No I haven't seen it yet but i did see some articles recently about it. I know they did a really cool marketing scheme to promote it at comicon. they sent a press package to people and in it was an IV bag which looked like it had blood in it to promote the movie. In actuality it is a drink and they want you to drink it out of the IV bag so it would be like the guy in the movie. I really do want to see it though the trailer looked cool...and i loved oldboy

Today's L.A. Times (Sunday July 26th 2009) has a nice piece on director Park and has lots of insight into him and his work
