Yes indeed,

And it is a wonderful movie. I have great memories of the early '70s
when I was living in NYC and discovered Samurai movies. Some of the best
were by Akira Kurawasawa. They were like westerns but with all the
allure of a similar myth-world in a wonderfully different culture.

Yes it is a good movie. Me and my friends would watch all those old Japanese
movies on Saturdays. They would run all morning. That's were I first saw it.
A real classic.

It was remade into a movie starring Bruce Willis a couple years ago, can't
recall the title, kinda forgettable, not a patch on the Kurosawa flick IMO,
nor Leone's. Cheers. (BTW watch Star Wars some time, then watch Kurosawa's
"Hidden Fortress," your jaw will drop. Similarities, anyone...?)

It has to do with shortwave, 'cos sw radio is one of the few places
Americans can hear some truth. You sure ain't gonna find it reading Drudge,
listening to Limbaugh, watching Fox News.

We probably have more free media sources here than any other place on the
planet.

Or reading your posts.
