Live Sushi


There's not much to say about "Oldboy" that hasn't already been described, praised, or critiqued by today's media. The movie, part of a vengeance trilogy, has created waves of controversy due to its graphic violence and taboo themes.
Because this blog basks on blood baths, it's time to focus on more subtle notes of nausea-producing imagery. In the following clip, Oh Dae-Su munches on a live squid while Mi-do stares at him aghast. Squid is considered by many countries to be a delicious meal, but eating a moving, squishy, gray, and stretchy creatures before it hits the skillet (or meets the knife) is bound to make some folks queasy.
