Out of all the Korean films, you'd expect this one to be well-known. But no, it's... none of them.

Well, there's that animated one that's getting a pretty big international re-release.
9:53pm
Eric Perazzo
You mean the live action remake of Akira, set in San Francisco?
I think that's a thing...
9:54pm
[deadname] Anderson Taylor
It is, unfortunately, but I meant "Leafie, a Hen into the Wild".
9:55pm
Eric Perazzo
Is that like Ivy the Kiwi? (?)
9:56pm
[deadname] Anderson Taylor
I don't think so?
9:58pm
Eric Perazzo
Well, looking at the image search results- Aww. Well, it's got kind of almost exactly the same background, which is how I pictured it, but the animation style is way different.
9:59pm
[deadname] Anderson Taylor
I hear really good things about it, but have yet to see it myself.
9:59pm
Eric Perazzo
The more I look at it, the more I really really wouldn't mind seeing it too much.
10:00pm
[deadname] Anderson Taylor
I need to get to watching it some day as well.

Oh wow, I see what you mean.
10:03pm
Eric Perazzo
Poor Ivy?, though.
10:04pm
[deadname] Anderson Taylor
Yeah.
10:05pm
Eric Perazzo
Haha, oh man, Akira...
10:05pm
[deadname] Anderson Taylor
It sounds so awful, but I admit I haven't looked into its development much.
10:06pm
Eric Perazzo
Mm, just the idea of it.
It's great that Hollywood still finds time to pull crap like that.
10:07pm
[deadname] Anderson Taylor
Yeah. They seem pretty terrified to do anything more daring than remakes, sequels, and re-tooling franchises lately, so it's exciting to see them do just that, in a way that seems riskier than just making an original product.
10:08pm
Eric Perazzo
The internet allows terrific word-of-mouth, so they're more concerned with quality now more than ever before.
But sometimes...
10:09pm
[deadname] Anderson Taylor
Yeah, I'll kind of agree with you there.
10:09pm
Eric Perazzo
But better sequels!
Fast Five was the best in the franchise.
10:10pm
[deadname] Anderson Taylor
I wouldn't know.
10:10pm
Eric Perazzo
Well, it's honestly not saying very much, but still...
It's fun, at least.
10:11pm
[deadname] Anderson Taylor
Which is good. Seems a lot of people aren't interested in fun anymore.
10:12pm
Eric Perazzo
It's a racing heist film. It'd kind of have to be.
10:13pm
[deadname] Anderson Taylor
That does indeed make it sound pretty sweet. Then again, a lot of sports films became very serious and dramatic lately.
10:14pm
Eric Perazzo
Huh, I suppose so. No more "bend It Like Beckham"s, eh?
mmm, capitalization way off there.
10:15pm
[deadname] Anderson Taylor
Yeah, it's all inspirational tear-jerking "based on a true story" stuff now.
10:16pm
Eric Perazzo
Not so much tear-jerking as... Well, there was Rudy.
But it's more... serious, as of late.
10:18pm
[deadname] Anderson Taylor
Yeah. Not to say that some of those aren't good, though.
10:18pm
Eric Perazzo
Happy Oscar day.
10:19pm
[deadname] Anderson Taylor
Yep. Oh well.
