Akira Kurosawa had an amazing eye for storytelling. For sure the quality of his cast(s) and their ability to convey the gravitas/pathos needed for his scenes helped make him so memorable, but it's hard not to see the impact he has had on modern cinema (action/drama/intense chara-portraits/etc.) ^^

I haven't seen Skulloneix on at all, recently...does he still pop on? I think he last posted around Xmas or so.
I saw this, again, the other day, and thought of him... :)

..."Pachikurosu"! ^^ (Pachinko game with a cinematic component, but still very slick!)
I think I'll PM it to him, in case he missed it. :p
EDIT: Hm, seems to be a "watch on Youtube onry" type thing...ah well. :/
