Went to the Museum of Moving Image last night (because on Friday nights it's free) to check out the Martin Scorsese exhibit because a few of his movies have been favorites of mine for a long, long time. And the first thing you saw was a short film he made titles The Big Shave, from 1967. So I now share that with you.

So simple but it works, right? My coworker I went with had no idea who Scorsese was.  |

I haven't seen many samurai films. I've seen none actually.

That's a love letter to 70s Kung-Fu films. Seven Samurai, Zatoichi, Yojimbo, those are the movies you are looking for.

I love Scorsese and Kurosawa. Kurosawa's my pick for if I could only watch one director's work for the rest of my life it would be his movies.
Back to the short, I'm . . . cringing. Scorsese always had a dark humor to his work. Wow. I need to watch Monty Python to recover.
