The murder of a woman in her 60s in Tongyeong, Gyeongsangnam-do, took place on the 50th, but the police have not yet identified even the suspect. Concerns are growing that it may remain a long-term unsolved case.

According to the Gyeongnam Provincial Police Agency on the 29th, the incident occurred early on June 10. A woman in her 60s was found dead by her family after being stabbed to death in the neck in her home.

Police estimated that the suspect approached the house around midnight and stayed for about two hours, then committed the crime at 2 a.m. and immediately fled to the hill behind him. CCTV footage of the crime showed part of the crime, but it was not possible to confirm the face or body characteristics because the suspect thoroughly hid his identity with a hat, mask, and gloves, and held a weapon in his hand.

The biggest reason for the difficulty of the investigation is the topographical characteristics of the incident site. It is a remote rural house at the end of the village, and the back is directly connected to the hill. The police secured and analyzed 140 to 150 CCTVs around them, but it is difficult to find out the path of the suspect's movement before and after the crime because it is night time and is surrounded by mountains and farmland.
The police are continuing their investigation by setting up a team of 41 people, including 21 detectives from Tongyeong Police Station and 20 from Gyeongnam Provincial Police Agency's Metropolitan Investigation Unit. Not only those around the victim, but also those who traveled to and from the area on the day of the incident, communication records, and CCTV footage are extensively analyzed. However, no conclusive clue has been obtained to identify the suspect yet.

The motive for the crime is also still in the fog. So far, no traces of the disappearance of money have been confirmed, raising the possibility that it is not just a robbery and murder. Police confirmed the suspect carrying a bag from the victim's house after the crime, but could not figure out what was in the bag. It is reported that no singularity was found in the insurance subscription history to suspect the motive of the crime.

The police recently decided to pay up to 100 million won in reporting compensation to citizens who provide decisive clues to the arrest of the criminal, and also released a video of the suspect on CCTV to secure reports. Some reports have been received and are being checked, but no information has yet been released that could be a clue to solving the case.

I reckon the film received some criticism by Indian audiences, and also winning over There Will be Blood and No Country for Old Men was quite questionable, but I still think it doesn't deserved to be called one of the worst best picture winners.

I think The Artist or Chariots of Fire are more fitting.

Like Wagner Moura AND Greta Lee? Damn that's an interesting combination.

Don't have much expectations on the film itself (probably as should) but I think I'm gonna check it out sorely for the casts.

As someone who is chronically online, I have met people from many countries around the world on the internet, even those from countries with small populations, like the Baltics, while also rarely meeting people (with all due respect) who seem to not have good access to the internet, like Libya or Turkmenistan.

However, as far as recalling my memories goes, I feel like I've never met a person from Papua New Guinea online. At first, I thought it was because they have a small population, but I discovered that more than 11M people are living there, which is definitely not a small number, even exceeding Portugal's population (10.4M) by a bit.

According to Google, Papua New Guinea is considered an underdeveloped country, which means, I can guess, their internet connection isn't very good.

Have you ever met a person from Papua New Guinea online?

Some movies will eventually get the recognition it didn't initially receive

Although this article wasn't written by David Ehrlich who gave 1.5 on Hope, this critic also watched the film at Cannes, disappointed at first, but is now very satisfied after watching the re-edited version.

So apparently re-editing does save films sometimes

Yeah I like him but not sure if I'll watch this, good luck if you are

KatieM7 was a YouTuber who was active during the time when Owl City was famous worldwide.

She gained a lot of views just by making one kind of video: a music video based on Owl City's songs, using paper arts drawn by herself.

You can guess she truly was one of Owl City's biggest fans, since all 24 of her videos are about him.

Sadly, KatieM7 stopped uploading videos after posting the music video for Honey and the Bee for the last time 14 years ago.

I've visited her other social media accounts she linked on her profile, and it seems like she was active at least until 2019, judging by her Tumblr page, while she also posted a photo of the cover of Owl City's album on her Facebook page in 2022.

I decided to post this to thank and remember her legacy. All of her videos feel like a time capsule, as they were posted more than 10 years ago, indicating how much of a thing Owl City was back then.

Katie, I hope you're doing well wherever you are right now. Thanks for showing your love for Owl City and their music.

No wonder how he's able to make movies every year

Just watched it through a South Korean premiere screening. People here are really engaged in whether this film will succeed or not, since it's the most expensive Korean film ever made.

Well, I'm telling you, the first hour of this movie is genuinely one of the best first acts in any movie I've seen in my life. It was unbelievably intriguing; almost went to the state of trance.

The action and cinematography are absolutely the work of masters. The car chase and the action in the forest are freaking rips.

Regarding the CGI, which was criticized at Cannes, I have to admit the graphics of the monsters in the first half weren't the best; it felt like they didn't have enough time to make them look better. But it gets better during the second half, and I wasn't bothered by it that much. CGI wasn't the thing to criticize the film for me.

I feel like the ending of this film will be a bit controversial. Some will like it; some won't. It wasn't a conventional way to end a blockbuster movie, which I personally really liked.

So, this is the best thing I can say about this film without any spoilers. Hope was absolutely my shit. A 4.5-film without any hesitation. If you're looking forward to this, you definitely should. I can't wait to watch it again after the wide release.

Huge respect for them, these guys truly love their job. Hollywood could never!

The production of this film started in 2008, based on the novel with the same title, and it was initially reported that Johnny Depp would serve as the main actor. However, it was continuously delayed due to troubled production.

Apparently, this film was Julian Schnabel's passion project. He was selected as the director in 2011. Despite the troubled production, Schnabel insisted on bringing this film to life while also continuing his career, making and releasing *At Eternity's Gate* at the same time.

In 2023, filming finally began with an insanely stacked cast, including Oscar Isaac, Gal Gadot, Gerard Butler, John Malkovich, Franco Nero, Jason Momoa; even including Al Pacino, and Martin Scorsese, the latter also served as an executive producer.

The film was produced by many film companies. Four countries—Chile, Italy, UK, and USA—gave a hand in production. The budget was $25 million, which was a blockbuster budget for an arthouse film.

It was premiered at the Venice Film Festival last year, and, well, people didn't like it. Not only that, apparently, the screener was leaked online one month before it.

The film's wide release was shelved for several months after that. Honestly, it would have been considered miracle if any distributor was willing to buy it.

Luckily (I guess), Netflix bought the rights for it a few months ago. It was limitedly released in theaters in early June and uploaded worldwide on June 24.

Well, it seems like no one even knows or cares about this film at all since it still hasn't reached 10k views on LB, not to mention it tanked in ratings.

One might consider this film as another Megalopolis, but well, Megalopolis at least got some sort of negative attention after it went viral on social media, while this film is just dead on arrival.

Do I feel bad for Schnabel? Yeah, kinda. Did I watch the film? ...not really, just got interested on how things went wrong rather than the movie itself.

Unique, original, psychedelic, lavish and voluptuous. Schoenbrun is a both amazing storyteller and visualmaker. This kinds of films make me realize that originality in cinema is ain't dead yet.

Also, it's one of the best looking films I've seen in a while. So you better not miss it at theater.

Really glad I could caught this at festival cuz this kinds of films are not likely to get major release in my country 😞
