362009-05-07T14:32:00.000+09:002009-05-07T14:32:00.000+09:00seconded. this makes about as little sense as just...seconded. this makes about as little sense as just about anything i've witnessed in my 4+ years here. why start a highly publicized campaign to open theatrical releases to a broader audience, and then ignore the biggest release of the year thus far? not to mention, it's a film that is made by one of the handful of korean directors who have a good reputation, and, one could even say, a devoted following outside of korea. i have to think there's some bigger reasoning here other than 'they just decided not to'. korea sparkling fail.adhaglinhttp://gyeongseo.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2223895036811635558.post-40619651665218154272009-05-05T04:59:00.000+09:002009-05-05T04:59:00.000+09:00Who knows?
