- RT @d_the_bi: 니가 말하는 그 ‘포괄적 차별 금지’가 두루뭉술하게 차별하면 안된다는 얘기라면 이미 기존 헌법에도 있음. 대체 개헌안에 이런 저런 세분화된 분류를 넣는 이유가 뭐라고 생각함? 4 hours ago
- RT @psychokinesis23: 그냥 시대가 이렇다. 페미니즘 자체에 대한 집착과 환상을 버리고 이제 이름없는 정확한 연대를 통해 모든 사람의 실존에 보다 큰 힘이 되어줄 수 밖에... 4 hours ago
- RT @psychokinesis23: 어쩔 수 없다. 레즈비언을 제외한 퀴어들은 트위터에서 더욱 위태로워졌고 페미니즘과의 거리두기를 통해 본인들의 안전을 최우선으로 지켜야 할 시기다. 정체성을 용서치 않는 다수와 싸워 이기기는 어려운 일이니까. 4 hours ago
- RT @BrokebackDaddy: 취약하고 불안정해보이는 사람을 보면 일단 놀리고 괴롭히거나 아니면 꼬드겨서 자기 이익을 위해 이용하고 버리거나 뭐 그런 생각 밖에 안 들어요? 다른 사람이랑 같이 사는 게 가능해요? 4 hours ago

Murder on the Orient Express (2017) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Slick but passable
I remember well when I read Agatha Christie’s classic mystery novel “Murder on the Orient Express” for the first time. I was a 9-year-old boy who devoured many various mystery novels ranging from Sherlock Holmes to Philip Marlowe, and that … Continue reading
Snowpiercer (2013) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4) : A dark journey on the New Ice Age Express
I know it is a cliché, but I must say this; “Snowpiercer” is something we do not come across often in the movie theaters nowadays. This is a smart, compelling science fiction film which can intrigue us with its futuristic … Continue reading
The Lone Ranger (2013) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Meet an overblown oddball western
“The Lone Ranger” has several moments of unadulterated fun although it is messy and uneven on the whole. It is not as bad as some reviewers said, and it is certainly nice to hear William Tell Overture being pumped up … Continue reading
Transsiberian (2008) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4) : A wintry thriller on the Transsiberian Express
“Transsiberian” is a Hitchcockian thriller decorated with icy wintry landscapes, and it is a good example. It sets its tone right at the beginning, and then it carefully develops its unstable feeling as loading the story and the characters on … Continue reading

I Wish (2011) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4) : Two little brothers reaching for miracle
“I Wish” is a gentle, funny, poignant, sensitive, insightful and optimistic story about two little brothers reaching for miracle. Although I missed the chance to watch it when it was released at South Korean theaters around the end of the … Continue reading
Source Code (2011) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4) : Clever SF thriller within repeated 8 minutes
Above all, “Source Code” is something I welcome without hesitation: a smart SF thriller with efficiency and skills. Its scientific settings are a little too shaky and ambiguous, and, to be frank with you, I had to operate some parallel … Continue reading
