Agent yellow? Really?

I thought it was a great movie personally. Funny, this is the second time recently that I've found myself on MB defending a Bong Joon Ho movie from someone who seems to just not get his aesthetic or his tone.

A Tale of Two Sisters got me floored

Naturally, if you're particularly interested and haven't yet seen it, the Franco Zeffireli mini-series Jesus of Nazareth is a must-see, though it's very long (5 or 6 hours, split into four episodes) and of course the musical Jesus Christ Superstar is great too, with an interesting take on Judas. If you want a laugh, and have not yet seen it, Monty Python's Life of Brian is a hilariously irreverent take on the whole story. There was also a miniseries called I think just The Bible a while back, which was very good too.

I've seen Life of Brian. I even had it on VHS as a kid.
I haven't seen any of the rest or even heard about most of them, so here's some IMDB work for me to do. Anything that seems interesting will go on my watch list. The only thing here I have my reservations about right off the bat is Jesus Christ Superstar. I like a good musical but oh boy do most of them suck.

I hate this.

I don't like it = You just don't "get it".

Frowny and others here hate Marillion.

Obviously, ya'll just don't get their music.

It's not the fact that you don't like it though, it's your explanation of why you don't like it that makes me suspect you're not catching the director's intent.

I don't really know Marillion so I can't comment on them specifically, but I can think of many examples of music I once disliked that it took me gaining a better understanding of for me to embrace it.

You just won't understand a movie like The Host until you've seen it like I've seen it.

If it's any consolation, I loved Snowpiercer.
