media I love
Best movie EVER:
This is available on Netflix, but do not watch the instant one-- it is the dubbed version. Get the actually DVD and then watch it in Japanese. Timeless.
It is the 2008 adaptation of the Zatoichi movie series based on novels by Kan Shimozawa. The most recent one in 2003 was directed by and starred the famous Beat Takeshi. It was good, but this movie is 5 STARS. Get it, get it now.
Best new music video:
Runaway, by Kanye West
I loved the live performance he did of this at the MTV VMAs, but this is just... beautiful. Gorgeous depiction of art with women's bodies that is almost never done in pop-music. Very wabi-sabi. Kanye aishiteru! When is the tour!?
