They're right.

A Mr. Vengeance remake is infinitely more appalling than an Oldboy remake. For one, because Oldboy is my least favorite, and two, unless they totally fuck with it, the film will have no appeal to American audiences.

Wow.

[Recovery Room]

And I thought the Oldboy remake was just scrapped?

[Dr. Strangefuck]

Wow.
Have you seen the others?

[Recovery Room]

Have you seen the others?
Yeah, I'd rank them:

Oldboy > Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance > Sympathy For Lady Vengeance

To each their own, I just don't think I've ever heard anyone rank Oldboy not as their favorite, let alone their least favorite.

Oldboy is my least favorite as well.

Ah I see, yeah, to each their own.

Did you read the plot description for the American version?

“the women two different men love most are murdered, and the men set out on violent quests to punish those responsible. Trouble is, they themselves are the ones responsible and only one of them will have vengeance.”

WTF?

Interesting.

That's awesome, though -- now I know at least two people rank that low.

I just love the unrelenting brutality and somberness (not sure if that's the right word, but it's what I'm going with) of Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance.

Yeah, big facepalm. I understand that different people get different things out of films, but to blow a plot synopsis like that makes it clear that you didn't watch the film. Also, is there a more convoluted way to say what they said?

Haha holy shit, the comments section on that site is the first I've ever heard about a possible remake of JSA set between the U.S. and Mexico haha. Talk about a tenuous grasp on what that movie is about.
