I went up to Berkeley today and had sushi with Sarah Lowe. It's nice to have people to see. We went and watched The Seven Samurai at a local theater afterward. I hadn't seen it before. It was quite good, though then ending was more than slightly abrupt.
But I guess that's kinda the point. It was a movie that emphasized realism over plot and pacing in several places, and I respect that, even when it's a bit frustrating.

I loved that movie.

Samurai are cool.

It wasn't as deep or artsy as I'd been led to believe, but it was a good cowboy flick, only Samurai are way cooler then cowboys.

So are ninja's. They flip out and kill people ALL THE TIME. Some of them even practice MIND CONTROL!

It's full of holes, like Yohei's underwear (Thanks, Sarah!)

Yeah. You can definitely see why somebody saw it and immediately said "this would make a great Western!". Thus, The Magnificent Seven.

More amusingly, somebody else saw it and thought, "this would make a great RPG!". Thus, the "Magnificent Seven" campaign for Blades of Exile. Only I think it's called Magnificent Six or something silly like that because the game only lets you have six characters at once. I forget, it's been awhile.
