Happy 80th Birthday to brilliant movie maestro John Williams!
Happy 80th Birthday to brilliant movie maestro John Williams!
His genius permeates through my homes walls almost on a daily basis. There's hardly a day that goes by I'm not watching a movie he's scored or spinning his soundtrack on the speakers. HBD John Williams!

That it was.
And this sequence was pretty impressive, actually. Dat ass...
The US version of SHALL WE DANCE, a 2004 remake of the whimsical and charming 1996 hit Japanese flick of the same name, was..........not so bad, as I might've been lead to believe.
It's certainly not terrific by any means. Something definitely got lost in the cultural uh, conversion I feel. It lacks the subtleties and nuance of its Japanese counterpart, as you would naturally expect from a Hollywood production, and gone with it are a lot of the heart & soul of the original that this one tries so desperately to recapture. As an adaptation, it's simply 'adequate'. By-the-numbers, fairly routine but no drastic changes.
Otherwise, I thought the film was decently-made. Well shot, with solid choreography and some nice performances. It's a star-vehicle. By those accounts and for what it is, I was suitably entertained.
There's also the cultural stigma of a MAAAAN dancing which is not so hard to swallow from an occidental perspective especially when your protagonist is Richard Gere
There's definitely a bigger tableau surrounding the idea of dancing in public and expression of affection within Japanese cultural society. It would've been nigh impossible to convey this concept and sensibility to a mainstream western audience or demographic.
"Fuck you all."
"And football sucks."
Finally checking out the US Hollywood remake of one of my favorite Japanese comedies...........oh boy.
*sigh*
Bracing myself, I'm going in.
Thanks fellas!
Psycho, do have a PS3? The original SH is on PSN for a ridiculously low $5.99 in the PSone Classics section. Hell of a good deal I say. Even thought they're releasing SH2 and 3 in HD, I really hope they make the original versions available as PS2 Classics at some point.
