I saw Mother by Bong Joon-ho the other night, highly recommend it. Very fun take on the old whodunnit formula. I've been on a SK film kick lately - I watched Burning a couple weeks ago and I can't believe I hadn't heard of it before now. One of the best movies I've seen in a while. It's on Netflix if you need something to watch.

    Just watched Never Have i Ever. Its a teen drama series that has season 1 on netflix. Indian american family, with kickass daughter being a normal high schooler trying to be cool and date the hot guy, while dealing with overzealous hindu, tiger mom. Pretty funny and cute. There was one annoying political moment though. The history teacher is always teaching about WW2, fascism and the holocaust. He asks the students to list the groups the nazis persecuted, and the list is something like "jews, blacks, handicap, transgender, roma" all identity politics zero mention of socialists, communists or trade unionists.

    Oh, my favorite scene. She goes on a model UN field trip to avoid being grounded and gets revenge on her nemesis boy. He is the US and she is Equatorial Guinea. He has some lame idea for climate change. She announces the US is the main source of the world climate change problem and an intention to nuke the USA. He was expecting cooperation so suprised challenges that she has no nukes. Meanwhile, the dork who is russia had a crush on her, so she offers him her email address is he will allow access to their nukes. So she then announces plans to nuke the usa and and country allied with it. Gets every other country to take her side and start chanting "world war 3, world war 3".
