I'm trying to stay in the habit of posting something, so here's more random martial arts and history stuff.
While reading through a Korean book on traditional martial arts, I ran across a brief description of a hwarang legend that I thought I would translate and post. Like all good legends, it's slightly fucked up.
My friend once had to chance to ask the great Korean director Park Chan-wook a question when he was promoting "박쥐" ("Thirst") here in Honolulu. "Why," he asked, "aren't there decent Korean science-fiction movies?"
This SF/Fantasy/Action film does not provide a counter-example. I would have to say this movies takes Korean SF to a new low. The plot is absolutely incomprehensible -- the only reason I have the slightest clue what was happening was because of the synopsis printed on the Netflix sleeve. To crib from Statler and Waldorf, it's best point is the relatively short running time of 80 minutes.
Hmmm . . . am I able to post now? Do I need to worry about posts being lost as updates are made?
Welcome to the new site.
Consider it a beta while I work out the bugs.
There are 4 accounts, me, john, jenny, autumn.
Not sure if the latter two even come here anymore.

I still know there are some things I need to work on. Specifically the overall structure and rebuilding the menu.
John & Will (Possibly the only two people to visit the site)
