I've just read this a few minutes after it started. My wife had drawn my attention to it. I feared the worst of Woss, and.. of course he starts off about Kurosawa ("the best"), as influence on Hollywood big names, not mentioning Ozu + Mizo, + as if the strengths of Japanese cinema started only in the 50's. Yeah yeah. He's so predictable + he winds me up the wrong way. 

I saw part of Twilight Samurai last night, was less taken with it than first time round, though it's still definitely worthwhile.

Back to Woss; on his first ever Film programme, at the Oscars, he made two elementary factual howlers that showed not only his ignorance but failure even to do proper research/preparation for his big moment. My opinion of him hasn't improved.
