Blunders, I saw Onibaba years ago and you could say, I'm absolutely hooked on the Zatoichi movies, that's the Shintaro Katsu ones not the Kitano ones

Hello Mrs. Jones 10:49 - Tell me about it!
I remember being in an Osaka hotel one night, flicking around the TV (as you do) after a while, bored and looking at all the shit tv I gathered myself and went downstairs to reception to buy a code for the 'Arty channels' i think it was £10 or £15 rushed back upstairs, sat on the bed and put in the code, voila...started watching and they got to the money scene and it was all pixelated!!
Cunts! What a waste of £

My daughter is very big on Studio Ghibli, but for a long time was unable to get hold of Grave of the Fireflies. Then I stumbled upon it on YouTube - pretty powerful.
She's also into a bit of the Kyoto Animation stuff - and was somewhat upset at the recent arson attack/ mass murder there.
She's been educating me a bit on anime.
I like some of Shūji Terayama's stuff

Kurosawa's Ran A fucking masterpiece
Also his films Dreams, Throne of Blood, Roshamon and the Seven Samaurai.
There are too many others by him to mention
I once watched Oshima's In the Realm of the Senses
It wasn't arf rude

Old Boy. Americans made a remake with Josh Brolin. Good but not a patch on the original

Couple I forgot, though not films.
There were two very different animes that played early Saturday morning on TV when I was a kid.
One was Astroboy mostly a kids show
And the other I think was Robotech but would like that to be corrected/confirmed, in which I remember their being a planetary genocide in the first or second episode (I saw at least) Welcome to anime.

The Monkey series was massive for me in my childhood. Even looking back on them now on YouTube, they hold up quite well in their lighthearted, silly way.
I’ve said it here before, but Kurosawa’s Ran (King Lear) is the only movie I’ve ever seen that gets better each time I see it.
The Japanese have a real talent for making TV and movies.

one of my favourite kurosawa films is high and low. it's a fairly drab concept compared to his other films which is why you don't hear about it much, but it's a great little character piece.
