Hidden Fortress just doesn't work so great for me. Probably the only samurai drama of his I don't care for. Now, the bits at first with the Hellish slave labour camp? Those are fucking great.
Absolutely perfect choice to watch on Mothers Day as well!

Sanjuro's also good. It's much more a comedy than Yojimbo, and it's not everyone's speed even beyond that, but there's some pretty interesting character stuff, and the ending...
But we can never have a Samurai Jack movie because Aku, the Shape-Shifting Master of Evil, has no voice.
I mean, I love Mako as much as the next guy (I even watched his last live action role, a stinker called Rise Blood Hunter), but I'm sure someone else could do Aku, the Shape-Shifting Master of Darkness who Unleashed an Unspeakable Evil.
Wrong ethnicity, I know (do eternal demonic metamorphs have an ethnicity, really?), but I kinda want to hear Benedict Wong's take on Aku after witnessing him as Kublai Khan in Marco Polo.
You're probably right, I've gone "No one can ever do this again" a bunch of times and been pleasantly surprised all over the place.
And frankly, the writing for Aku was so good, I'd jump at the chance to line a bunch of character actors up and just let 'em have at it.
Mako, though.
Especially with voice actors
like there are people who stepped into the shoes of popeye and porky pig, which are incredibly difficult voices
I'm sure someone could and they could do it tastefully
And of course there's Yojimbo. It kinda fails a little today, because there are bits that are meant to be funny or something and they just fall deathly flat, but the bits where our protagonist is a bad ass is the fucking bed rock all bad asses are carved from.
There's a reason that Yojimbo is one of the most influential movies of all time. People talk about A Fistful of Dollars, but the name on Sergio Leone's lips when he made it was "Kurosawa." Then you have the Bruce Willis connection with Last Man Standing. And I don't know how many times I've seen the dog-with-severed-hand shot parodied or remade.
Point of order, Yojimbo is not about an anthropomorphic rabbit.

Of course not.
That's USAGI Yojimbo. Regular Yojimbo notably lacks the word rabbit in the title. Very clear titling pattern.
So I just watched Resolution, one of the horror movies I linked on the first page
It was... interesting?
It certainly knows how to set a mood, and I always like the style of horror that never really explains why these things are actually happening to the protagonists, but I think even for being that kind of movie it was a little too vague in that regard
Actually the more I think about it the more it kinda feels like an indie Cabin in the Woods
I definitely see how it has some meta-commentary on horror movies and what we as an audience expect and demand to see in them
i definitely do not know what they're going to do with Hoffman for the next part, unless he gets written out later in part 1 that I haven't seen yet. He was definitely lifting that movie up.

A Fistful of Dollars was a remake of Yojimbo, so yeah, Leone has a little in common with Kurosawa...
Well yes, I am aware.

Really good performances though

Old school.
I like it.

You don't have to love his movies but you have to respect his influence.
I think seven samurai is probably a better movie than magnificent seven, though I love both
