Have a question for MACK if he happens by this thread again by any chance. Everyone always praises the Akira Kurosawa movies, I haven't seen any yet but have been meaning to see them. The only great independent Japanese samurai films I've ever seen were the Zatoichi: Blind Samurai films, a must for any enamored with Japanese culture/Matt Murdock culture. Since these movies seem to have a connection on some level with Kabuki I was wondering if MACK's ever seen any of these films and if he by any chance thought they were well worth watching.

Of course, I've seen them all.
My faves are:

Kagemusha
Seven Samurai
Ran
High and Low
Rashemon
Dreams (it has several small stories in it, including one where Scorescese plays Van Gogh).
And see Yojimbo

There is a great DVD set of Kurosawa out right now that has a great documentary and commentary on the films.

These are all revelutionary films, that have been borrowed from very heavily from American (and Italian) film makers for the last 50 years.
Lucas, Spielburg, Scorecese and all the American greats learned from him way early on.

Ask me at a con panel sometime and I will go on at lenght.
Best,
David

hey, MACK! if you happen by this thread again, just wondering what you thought about Inagaki's Samurai trilogy chronicling Musashi Miyamoto's life. I only watched the flicks for the first time like 5 months ago, and I love them.

I've only seen one of them and I really enjoyed it.
But I've read Musashi's Book of Five Rings, and followed the Japanese comic Vagabond which is very cool and Musashi related.

Thanks all.

Nappy thanks for those encouraging remarks. Remember, I made it pretty clear in all of my interviews about the Echo story that this was an Echo story. The job that I was given was to write an Echo story that was not in the DD series.

So of course it would be better recieved as an Echo story. It's too bad that some readers were judging it not based on what it is, and what the object of the story is, but what they decided before hand that it should be. When those readers get over that initial hump, and judge it on what it is, and what the purpose of it is, they seem to be able to begin to see the story for the first time and really enjoy it.

If I was asked to write at Daredevil story, I would have written a Daredevil story. But that was not the story that I was asked to write. So of course it only peripherally involves DD.
I'm glad to see that the readers who did not see understand this at the outset are starting to see it and dig it.

And of course, thanks to all of you who have seen and understood, and enjoyed this story from the get go.

If you dig it, check out Kabuki for what I think is the best presentation of my work in comics.

Best,
DM


The people who didn't dig it or understand it are probably the same people who get off on Liefeld's lame non-rendering and one-note expressions. And John Byrne's writing. So there's no accounting for taste. I dug it. 100%. It's nice to see a mainstream comic go for something a little avant-garde.

It's about Kabuki, Bendis, and art and writing.

I finished Circle of Blood.

It was deep. And not in that whole 60's hippie babble way either.

It was good. I may not get to Volumes 2-6 for a while. But One was good.

And my wallet steps up its plans to kill me.

Yes, I now too officially Back the Mack.
