Asian ERA |OT| We don't AGE

I'm over 30 and still rocking the ABG makeup. Don't care at all.
Reading the music from an open laptop? Get a tablet for heaven's sake.
EDIT: the comments on that video are actually worth reading.

She's been in porn (and still is, I think?) and TrumpSC (name before the orange turd) is a really big Hearthstone Twitch streamer.
Ah, I indulge in neither western porn or watching other people play video games.
The news about the Jakarta flooding is freaking me out. It always floods around this time of year but apparently this is the worst one yet. My family lives in an area that's not usually prone to flooding but I'm stilled worried for them and for some of my friends. You'd think we'd have better infrastructure i place for floods by now, and they were in fact promising it like a year or two ago.
I've heard of the plans to relocate. It's gonna take years to even begin the relocation process, though. And it's not like they're gonna stop investing in the city. They've been improving public transportation lately. But I just think that there should be a priority in, like, preventing the city from getting destroyed.
I think urbanization and public works in general took a bit of a bad turn early on. Like how you'd see buildings in some places that seems kinda sunken because the way they used to fix the roads was to just lay the new asphalt on top of it and eventually the road was now higher up.
"Deadly Corona virus spreading in Asia and Japan"
It irks me that this headline basically groups all of Asia as one homogenous clump aside from the nirvana that is Japan...

Just now found this OT! Half-Japanese here! :)
I've gone through a few pages of comments and sounds like people are mostly on Discord now? Would love an invite if possible?

Is everyone on discord? Also, could I have a link to the discord, if that's alright?
PM's coming to yall soon I think !
Damn I didn't even notice this. Japan always on a pedestal smh
We brought it up in there. They'll have one for Asian-Era too
Btw you should remove that link just so the people in there don't get doxxed
I mean, as Korean, I'm happy that Parasite won (though I think he has better movies...)
As a film guy though, I still think the AA's are trash in general and their selection process for international stuff is the worst.
I also hate how the combination of being Korean and film guy is going to make me the ambassador for this movie and Korean cinema as a whole at work this week. :/

Channel permissions are fixed now.
Too bad Memories of Murder is no longer available on Amazon Prime's video channel. That was a fairly low-barrier entry for people to get a sense of Bong Joon-ho.
As Crash and The Green Book will remind you, stop trying to sow divisions and be a good obsequious representative of your minority race so a neat bow can be tied over racial differences.
Yeah. I think Bong works much better when he doesn't hit the audience over the head with his underlying theme. MoM and Mother are for me his two strongest films with Parasite behind them. Snowpiercer, Host and Okja wear their themes a little too heavily on their respective sleeves (though I do like Snowpiercer's misdirection of Song and his daughter's characters being the true heroes of the system).
I'm glad Parasite won. Bong's status has been steadily rising but I'm wary that this may be less of a precursor for the floodgates of awesome foreign language films in the U.S and more just a singular token representation where the film industry pats themselves on the back and turn proceeds to go back to their myopic ways.

I liked Parasite and didn't see any of the other nominated films so I can't comment if it was better than those. But I wonder if this will be the Korean equivalent of Crouching Tiger; not the best in its genre, but a gateway film to a foreign market.
I think Park stuff post-JSA is excellent but is just too inaccessible for the mainstream. Of course I say that when Oldboy was remade. Lee seems to be doing a pretty good trajectory with Burning and Secret Sunshine got Some international buzz. Clearly the correlation is get Steven Yuen in your movie and your US stock soars. :)
that's basically it though I do think it was one of the best of the year.
ME TOO.
Also the movie made me really sad. I wish I didn't watch it. It was just upsetting.
Surprised that I didn't know of this community until recently.
I am still somewhat salty that The Farewell didn't get any nods at the Oscars. It's one of my top-five films of 2019 for me.

Wouldn't have been surprised if you found the Parasite cast at Sun Nong Dan last night/this morning.
Bong Joon Ho and ‘Parasite’ cast parties until 5 in the morning at popular LA Koreatown restaurant

Niiiiiiice
Oh, cool - I never even knew there was an Asian-centric thread until I saw the BCC meeting thread. I rarely, if ever, enter the Hangouts side of ERA.
Parasite winning best director and picture is pretty baller. I hope it has the same effect as Lea Salonga winning her Tony award back in '91 did for Broadway musicals - greater exposure for more international films and artists.
(Joe Pesci not winning Best Supporting Actor is still trash, though).

I just wanted to check in and say hi to everyone. I read through the Mod meeting with the Black Culture Community and heard there was one coming up for Asian-Era as well. I'm more of a lurker on Era but I look forward to hearing what this community thinks and wants from this forum.
I think the discourse will be polite. But, I think overall it's too little, too late for any sort of improvement in regards to addressing the issues we've brought up.
Personally, I don't think that the makeup of Era in terms of membership, and the various factors specifically dealing with how those members interact with "Asia/Asians/Asian-diaspora" is going to leave much room for any tangible improvement.
We've moved our space away from Era and I see much more positive interaction there within our community than I think ever occurred in Era.
edit: It more of a resignation that I am giving up on my idealism in regards to Era. It is what it is. I enjoy interacting on this forum and I think the vast majority of people are good people. I just accept that there is that percentage of Era that will always show its ass whenever Asian-Era tries to make a point. It's just part of who/what Era is.
