Of course, Yojimbo itself was ripping off Dashiell Hammett…

I know you probably didn’t mean “ripping off” to be derogatory in that context, but anyone who thinks that’s overly derivative is not going to enjoy Japanese genre films…

What did you think of that woman who was the female pornography publisher, Diane was her name?

I’m curious to know whether her claim that self-confident jock types fixate on breasts and insecure men with Oedipal sexual fixations fixate on legs/butts/vaginas has ever been believed by anyone else. Is Sir Mix-a-Lot’s Crumb-reaction-video available on Youtube?

and he says that the scene where Crumb poses with all those girls for that magazine shoot was actually a really miserable experience.

Miserable for him? I was wondering whether the girls were enjoying it.
