[edit] Hancinema links for Korean films

I'm not sure how many of you have looked at the site hancinema.net, but I'm wondering what you guys think for using it as an external link on korean films? Personally I use it pretty much exclusively to imdb in relation to korean films as I find it way more useful with a lot better information on it than imdb for korean films. There is of course the rare film not available on there, but most films from 2000 forward are listed there.--Crossmr (talk) 06:40, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

I'd say go ahead and add it to the Resources section of the task force page, if nothing else. Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 07:11, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I've done that. People can mull it over. its not something I'd want to add by hand if we decide to, I'd probably try to find a bored bot to automate the process.--Crossmr (talk) 07:27, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Personally I find HanCinema to be an excellent resource for Korean films, and always tend to add a link to film and actor articles. As I recall, there was an issue last year with another editor removing such links (and those to Koreanfilm.org) as "linkspam", but I don't think it's an issue now.

[edit] External links in Template:Infobox Korean Film

Since we have our own infobox for Korean films, I was wondering how other feel about removing the AMG link? In the vast majority of cases, I find AMG to be of little real use when it comes to Korean films. I was thinking that a link to KMDB or/and HanCinema might provide a more relevant alternative. Any opinions? PC78 (talk) 00:18, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

for older films we might want to do IMDB, for newer films we might want to do hancinema. I find for older stuff (pre 2000 and low budget stuff after 2000) its not really on hancinema, except for really big films in the pre-2000 era. While on the other hand a lot more of the older films are on IMDB, but a lot of newer ones seem to take more time getting on there. There are also issues with romanization of names, and because its user submitted it can lead to having multiple entries on actors and such.--Crossmr (talk) 02:06, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Good point about HanCinema. It's a great resource for recent films, but it only goes back as far as 1995 or so. PC78 (talk) 15:37, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

I'd say IMDB should stay, since it's pretty standard, though, ahem, not "Reliable". As for a Korea-specific database, I'd vote for KMDB. You're right about AMG, PC78, it's generally pretty useless for Korean cinema. Dekkappai (talk) 18:23, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

I've replaced the AMG link in the infobox with a link to KMDB instead. The parameter works in the same way as the IMDb one, i.e. you only enter the five digit number at the end of the URL. Example:

| kmdb_id = 08753

which links to the Secret Sunshine profile on KMDb. PC78 (talk) 01:01, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A Good Woman in Paris

Does anyone know anything about this film? This recent article suggests that filming has not yet begun, which would mean that the article fails WP:NFF and should therefore be deleted. PC78 (talk) 20:27, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Strange... The only source is the IMDB profile, which is actually to Nunmul (Tears (film)). None of the main databases cover it yet. There may be some news items out on it, but the article as a whole looks like copyright-infringement-ish. He's a major director, and we may have to restart the article later if it gets made, but absent any sourcing at all and no film yet, I'd lean towards deleting it for now. Dekkappai (talk) 20:46, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Sorry for the broken link, KOFIC won't let me link to the article for some reason; here is the same article on HanCinema. The title gets minimal ghits, and all I could find were a couple of articles from 2006, presumably when the film was first announced. I think I'll AfD it. PC78 (talk) 21:38, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Right-- any actual information on the project-- planned an unfilmed, or to be filmed in the future-- should go at the Im Sang-soo article until it gets made. Dekkappai (talk) 21:40, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pilnyeo

This recently created film article is currently at AfD. I couln't find much about it (besides IMDB and KMDB profiles etc.), but according to this it's an award-winning film. Can anyone find any decent Korean-languge sources? PC78 (talk) 00:10, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Found this article so I'm posting the link here for future reference. PC78 (talk) 00:43, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
