Sorry to go off topic, but I just heard of Google’s free service, Google Alerts, which sends you an e-mail every time your keywords newly appear on the Internet. I have not tried it out myself and I am not sure if you know this already, but I just thought it would be helpful to you in gathering Kurosawa-related news.

Google Alerts and Yahoo Alerts have actually been two of the most important sources from where I gather the news articles. Topix.net is another fairly good one.

In addition to those I use a handful of blog searches, forum monitoring and video service checkers.
