A bunch of Akira Kurosawa movies on Netflix Instant are going beddy bye on the 21st. I just rewatched Seven Samurai and it is as glorious as I remembered it. It’s an archetype plot whose permutations include the Magnificent Seven, of course, and the Three Amigos but it’s so damn well acted and has stunning cinematography. Kikuchiyo is one of my most favorite movie characters ever.
Don’t let the 3:25 running time scare you away. You’ll get sucked into its world and it will feel like a regular 1:40 movie. Seriously, check it before it goes off instant because I know you let subtitled movie DVDs sit in a pile for 3 months before sending it right back.

This just happened without my touching my queue. Dennis Hopper must be watching over me.
I was laid off 2 days before my birthday in 2009, a dismal blessing. I miss health insurance and payroll, but I haven't bought bread since the pink slip because I have time to bake.
Sometimes I'm a serious job hunter, sometimes a serious slacker, but mostly, I'm an underemployed, freelance Jaqueline of many trades including writing and dogsitting. Either way, I scrapbook my finds and activities here for your benefit and amusement.
Follow me on Twitter if tv/movie/pro-cycling spoilers and unplanned live tweets won't hail on your parade. And yes, I do work blue so don't be huffy with me if you don't like cursing or merciless roasting of public figures.
You can look at my other blog Fashion Corpuscle if you like fashion. The ruins of my crumbling Tumblr blog empire awaits internet archaeologists.
