(500) Days of Summer

Angela recommended another great movie.



The trailer keeps saying "this is not a love story", though is it true? In any case, I did enjoy the movie. Very cute. Soundtracks were great too.

I haven't seen many movies that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is in, though just remembered how cute he was in 3rd Rock from the Sun.

last sunday

Last Sunday, we headed to Chinatown to see the Thirst. For us, seeing a Korean movie in theatre is a luxury. This movie was controversial among Korean fans, though for me it was a cute(?) vampire story. I like the way the director throws jokes.


Before the movie, we stopped by New Town Bakery to pick up some steamed buns. I liked spicy pork and pork and vegetable buns. Very simple but good comfort food.



Steamed buns always remind me of Korean winter days. Every winter, there were glass warmers for steamed buns (see the picture below) in front of grocery stores.

I found this old ad image here. I think it's from 1980s. I don't know who owns the copyright as I found the same picture here and there. Since this image is from an ad, maybe nobody cares?

P.S. It is funny that the lady in the picture is now in Vancouver. She is a talented comedian. I ran into her one day and didn't realize it was her. I just thought maybe I knew her as she looked familiar, so I smiled and said hi. She said hi back. Later I remembered her and was glad I didn't ask "Do I know you?"

The Dark Knight

The movie is two and half hours long, however, every minute counts. 
Heath Ledger's Joker is amazing (and disturbing). 

A real blockbuster.

Freaks and Geeks

My friend Shane had recommended this series. I was not sure if I would like it much since I have a different high school experience.
However, I really enjoyed this fun and intellectual sitcoms.
I guess they canceled the second season because it was too radical even in 1999?

It's very sad that the future (which many movies show) is not beautiful.
