Top 3 movie for me and the source of the quote in my signature. But Melville flat out made up all the supposed samurai connections off the top of his head. If you’re going that route, I would recommend Jarmusch’s Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999) with Forest Whitaker as a double feature...

You’re right. That is blasphemy. But I also can never get any of my friends to watch a 3 1/2 hour black-and-white movie with subtitles from the 50s. Hard sell, so maybe you’re onto something.

I mean, yes, other than Seven Samurai, Rashomon, and Ran. But for sure, make time for Harakiri - the movie, not the practice.

You’ve come to the right place. Seven Samurai (1954) is a must watch for any fledgling samurai or even just general film fan. Sanjuro (1962) is the direct sequel to Yojimbo. Ran (1985) is one of my personal favorite films, and Kurosawa’s magnum opus in a filmography of masterpieces. It’s...

I meant to ask you if you finished the second quest

I have a feeling I’m about to get far more pensive over this pick than is warranted for an online anonymous video game draft, but as you’ll see, we have history. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64) - 1998 There was an extended period this was my unquestioned “Favorite Game of...

The appeal of Pokemon has always been team-building from the enemy monster list. That as an itch to my knowledge that’s never been attempted to be scratched by the Final Fantasy series. Perhaps ironically, my friend and I used to take the enemy profiles from one of the older Final Fantasy games...

All right everyone, I had a plan here: A modern, technically spectacular, immersive experience ready to go OR a legendary classic originally slated as a back-up to Hollow Knight that I did not expect to make it back to me in the fifth round. I would have been ecstatic for either here and up...

Sitting down for dinner. Take 5 everyone.

Reach out to @pdxKingsFan or @QWERTYLICIOUS and see if they’d be willing to take over for the second half.

I have never heard of this game and yet it is easily my favorite pick of the draft.

Believe it or not, immediately after your back-to-back Super Mario Brothers / Tetris picks, I said aloud “Cap just won this draft.” The classics anyone and everyone can pick up and play tend to carry the day when it comes time for popular votes. It’s been the Big N’s business model since a...

Absolutely. You, @hrdboild and the Cap were definitely my film-bro brethren in the movie drafts. Our paths keep crossing in these things. In this draft through, I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. Aside from you, my last 3 picks have been met with crickets and I’m just baffled. Sure, Persona is...
