I had a long conversation with a friend yesterday about Kurosawa's films and it's taking all of my will power to not embark on a rewatch of his movies because I already have such a backlog of new stuff I need to watch.

I hadn’t read Hägar since I was a kid but I quite enjoyed this. Which sucks because there are seven more volumes that are mostly out of print & several have jumped up in price. But I’m a completist…sigh…
