I'm in a Park zone so I netflixed another...
I'm a Cyborg and that's Okay was disappointing, especially after Lady Vengeance as there are some familiar incarceration themes, but it's not as gritty, not as Park. It's goofy and quirky, all good fun in the looney bin, a story arc that drives me nuts (pun intended) as I've been in looney bins (as an observer - I know what you all thought but remember that I got my degree in Psych and nothing could have better prepared me for what I do now...Nothing!) Looney bins are much more Cuckoo's Nest than King of Hearts. So that wasn't working for me at all. I was hoping for more hallucinatory scenes, and while there were a few reality-line-blurring ones, nothing that satisfying, save any of the scenes when the cyborg's fingers turned into machine guns. The worst part was that the story just ends without much closure, almost like a French flick.
This may have got me into a no-Park zone for a while. I'm debating about Priest, which is also netflixable, but I'm so not into vampire flicks. That's way down there, beneath zombie and superhero flicks (although I'll make an exception for superhero flicks with Scarlett Johanssen).
