O hisashiburi

Its been a while. Maybe I was busy, though I find it hard to believe. I didn't watch many movies in between though. Lets see, a couple of documentaries, notable ones being The Corporation and Kintaro Walks Japan. Movies that I can remember watching are Citizen Dog, which was a fun ride, some beautiful sequences, like the grandmother lizard one. Music was pretty as well. Also, The Hidden Blade. Same director as the more famous Twilight Samurai. IMDb informed me that the lead actor here was the japanese lead in Jim Jarmusch's Mystery Train. Really! Times have changed then I guess.
FAQ-
1- Why only Japanese movies?
A- Not only japanese but korean, chinese (mainland, hong kong, taiwanese), thai, vietnamese, etc
2- OK why only asian?
A- They are making the best movies these days.
3- So no european etc?
A- Shiranai.
4- How to find movies?
A- Very similar to finding research references. Use IMDb (like Mathscinet) judiciously. Blogs, friends, and recently youtube. Check out Backpacking Nepal's channel in youtube.
5- The blog is named Math, Movies, etc. Where is the math?
A- Please Don't be impatient. It will come. For starters, check out the oft mentioned math blogs like Terry Tao's blog and Tim Gowers's blog.
Maybe some more FAQ next time!
