  • Every now and then there’s something to be happy about.

    The Varsity theater is having a Kurosawa retrospective, between the 8th and the 22nd. ‘Throne of Blood,’ ‘Hidden Fortress,’ ‘Yojimbo,’ ‘Sanjuro,’ ‘Drunken Angel,’ ‘Rashomon,’ and of course ‘Seven Samurai.’ Among others. All new prints. Notable absences from the list: ‘Lower Depths,’ and ‘Dreams.’

    This is the kind of thing that makes me think I might not go to TX as early as I thought I would. Seriously. Homer loves his Kurosawa! I could go to the movies every night through the 22nd and see a different Kurosawa flick!

  • OK, so you have the “little professor” syndrome
    and you love Kurosawa…
    Could it be that you haven’t yet read this book?

  • dang, i’m jealous.

    it’s torture:  i live in japan, but it’s impossible to get to see movies with english subtitles.

  • Funny book.

  • I went to see “Seven Samurai” a few years ago after hearing a Kurosawa reference in a song. Funny how those references go in reverse order sometimes.

  • Homer, are you married? Gay? A monk?

    Because I think you’re my soulmate … Want to come live in Michigan?

    I *LOVE* Kurosawa. Ferociously and with a white-hot blaze of non-sexual cinema lust.
