[kj] OT: Scary/horror films vs. "disturbing" movies

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

Yes, you're right. I tend to unflatteringly-to-myself blur Korean and 
Japanese horror together. I probably should have said "East Asian."  :)

South Korea and Japan have some fierce competition going on as far as 
disturbing, horrific movies go, no? There's great stuff coming from both 
places. The global economy ... ah! The _3 Extremes_ DVD available in the 
US I think is comprised of 1 Korean and 2 Japanese films. I personally 
found the Korean film to be the strongest/creepiest, if memory serves. 
(Someone tied to a piano.)

Anyway, what's the NYC and Chicago KJ USA tour situations looking like?
