Exactly, but since when is Hollywood a government agency? I was making a point based on the fact that any rules that are made to restrict choice are generally called communist (in ideal, especially when it's made to even the playing field) in America. Maybe the communist remark was a bit facetious....

Tadanobu Asano all the way!! ^__^;; I've been addicted to his films. He's very indie, but I'd love to see him act in America!

I love him in Ichi and ZATOICHI. Asano-san should best produce more GOOD Japanese films.

I had several friends who saw Hero and came back saying something like: It was cool, but I didn't know it was subtitled. You're giving some people way too much credit.

imamess, thanks for the intelligent response. Unlike someone I know... I do agree with some of the thing you say and disagree with the rest.

@captain nippon Well since you dont seem to be a Kdrama expert. Kdramas arent 16 episodes generally. It depends on the drama not the rating. Most dramas can be categorized into the 16episode dramas and 20 episode dramas. 95% of all Kdramas run either of them without extension or being cut off. Most...

captain-nippon

Even if a Kdrama has bad ratings (i am talking about very bad ratings) they will still run it as planned. Maybe they cut about 2 episodes of the planned episodes but not more. But usually they dont. So the length gets primarily decided by content and not by success. If they get extended, its just a...
