Will start watching Shogun on the weekend. The response has been very positive.

I am also looking forward to this.  I saw an article last week talking about the phenomenal success of the James Clavell novel and the equally phenomenal success of the the TV miniseries that was made back in the early 1980s. It was obviously before my time and I didn't realize that the book and TV series had been so huge.

Speaking of Disney. Inside North Korea's Dynasty. A National Geographic mini series on the Kim family. They really are awful people.

I did not authorize this biography and I'm exploring legal options.

Watched the first two episodes of Shogun and it lives up to its press. It has been a big hit in Japan because of the accurate way it portrays Japanese society and culture, something western movies about Japan have never done. Having worked for the Japanese and spent a lot of time there I'm finding it fascinating and the Japanese characters the most interesting.
