So I was driving home today and on my way back, I noticed a bunch of duck crossing and deer crossing signs. Nothing out of the ordinary here in Washington. Suddenly, I noticed a dead pigeon lying on the road. By the time I realized it, I had about a second to process that information before I drove over it. I don’t know my wheels actually rolled over it, but my mind immediately started playing tricks and assumed I did. I didn’t feel any bump or anything, but the moment my wheels would’ve rolled over it, there was a bright flash in my mind and I cringed and almost swerved. For some reason, I just couldn’t focus for that few seconds. It also took some time for me to recover my composure.<\/p>\n
Now I’m trying to remember the recent movie that had a similar line. I’m thinking it’s Oldboy<\/a> when the prison owner was about to take his revenge and pretends to pluck Daesu’s teeth out with a hammer and Daesu screams. The prison owner goes, “Imagination can be such a powerful thing.”<\/p>\n While looking up character names in Oldboy<\/a> on IMDb, I noticed there was going to be a new Oldboy<\/a> movie to be released in 2006. Clicking on it revealed that it’s a remake of a Korean film of the same name, a recently paroled middle-aged man, who spent 15 years in prison without any explanation as to why he was jailed, seeks revenge on those who conspired against him.<\/em> In the trivia section, it states: The original version was a Korean language film based on a Japanese comic book, will be remade by Taiwanese director from Orange County, California.<\/em> I wonder if they’re going to screw this up like many of the other remakes they borrowed from Asia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So I was driving home today and on my way back, I noticed a bunch of duck crossing and deer crossing signs.
