Not really. Shall we agree to disagree? 'k.

The issue is not retelling the story. It's how stupidly Hollywood does it. That's why i used equally profoundly stupid scenarios like a movie about Julius Caesar, set in ancient Rome, but starred by an all-japanese cast. While Throne of Blood and Ran were based on Shakespeare, they completely changed the setting and threw out everything except the basic plot-points. See the difference? But...47 Ronin is set in Japan with what I believe is a mostly Japanese except Keanu (explained in story) and the westerners on the outer islands (Dutch?) that appear in the single sequence when the lead Ronin goes there (to recruit Keanu - explained in the story) Which is a bit more like if Japan had done a movie about Julius Ceasar, set in Ancient Rome, filmed in Budapest and staring a mostly european cast except for one of the two male leads who is a period explained Japanese national or something. Still sounds inheritly bad.

Hey, it sure hasn't been tried yet!

They gain ground because there are no other altruistic good guys fighting the good fight. Like the least of all evils or something. But no, i have no idea on what to do with those guys.

Hey, Throne of Blood is a damn incredible version of Macbeth set in Japan. That's certainly worthwhile watching. Yeah, exactly the same. Not like they changed anything at all or anything.

All these hollywoodized movies of Japanese/Asian origin are boring. They interest me as much as a Japanese version of King Arthur or Julius Caesar.

The guy failed at creating a basic, proper trailer. Jesus, that was horrible.

Soon you have enough man-power to rebuild your empire. The old colonies have shown to be incompetent to take care of themselves anyway.

I would assume it's more to protect people from stumbling onto porn through Google. For example, if I do a search for Bust of David when looking for Renaissance sculptures, and end up with a different kind of bust. That being said, I am not a fan of censorship and would rather parents be the responsible party here. How did you do that? From my experience, you cannot find porn on the internet unless you deliberately search for it. Cameron is one big joke btw, censoring the internet will only backfire in the long run.

True, but it is immoral. Repulsive even. Hardly, it's a necessity. You couldn't sue a corporation that fails to deliver if it didn't have legal personality. Exactly. Then you sue the CEO, chairman of the board or whatnot. Meaning the one that bares the top responsibility instead. Make the paradigm switch to the very individuals that make the decisions of the corporations behalf.

It's something so obscure that you either don't understand it or have never heard of about. *flips on a fedora*

Next thing you know you'll be pirating games for the sake of communism. Stop this at once! If it were't for rich people, there wouldn't be any order, progress and civilization! Rich people care about you, they pay you their money, etc. Now is the time to abolish democracy and replace it with our aristocratic cabal of philosopher kings. I can tell it, the time is now nigh!...... .... ... .. . Sorry, wrong forum. Please ignore that.

Nice! Thanks!

Yeah, but you have to choice not to tolerate it and not buying it. Members of the koala nation have some beaurocrats deciding it for them. Poor schmucks.
