By and large, TV in the U.S. doesn't feature much source material for my
Asian/Ninja theme creations, but occasionally there are glimmers of hope...
While jogging around the wasteland of TV, I saw an advertisement for a movie
on NBC (U.S. TV network) this coming Sunday, "The Lost Empire". I have only
seen part of the commercial, but it appears to be in the same vein as
Merlin, Arabian Knights, The Odyssey, and the 13th Kingdom. It seems to
have a more fantastical focus than historical (maybe an attempt to
capitalize on the popularity of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon).
Might be interesting, inspirational or an utter waste of time... I'll see if
it inspires me...
Set your VCR...
Incidently, Kurasawa's 7 Samurai is on TCM (Turner Classic Movies) on Monday
from 4:30 - 8:00PM. It's been a long time since I have seen this movie, but
I am looking forward to it. This movie was made in the 50's I believe, and
has been remade into numerous westerns and TV shows.
