It's hot, it's muggy, it's unpleasant. In other words, summer in NC. Actually, it did cool off a bit tonight after the rain but that's mostly "cool" in a relative sense. It's certainly cooler than it was but not what any objective observer would call actually cool.
The other night, I watched Kurosawa's Sanjuro. Excellent movie, featuring a super laid back performance by Toshiro Mifune. While I was watching, it reminded my quite a bit of Yojimbo. Turns out that it was made when Toho requested a sequel to Yojimbo and some of the similarities between the two stories were accentuated when they were making Sanjuro.
