Seven Samurai’s 4K restoration is headed to theaters - The Verge
“To celebrate its 70th anniversary, Akira #Kurosawa’s three-hour black-and-white epic Seven Samurai is coming back to theaters with a new 4K restoration.”
It was one of the most infamous cases of karoshi (working to death) Japan has seen. Learn how the tragic loss of Takahashi Matsuri shook the country, and what changed - and what hasn't - since then.
So I went to an electronics store in Japan over the weekend. Nowadays they have a 'portable pc gaming' corner with the Windows machines: Lenovo legion Go, ROG Ally, and the MSI crap with Intel. The most surprising thing was that the store did not even bother to install any (decent) games on them. On the demo units you could enjoy the glory of Win11 on a small screen and thats it. Thats an FAIL of epic proportions. Of course the Steam Deck was nowhere to be seen. #pcgaming#handheld#japan
#Japan#Film Festival Online 2024 will be Weds 5th-19th June (starts & ends noon JST so effectively the 18th for UK).
It's a great opportunity to see Japanese films which can be hard to find.
I'm going to watch as many as I can and post brief thoughts under #JFF2024 with the aim of helping those with busy lives choose one or two. Happy to have conversations as well.
Please follow the hashtag if you're interested.
