Kurosawa Walks Into the Samurai Genre and Locks the Doors
Kurosawa’s first samurai film hits Cannes: a siege outside, a murder inside, and paranoia closing in. This one feels different.
One Wrong Dig, Six Hundred Coins, and a King on the Run
A “junk” find on Rügen turns into a Viking hoard: 600 coins, jewels, and clues tied to King Harald Bluetooth’s turbulent fall.
Runes Before the Vikings
Ancient stones drop runes centuries early. “Idiberug” steps in like a name. Raw alphabet in progress. Then a line hits: “I wrote this.” That’s history talking.
Adam Savage gets His Hands On A Samurai Sword
Not fame. Access. Savage walks into the vault, meets a real 17th-century katana, and geeks out like it matters. That’s the magic. I’m jealous.
Vikings in Maine
1957, Maine. Guy digs up a beat-up Viking coin. No ships, no raids, just one silver drifter. Not proof… just one hell of a mystery.
Bushido
Had a Go idea for VIKINGS vs SAMURAI. Then Bushido drops and I’m like damn, Shiraishi already played that hand better, deeper, colder.
I Saw Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair
Kill Bill on the big screen was pure bliss: epic fights, electric crowd, plush seats, zero distractions. I’m going again. If it’s playing, don’t miss it.
Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair
December 5. Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair. Four hours, one cut, all blood. Not a movie, Tarantino’s gospel. I’m calling it: this is church.
Three Sons, One Mad Lord, and Zero Pee Breaks: Surviving Ran in 4K
Took a day off, saw Kurosawa’s Ran in 4K. Bleak, brutal, brilliant. King Lear with samurai, fire, betrayal, and one hell of a jester.
Samurai Bloodlines: Honor, Inheritance, and the Family Business
Born into legacy, bound by blood. Samurai didn’t just fight with swords. They carried names, debts, and ghosts. The family always comes first.
