Therefore you are incorrect, multiple times, in your assertion that it is not "arthouse". The Alamo Drafthouse is the cornerstone of Austin repertory cinema scene (Arbor and The Dobie being other examples). Only a complete moron would argue otherwise.

    Babble your nonsense about rottentomatoes.



    Oh wait, but there's more...





    Wait for it, wait for it....yes, there's more...





    ...you dumb mother fucker.
    1.Why would I stop using rottentomatoes as a source when that was his intitial source....
    2. You still wont touch my questions, in fear of breaking your own arguement
    3. You so obnoxiously quoted this: roadly, to include foreign-language (non-English) "auteur" films, independent films, experimental films, documentaries and short films. In the 1960s "art film" became a euphemism in the U.S. for racy Italian and French B-movies. By the 1970s, the term was used to describe sexually explicit European films with artistic structure such as the Swedish film I Am Curious (Yellow). In the U.S., the term "art film" is sometimes used very loosely to refer to the broad range of films shown in repertory theaters or "arthouse cinemas." With this approach, a broad range of films, such as a 1960s Hitchcock film, a 1970s experimental underground film, a European auteur film, a U.S. "Independent" film, and even a mainstream foreign-language film (with subtitles) might all fall under the rubric of "art house films.

    Yet it falls under none, except the last one... which says a. Might fall under and b. loosely applied to... when anyone can tell you, this isn't an arthouse movie.

    4. Notice Prince backed out... because his line of reasoning has been disproved. And he was claiming other reasons for being an arthouse.
    5. In your own quote from wikipedia... I once edited Metal Maniacs wikipedia to say he was thrown into a volcano and reformed as Vader.
    6. Enjoy you infraction, hopefully more people give you one, so you end up banned.

    Hmmmm....I sense a trend with these.

    LOL - this page is funny.

    ISTD is in no way, shape or form an arthouse film.

    Just because some "reviewer" says it is, doesn't make it so.

    Arthouse - lol, Orson Welles will be turning in his grave love.

    Oh, and PS.

    Definition for arthouse:
    An art film (also known as “art movie”, “art house film”, or in the collective sense as art cinema) is typically a serious, noncommercial, independently made film aimed at a niche audience rather than a mass audience....

    Explain to me exactly HOW I Saw The Devil is an independent, niche film, when it was one of the highest grossing Korean flicks ever, as well as being one of the most expensive to make ?

    Smacks of commercialism to me.

    Get a Grip....

    It could be the highest grossing, biggest budget film in Korea and that's both meaningless to its status in the US market as well as the context of this thread. You also didn't read enough of what you quoted or just simply didn't process it so maybe try again, mate.

    The context of this thread ?

    Being what exactly ?

    A discussion on a Foreign Movie that was dragged into the ridiculous tangent of being likened to an arthouse movie ?

    It's status in the US market ? So, because it's only got a small distribution in the mighty US, that automatically makes it a niche film ?

    How far up your own arse can you get ?

    I think we should just consider the flick a good foreign film and leave it at that. Whether it's "arthouse" or not really doesn't matter and is simply just a matter of opinion in the end.

    Aw, you just taking his word for it or can you not understand what he didn't understand either? It's pretty funny, considering he quoted a subset of exactly the reference I used, only he either conveniently didn't read passed the first paragraph, thinking it said the same words repeated for four or five pages, or because he actually knew that further reading meant his whole post meant sweet fuck all but he couldn't let that get in the way of his lame attempt to take a piss.
    Or maybe y'all really are just that stupid.
