Yojimbo is also a movie

I went to the library wednesday to find an old Bond movie, or something with Marylin Monroe in it. I didn't find either, but I did see Yojimbo, which was weird because I had played with Yojimbo-the-software earlier in the day. It is a subtitled black and white samauri/western made in 1961. It's flat in plot, character, and dialogue, but wicked funny and the main character is pretty awesome because he basically kills everyone and justifies it with his flat pessimism/black humor. The moral of the story is that "a long life eating porridge is best."
