I Live in Fear

[luke]

There are 8 cases in my living room. They terrify me. I am their slave, they are the task master. To them, I must bow.

Once I crack those cases, my life changes, and the work never ends.

I am a slave to the wheel.

Well, at least you get to enjoy that great new book smell (There's always a silver lining :P)

I'm ashamed I didnt know that one. I had to google it so I wont spoil it.

I'm likely horribly wrong and in short time will be ridiculed and outcast, but isn't it an old Kurosawa flick about crazy old men fleeing nuclear destruction in South America?

But you were close. It's possible that you might have even seen it, Ricky.

WTF?! So you're NOT talking about the Kurosawa film Ikimono no kiroku (I Live in Fear) (http://imdb.com/title/tt0048198/plotsummary) about an old man who's so frightened by the idea of nuclear war that he tries to get his entire family to move to South America?

Edit: D'oh! I see. I didn't have my coffee this morning. I saw "old man" "nuclear" and "South America" in Ricky's post and didn't look more carefully than that. :oops:

You see, that's the problem with internets and search engines, you miss the salient details you would get from actually ingesting the media.

you google, you lose.

Heh! I wasn't playing to win. But I meant that I hadn't read Ricky's post carefully. :lol:

I may be more of a lit guy than I am a film guy, but I've seen a lot of Kurosawa flicks. Especially ones starring Toshiro Mifune.
