i just saw Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers.

i like it, although i thought it was kinda slow. couldn't take all three in a row.

and weird thing is about these movies or tv series with "super powers", when it comes to war, where does the super power go??? there are sooo many times that'd make you go "why didn't he..." or "he could've..."

LOL.

I guess the super powers are anti-war, so they boycott. :hehe:

Recently watched the Karin Muller documentary "Japanland" in which an American woman travels throughout Japan in search of the ancient heart of Japanese culture? It was pretty ambitious given the fact that this women traveled and shot most of the footage entirely alone. Recommended for Japanophiles or those interested in learning more about Japan.

That sweat-icon isn't good. When did you order it?

My aunt went all out...she bought me the version in the briefcase, that's like 80,000 out of 100,000 limited copies. It has the movies, 5 DVDs, art, an origami, and a model police car. Damn. I guess I was good this year.

Yup, from way back.... Probably before you were born. :beaten:

Finally watched "The Last Samurai" tonight. As a movie, it was pretty good. However it's like most other western movie about another culture: overly romantic and ignorant.

Well, it has to be Hollywood-ized for public consumption, ne?

Props to Tom Cruise for trying and using an all-Japanese cast as opposed to that "they all look alike" movie, Memoirs of a Geisha... :bleh:

A better version of The Last Samurai would be Tasogare Seibei, an Academy Award Nominee for Best Foreign Film... :thumbsup:

True. At least the lovely Koyuki is in the Cruise one :)
