Success! To a degree...
In a previous post, I outlined a plan to buy Book of Five Rings, Shonen Jump (June 2004 Issue), and The Last Samurai(DVD). And I somewhat succeeded.
Yesterday, a trip to Barnes & Noble yielded a copy of Yamamoto Tsunetomo's Hagakure, which was my backup purchase should Five Rings not be in stock. Also, I procured the latest Shonen Jump. Which, by the way, has a preview of the Bleach manga, which looks awesome and is also coming stateside this summer in handy graphic-novel form.
As for The Last Samurai, I was unable to buy it. I did, however, watch it. Ah, the miracles of the video rental... place.
Tom Cruise stars in The Last Samurai as a disillusioned alcoholic named Nathan Algren who has become tired of living due to a combination of horrific incidents and plain bad luck. Of course, he gets assigned to go over to Japan and help crush a samurai rebellion. I won't ruin any more of the story, but I will say this: The Last Samurai is Tom Cruise at his best. I've seen most of his movies, and this movie shows that he is an extremely capable actor. Plus, he learned Kendo for the movie, which is just awesome. Maybe he'll get to fight Angelina Jolie in the next Tomb Raider!
In short, buy Hagakure, buy Last Samurai, and get a subscription to Shonen Jump.
"Good God, man, look at all the italics!"
