Global 1940 Wittman and Private Panic vs Credulous and Elrood

Not 2 days ago the Japanese tenno Hirohito (yours truly) was given a heir to the throne.

Celebrations are still going on and thus Japanese involvement in international affairs is at a recess.

Please bear with us for the time being and enjoy the peace as long as it lasts.

Thanks for the time to message. Enjoy those first few days. I hope you are off work. I won’t be!
Best of luck.

I am!  :-D

Seems like I have more dolce vita here than you, after all.  8-)

Japan’s turn when you are back Elrood.

I think it is you who should have been enjoying the peace up until now. Sleepless nights and a screaming baby await you. Enjoy!

Love the Yojimbo image BTW. It’s a great film.

Recognizing kurosawas work?! I like you already.  :-)

I only make clever friends, Elrood.
PP is a gentleman too.

A gentleman? Mmmm! Not what my wife says!

Kurosawa! Seven Samurai is one of my top ten all-time best films. But Throne of Blood & Yojimbo and others are excellent too. Just bought Throne of Blood (last saw it 25 years ago) and Rashomon.

Show off!

Nice! I can recommend: Akahige (redbeard?). Its a very good movie as well… with Mifune Toshiro of course.

Thanks SebastiAn - I’ll look that one out.

Bought it! Had better be good! :-)
