Devin is a twit...

...if he doesn't remember that "The Magnificent Seven" was the American version of "Seven Samurai". There were many such western remakes of Kurisawa flicks - tho', many of them were Spaghetti Westerns ("A Fist Full of Dollars", "For a Few Dollars More", "Good, Bad, and the Ugly"). For his part, Kurisawa was, in essence, making remakes of Hollywood flicks by adopting Hollywood's grand styles of epic films for the Japanese audience. It's a cannibalistic circle that has gone on thru the ages. There ARE no more original tales out there anymore, folks, just new and original ways to tell the old ones...

Of course, I'm pretty sure Devin knew all this already. He was just being facetious about remaking "Seven Samurai" - but I couldn't resist calling him a twit! wink

Kudos for that Connelly pic, tho'...

You should probably learn how to spell Kurosawa before taking other people to task for their knowledge of his movies...

Oh...btw...Dark Water is a GREAT atmospheric flick that has you on nails for most of the film. Unfortunately it isn't much more than 1 or 2 scares really. But those were defintely effective and ultimately I enjoyed the movie for one of the best atmospheres in film to date.

Unfortunately the original is only available via Region 3 DVD. But if you get a chance I recommend it.

I think we're all missing the much more important Devin-related issue here: that picture of Jennifer Connelly he posted with the update has destroyed my productivity and caused a really unsanitary amount of drool.

I assumed Devin was being sarcastic. Way to score points off him, though!

Yeah, I got the same vibe. Besides, he made a random Ringo Starr joke.
