EDIT: Hmm... well not to be the odd one out, here is a real picture of me circa five years ago (sunburnt with my trademark Joker grin I might add) that I'm just going to lift off my site as I'm too lazy to scan in a more recent one:

I'm mostly satisfied, though it might turn out completely different once I actually get the system...

Pretty close to accurate.

Yeah that is my senior picture, I do not like having my picture taken often though (in fact I hate it!)
. I have another on my myspace.com account as well (the link is in my profile).

It might look more like you if you moved the facial features down a bit.

some slight editing in paint. the one with red hair is actually an homage to my senior photo in the highschool yearbook, the second one i thought would be appropriate for PGC

ok fine, I was just playing around (I didn't even make that myself)
Here's Me:
My hair color is somewere in between those 2 colors so I just made both.

(I apologize for the poor quality of the real pic, trust me my real skin tone is about that of the Mii)
It's not bad at all. Some of the options need to be fleshed out more and downloadable updates are a MUST for the REAL Wii Channel. With the body sizing option I think it's Mii alright. I'm WAY slimmer than the default size. I think just about anyone who knows me would match me with my Mii (anyone following mii?) if it were placed among all the others on this thread.
But is it me or are some of the eye options incredibly, INCREDIBLY wrong? Maybe I'm just being my over-sensitive uber-liberal self.

The opportunity rarely comes up on any forum, PGC included... ;-)
But yeah, Japanese cinema as a whole tends to interest me, although I'm much more into their live action films then animation, which tends to be a rare preference.
Post by: Svevan on October 04, 2006, 12:00:16 PM
I'm just very into Kurosawa: just got the new Seven Samurai DVD from Criterion, it is so sweet. My other faves include Throne of Blood and Yojimbo (praying for a Yojimbo/Sanjuro boxset soon!). I mainly follow Criterion as a way to branch out into other directors, so the only other Toho films I'm really interested in are the Samurai trilogy and Onibaba - also of course the original restored Godzilla, which I hear is not a very good DVD (according to both you and DVDBeaver).

Yes, I love that set. Criterion really did a fantastic job restoring that film and I was so happy when the first scene came up and it wasn't plagued by a ton of print damage.

Oh, nice choices. I also love "Throne of Blood" and "Yojimbo", which is my second favorite Kurosawa film behind "Seven Samurai". I overall tend to prefer his older films as opposed to his newer, 1980's and beyond productions, although "Ran" is a fantastic film. "Ikiru" along with "High and Low" are some others ones that I very much enjoy from Kurosawa, and the only one that wasn't quite my cup of tea (although I wouldn't say I disliked it by any stretch) is the "Lower Depths".

Yeah, Criterion does a good job of picking some of the cream of the crop from Toho's vast library of films. I love Hiroshi Inagaki's Samurai trilogy, especially the first although that seems to be an unpopular preference in that regard. The current region 1 discs for those films aren't so hot, though, and I really wish Criterion would spring for an enhanced release sometime in the near future.
Speaking of other Criterion titles, have you ever seen Kihachi Okamoto's "Sword of Doom" or Masaki Kobayashi's "Samurai Rebellion"? Those are another two, non-Kurosawa, gems from Criterion.

It's not bad I guess, I was just really disappointed with the video quality, especially the cropping at the top. Someone really needs to restore that film.
Post by: Svevan on October 04, 2006, 08:03:47 PM
Edit: Forgot to say that I agree with you about The Lower Depths. It has substance I guess, and a great ending, but a little bit too much of Kurosawa's typical loud over-dramatic performances.
