…and the black sword keeps on killing…

Running on through a movie-free phase it seems. Aside from Tintin shows and A Bugs Life, at least. Though Land of the Dead is out now. I have an urge to see that though I don’t have much history with those things. I think I saw Night of the Living Dead on TV a good number of years back and, of course, I’ve seen Return of the Living Dead plenty of times… I don’t think I’ve seen other of-the-dead’s. Dawn of the Dead? Day of the Dead (is that the name of one)? Well, maybe I’ll see Land of the Dead and maybe it will inspire me to look up those older ones. Speaking of things of that ilk, I’ve been having urges to re-watch Gozu. I recall not being too sure about it when I saw it. I think because I liked its Yakuza stuff at the beginning and then, for the rest of the movie, I was wanting more “good ol school Yakuza” action. I know I know… That’s not what one should count on from Miike, but still. In retrospect though, I think my appreciation for the whole of the movie has grown quite a bit and it may be time for a second time around… Even though there are still a good number of his movies that I need to see for a first time even…

Well, who knows. At least it’s raining again.
