Where Do I Go From Here?

I need suggestions. As I've said before, I have become ridiculously addicted to K-Dramas. Well now my addiction has grown to include Korean movies as well. And I need more! I'm looking for any quality Korean film. Comedy, action, horror, anything .Just give me a title! So far I've seen I'm a Cyborg But It's Okay, Baby and Me, Attack of the Pin-Up Boys, The Man From No-Where, I Saw The Devil, and My Little Bride. Help me out here people!

Adventures in *Con!

Dragon*Con called and I answered. My friends Bones, RJ and I drove up to ATL (have any of you been to Atlanta? The traffic there is insane!) on Thursday and just got back on Tuesday (home sweet sanity). And I'm very glad to be back. Don't get me wrong, I had an awesome time, but I ran out of cash on Saturday. (It was only the goodwill of my BFF Bones that kept me from starving.) This trip had only one goal for me: meet Elvira! (What? She's my childhood hero. I know, I know. What kind of kid's hero is Elvira? Mine!) Everything else was secondary. (Eating was one of those secondary things. It seemed to pale in comparison.)

Day one we went to a horror icons panel featuring  Robert Englund  (Freddy Krueger duh.), Lance Henriksen (of Pumpkinhead & Near Dark fame) and Tony Todd (from Candyman & the Final Destination movies. I have a photo here somewhere... ( <- Tony was hiding behind a podium so I don't have a pic of him. Sorry.) It was at this panel that I made friends with a black clad stranger and the Joker. (Obviously we were very close since I didn't get either of their names but whatever.) That's the beauty of the Con. Making nameless friends. So Black-Hoodie-Punk-Band-Alabamian and Hipster-Joker, here's to you.
We also caught alittle of Sylvester McCoy's panel (he's an old school Doctor Who and a hobbit in the upcoming The Hobbit movie). He was rather charming I must say. (Could've been because he has that adorable Scottish accent though.) After that RJ insisted we go to a Farscape panel. I do like me some Farscape but it was kind of hard to get excited about it without Ben Browder there. (No eyecandy = no happiness.) But Virginia Hey was there telling stories and answering questions so it was interesting.

The rest of the day was spent just wandering from hotel to hotel admiring costumes. (That may not sound like much but let me tell you, you're wrong. For a Floridian, hills are the devil, I come from a flat land! Ugh. ATL can keep it's friggin' hills. The whole damn place must be built on a mountain.) Anyway Stripper-Captain America might just have been my favorite costume. (Nothing says patriotism like a Cap helmet, shield and man-panties.) Sadly I didn't have time to snap a photo of him. (I might've been alittle preoccupied ogling his star-spangled panties.) Though I must say the Sailor Scouts I saw were a very close second. Those ladies get serious points for banking on my Sailor Moon nostalgia. Plus I was rocking my Tuxedo Mask tshirt when I ran into them, so they had to make my top five. (Should I post a picture of the ladies here?)
