Just got the latest Samurai 7 DVD and was pleasantly surprised to see another Mr. Stain episode hidden on it. God, what a wonderful treat. Thought about possible avatars from Samurai 7, but really, none of them are me. Have to stick with Batou.

Saw 2046 a few days ago. Love the music, especially Sibonay. Thought the movie was good. Better if you've seen In The Mood For Love so that you can appreciate how damaged Mr. Chow is. If you're already a fan of Maggie Cheung, Gong Li, Faye Wong, and Zhang Ziyi, it won't hurt.
