    simplest way, would be to change your browser character encoding Korean (uhc or euc kr) if that doesn't help...

    Since I'm not a windows user, I'm not quite sure what the actual problem could be that characters of East Asian languages don't show for you.
    Maybe checking your font settings, and install unicode fonts, or I've heard that unchecking the 'hide fonts based on language settings' also solved the issue for some. Or deleting the font cache, and restarting your pc..

    Thank you for that recommendation....not quite as good as "Kung Fu Hustle"...but it was entirely enjoyable.

    The last three movies I saw in the theater were, The Social Network, True Grit and The Fighter. They were worth the cost of a ticket and highly entertaining.

    The last movie I rented was, The Town. If you haven't seen it, you should. It is one of the best movies I ever saw. It never gets boring.

    The Town was entertaining. Not quite worth a second watch though.

    The most recent flick I watched was Black Swan. Utterly boring.

    It's seldom I care to watch a movie twice. If I do, it's usually a comedy.

    The movies I would recommend based on the fact I've watched them again are, Victor-Victoria, Captain Ron, Ruthless People, The Big Lebowski, Second Hand Lions, Couple's Retreat, Sahara, Regarding Henry, Blast From the Past, Rain Man, A Fish Called Wanda, True Lies, Almost Famous, Joy Luck Club, Gran Torino, Across the Universe, Training Day, Same Time Next Year, Harold & Maude, Earth and Oceans. Of course there are more, but these are the movie titles that come to mind without too much struggle

    I doubt I will ever rent Black Swan.

    What! You omitted Grease? One of my faves.

    Do you by any chance remember, Paint Your Wagon? I think I'll watch that one again just so I can laugh at them!

    The Social Network was booooring. Way overrated.

    I didn't think it was boring. I thought the screenplay was very well done, and kept a boring theme from being anything but boring.

    I've been busy watching every season of The Office, UK and US versions.

    But I'll take a look when I get home.

    Yeah, haven't seen that one, but don't have any plans to. Just not seeing the appeal - Facebook itself is fucking boring, much less a movie about Facebook. And anyway, what is the premise? College kids make successful website, learn some lessons about business and life on the way? :SNORE:

    I feel the same way....while I like "RottenTomatos" as good source...they give it a 98%....I'm not sure.

    Right now I've got "The Town" and "Boondocks Saints" on the que...thanks to these recommendations.

    I had to go back and see what I recommended, I found all these:

    127 Hours
    Touch of Evil - recut version
    Storytelling
    Aftershock (A bit of a propaganda piece, but a heartwarming tearjerker with epic disaster scenes)
    Children of Men
    My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done?
    The Ladykillers
    A Serious Man
    Dogtooth (2009)
    City of Ember (2009)

    And on this occasion I will add:

    The Holy Mountain (1973) Alejandro Jodorowsky

    A psychedelic mindfuck of epic proportions. Here is a scene (some nudity):
