Now, if you buy the Seven Samurai DVD set instead and show it to Logan every day for the first year of his life, he will not only learn to appreciate the arts and the cinema (and perhaps become a multi-million dollar earning film director), but he will also learn the way of the samurai, which will obviously pay back big time when he graduates to the sandbox age. With the skills in fighting and diplomacy that he will acquire from the movie, he will rise to dominate the neighbourhood with his charisma and keen eye for justice. As a result, he will grow up to be a socially extremely competent person, and will go on to do great things. Actually, this is in fact a direct quote from the back cover of the Criterion DVD set. ;) On a more serious mode, I actually haven't got the box set yet, myself. But that is partly because, while the set is expensive as it is, postage to where I live would about double its price. So I'm waiting for cheaper eBay versions to drift my way.
