I'm still hoping to see The Hidden Fortress soon. I'm also planning on seeing several of Kurosawa's other films as soon as I can.
Did anyone read the news over at The Digital Bits about THX-1138 coming to DVD later this year with over 100 new effects shots. Man, does Lucas hate everything he has ever done in the past or what? I have more respect for remakes than Lucas' tinkering. At least the remakes never take the place of the original films they were based on.
