Got a note from my mommy this morning with a correction to the Zatoichi post:
Lisa,
I used to watch Sugata Sanshiro and Kogarashi Monjiro--not Zatoichi! They were more handsome than Katsu Shintaro--Takewaki Muga and Nakamura Atsushi. I also used to want to watch baseball every night when I was pregnant with you.
Love, Mom
Baseball and fighting samurai. Ball sports, swords, and honorable battle. That's what I was fueled with as a fetus!


That guy on the right sure looks alot like Ishihara Yoshizumi

The question is - did you like the Beat Takeshi Zatoichi?

Chalk up another huge Zatoichi fan. Zatoichi ga daisuki desu yo!
I enjoyed the "modern" Beat Takeshi version, though I found the CGI blood a tad quirky. I mean, blood is flowing everywhere, but their shirts don't get stained? Odd indeed. And don't get me started on the tapdancing musical final!
