He almost took her bloody sanity! I don't care about Tom Cruise's stuff. He can buy it back.


At least he didn't take her dignity...............never mind.

Yeah, I have to say, I loved The Last Samurai. It's so confusing watching it in Japan, though - you can never get the perfect combination of Japanese with English subtitles and English with Japanese subtitles (that is to say, it's impossible to satisfy both audiences at once...).


For those familiar with japanese culture, the mere fact that we see Tom Cruise as an american fighting on the side of the shogunates during the Meiji Restorarion is absolutely bizarre.


To say the least.


I am familiar with Japanese culture, and I saw it with my Japanese family at least twice and we all loved it. I was opposed to the idea when I saw the trailer, but I think it really highlights something about Japan even today.


Did you see the "Memoirs of Geisha" or "Memories of the Geisha' or whatever it was called?


The first one was right - nah, I was extremely put off by the fact that they used a Chinese actress to play the Japanese main character...
MTFBWY. Always.

I know what you mean. I get so incensed by the notion that a Welshman was cast to play the great American hero Batman.

And don't even get me started on that hack job done by the very British Ben Kingsley playing the mack-daddy of all Indians, Gandhi.

I mean, what are they thinking getting actors to play somebody outside of their native land?

And Harrison Ford, an Earthling, playing Han Solo, a Correllian?! Bah!

That's almost as bad as casting that Anthony Daniels fellow to play a robot. British people aren't robots! They're the least robotic people in Europe!

And a greasy, used car salesman robot to boot. Hey, why doesn't Lucas get Danny DeVito to overdub C-3PO? It'll help bring Star Wars closer to his original vision.

Don't you mean R2-D2?

<span class=“Italics”>MeBeJedi: Sadly, I believe the prequels are beyond repair.
<span class=“Bold”>JediRandy: They’re certainly beyond any repair you’re capable of making.</span></span>

<span class=“Italics”>MeBeJedi: You aren’t one of us.
<span class=“Bold”>Go-Mer-Tonic: I can’t say I find that very disappointing.</span></span>

<span class=“Italics”>JediRandy: I won’t suck as much as a fan edit.</span>

Well... that would certainly be interesting...

Hey, someone should try a fanedit of that, where THreepio and R2's voices are dubbed for comedic effect.

So Cruise apologized to Brooke Shields. Do you think he'll apologize to Matt Lauer now?
I'd like a qui-gon jinn please with an Obi-Wan to go.

Red heads ROCK. Blondes do not rock. Nuff said.
