My dad said he thinks this is a giant gently caress you to nationalism and hell, I've never wanted him to be more right. Hell yeah.

Koreans are super nationalistic so you can reassure him that the nationalism still lives on.

I peeked into the fitness forums and couldn't find a boxing/martial arts thread, so I thought I'd just ask here: are there any issues to using Muay Thai gloves as boxing gloves?

Just joined a martial arts gym (boxing for me, though there's muay thai, bjj, and taekwondo too). Been borrowing gloves for a week but would much rather have my own! Found some Venum Challengers nearby that doesn't break the bank for me. If there is a thread and I missed it, please link me, thank you!

Talk to whoever is running the spars about it. Sometimes they'll say yes if your opponent doesn't care but obviously you never know. If the coach is a purist then you'll get a no, if not it's at least worth a shot because borrowed gloves are always gross as hell.

Hey friend I'm sorry you were misled by the title, this is the thread for talking about random irl stuff or video games or really anything, you're probably looking for the stickied combat sports general Q&A thread

I thought modern Muay Thai just used regular boxing gloves but I don't really know

No spars so far! Just hitting bags, boxing exercises (jab jab slip etc), and technique practise. Not sure if it makes a difference.

There's a Martial Arts thread in A/T.

Here's the link: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3790003

I've use MT gloves as boxing gloves and vice versa but I'm sure there's a reason people will explain for why that is not allowable etc.

Bong did Snowpiercer, which is extremely subversive. I doubt the tv adaptation will hold up.

When I saw Snowpiercer, I thought it was such a bold choice to not to have subtitles for the Korean lines.

Turns out my Roku 2 wasn't strong enough to play them.

Still loved the movie.

Go watch Memories Of Murder, it's a great crime mystery from our beautiful boy Bong, starring our boy's boy Song Kang-ho. It's in the canon of cop movies that are absolutely anti-cop, alongside Heat and Robocop. I heard a vague rumor that it's on YouTube complete with subtitles, but that's only a rumor.

it is a very good movie BUT the train obliterating that poor dude near the end made me lol and then feel bad, so I hate it

also Mother is a film of his that I don’t think gets talked about enough, but it will crush you so maybe be in the right mood to watch that one

When I find out I'm actually getting paid for what I do with my life I act like Patrick Mahomes did after scoring the go ahead touchdown of the Super Bowl. This is both kinda funny and also sad IMHO.

nthing both of these recommendations. Says a lot about Bong Joon-Ho that Parasite, as good as it is, might only be my third-fav film of his
