.....assuming I had money :)...

Also, you may want to check out the new DVD of The Hidden Fortress, by Kurosawa. It's a cool Samurai adventure/comedy, and George Lucas cites it as a main influence for Star Wars. Very nice movie.

"My home collection is bigger than vulcan's..."

Quite honestly, this scares me more than the NSA stuff... :p

And to add to Ky-Fi's thoughts - any Kurosawa is worth seeing, in my experience. Even the non-Samurai stuff, like "High and Low" "Sanshiro Sugata" and "Lost Dogs." Heck, "High and Low" is probably my favorite of any of 'em.

Toshiro Mifune is the actor's name. There was a lovely Finish movie named after him that had nothing realy to do with him at all.

I loved Yojimbo. If you're interested in renting adaptations of the story you should check out "A Fist Full of Dollars". It's much better. It was Sergio Leone's first western, was what made Clint Eastwood a star and is where the term spagheti western came from. Leone went on to make two awsome sequels: "For a Few dollars More" and "The Good the Bad and the Ugly." He did other great movies as well, not all westerns.

Let's just say that I've been collecting a while (8 years now I guess) and that at one time, I used to have some $$.
I'm in San Antonio BTW, but my parents are trying to control my life at the moment, so I don't know when I'll make it up to Austin.

I totally forgot that "the Good, the bad, and the ugly" was based off of Yojimbo. Thanks for the reminder. :) I've seen all three, and while I'd probably say the Clint Eastwood one is the better movie, the Bruce Willis flick is awfully close in spirit- as well as adapting many of the exact same scenes. All good in my book, but I know many who don't like the Willis movie.

Just some thoughts from an ignoramus.

Hopefully it will be a better 2nd round remake than the godawful "Last Man Standing".
