We are an ungrateful nation. That's all we are. We are allowing ambitious prosecutors to harsh the mellow of a man who saved the world, probably more than once, and kept generations of Americans yet unborn from glowing in the dark. Of course, this meant that he didn't have the time to keep tabs on the alleged financial fraud that was being committed in his name because keeping generations of Americans yet unborn from glowing in the dark is a full time job, dammit, and we are an ungrateful nation. |

At this point, 'Republican" is just the name on the label, right there next to the yellow sticker with the skull and crossbones. |

I did club swimming growing up. That's where my body image issues started. I grew up in California, in a surf town, and all the kids on the team swam, surfed, did water polo. I was the only kid on the team who didn't have six-pack abs. I felt very jealous, starting at 12 years old. My body was different; I was active, but I was always a bit chunky, even when I was 15 and swimming 4,000 yards a day. Even from a young age, I had specific ideas about how I wanted my body to look. I hear similar things from a lot of other gay men. |

Like eating a live octopus that wriggles and wraps its tentacles around your face as you chew, viewing Park Chan-Wook's Oldboy is an uncomfortable delicacy. This August, the visceral tale of revenge has been rereleased to American audiences, making over $1 million at the box office—surpassing the cumulative gross of its original 2003 theatrical run. So why, 20 years later, are people lining up to sold-out showings of the film? Rewatching Oldboy in 2023 doesn't feel like revisiting a relic of its time. In our all too censored and sexless modern movie landscape, Park Chan-Wook's masterpiece—with its extraordinarily intentional use of explicit imagery—is suddenly a refreshing watch. |
