I love Chinese made movies, some of the best in the world, but isn't the theme of combat and ancient warriors totally played out? Let me guess, scenes of wire fu also.

The sad thing is, Teruyuki wasn't joking at all. Einstein of the year award though.

Great for these people. Once again it shows the initiative and charitable work Japanese citizens engage in, quite different from other nations at times.

I visited this museum years ago and it is a very moving and fitting tribute to those who lost their lives. Japanese citizens also visit the Pearl Harbor monument. I would like to visit the new one soon.

Interesting movie indeed. Somehow I doubt a movie will be made in China about a love story between a Japanese male and a Chinese female set during the 1940's in China.

So many but the one that will always stick out is the egg eating contest in Cool Hand Luke. R.I.P.

The correct response to incidents like these is not to bring in excuses galore, but to offer a full apology. The pro war crowd also needs to learn this, to offer regret, not make excuses. Fact is troops can ill afford to allow these "friendly fire" incidents to pile up as has been going on, with the mess things are already in. This isn't the time to be arrogant, if it were the other way around and Iraqi forces accidentally killed U.S. troops the same people here and elsewhere would be screaming for their heads.

Yup, that less than 10 seconds of "polite applause" speaks volumes and is way more telling than what Iran's leader did. Humiliating, dubya.

I think someone here needs to go tell the Marine Corps that Iwo Jima and the Pacific campaign were "overrated." While 6800 or so Americans died on Iwo Jima, it was spread out over 37 days. D-Day by comparison, Americans suffered anywhere from 1400 to 2500 killed in action depending on what sources you look at. A much higher kill ratio. People can debate the relative strategic importance of capturing Iwo Jima, but it's importance to the Marines and the U.S. military is of much higher than strategic.

Not much. I can already guess, since he is so 'hawkish,' that he will as per the routine alienate his asian neighbors with annual visits to Yasukuni, insensitive statements, etc.

Yuki looks fabulous (and no one can complain the usual about "stick figures"). Aya is as always great.

That incidents like these keep happening, and especially in places like Finland, with the perpetrator(s) copying Columbine style, should make all people scared and worried about world youth (and the internet/media's influence).
