After three years, a webtoon writer and a Korean actor made me enjoying writing about entertainment again. Thank You, #KimBoTong. Thank You, @ActorHaein. And, of course, thank you #Netflix. My thought on #DP, Deserter Pursuit. #JungHaeIn lostintvforever.wordpress.com/2021/09/28/d-p…

It’s 1 a.m. in Lebanon right now. People are asleep. And Israel just ordered the evacuation of entire residential buildings packed with civilians in Tyre. Families waking up in the dark, grabbing children, fleeing before Israel drops bombs on their homes and flatten them.

Every time happy for Hwang JungMin ✨️✨️ #HwangJungMin #Cannes

#Hope director Na Hong-jin: "I had to use special effects. I wanted the acting to be, however, very authentic and natural. So I needed top-quality actors because there were going to be a lot of very dangerous action scenes. I managed to convince them, to trick them and that’s what happened." variety.com/2026/film/fest…

The cast of Na Hong-jin's "Hope" at #Cannes.

The first teaser trailer for Na Hong-Jin’s ‘HOPE’ has been released. Starring Hwang Jung-min, Zo In-sung, Hoyeon, Taylor Russell, Alicia Vikander, Michael Fassbender and Cameron Britton. In theaters this fall.

ALERT! Yet another act of piracy by the Israeli army in international waters: intercepting the flotilla carrying basic necessities to a desperate population in Gaza. Shame on European govts who are not acting to stop Israel! When will Israel's impunity end?

Javier Bardem speaks out in #Cannes on toxic masculinity: "That problem also goes to Trump, Putin and Netanyahu... the big balls man saying 'my cock is bigger than yours and I'm going to bomb the shit out of you' is a f*cking male toxic behavior that is creating thousands of dead people." variety.com/2026/film/fest…

Cate Blanchett was thanked at #Cannes for speaking out about Palestine, to which she said: "It's a sad state of affairs that film festivals suddenly become the only place where one can talk about wars, conflicts, genocides, as if they're gonna be solved here." variety.com/2026/film/news…

"The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion." — Albert Camus

Javier Bardem says the fear of being blacklisted in Hollywood for supporting Palestine "does exist," but the tides are turning and "those who are drawing up the so-called blacklists will actually be exposed." "One has to do things even if you feel a bit scared or afraid... This contains consequences, which I am ready to shoulder... there can be no reason, no explanation for this genocide. Therefore, I think what is happening is quite the contrary. I believe that those who are drawing up the so-called blacklists will actually be exposed, and they will be the one suffering the so-called consequences, at least on a public and social level. And this is a major change." variety.com/2026/film/fest…

Inverted world.

This is beyond horrifying. New data shows Israel has killed over 680,000 Palestinians in Gaza. Among them: • 380,000 infants under 5 • 99,000 children over 5 That’s 479,000 children murdered by Israel. Israel isn’t “defending itself.” It is wiping out Palestinian life.

RAW reality of 21st century society.
