I know TiVo wouldn't do this to me
I love the on-screen guide for Comcast Digital Cable. Except when it's wrong. I've mostly found it to be wrong with VH1, for whatever reason, which isn't too tragic, as the only show on that network that I frequently watch is Best Week Ever. I watched a few episodes of A2Z, though it was mostly because I happened to spot a college improv friend (and probably the funniest guy I've known), Joe Wengert talking about some celebrity. Johnny Depp, if I remember correctly.
But anyway, this time it was wrong about a movie. And it confused the hell out of me for a short while. The guide told me that I was watching Zatôichi, which I've wanted to see for some time. But, in fact, I was watching Zatôichi. Confused? Well, so was I when the main character didn't look anything like Takeshi Kitano (a.k.a. Beat Takeshi). For those who don't know, Takeshi is a director/writer/actor that's made some good movies like Brother and Sonatine. And I'm a fan. TV viewers may have also spotted him in Spike's Most Extreme Elimination Challenge, which is just a redubbed version of the Japanese show Takeshi's Castle.
The reason for all of this confusion is the plethora of Zatôichi films that have been made. In fact, the one that I watched was the twenty-sixth and final film about the legendary blind swordsman by Shintarô Katsu. Interestingly, Shintarô Katsu also did the triple threat of directing, writing and acting in the film. And it was pretty good to boot. That being said, I think I'll keep Takeshi's version in my Netflix queue.
