Thanks, Nunu. On peering about yesterday, however, I may not be entirely correct in my assumption. Dude does own a phone, it may even be smart ;-)

Arya, I'm reading the book and it is hard but there's nothing in it that isn't there in Keanu's portrayal of Kai - in his eyes, his bearing, his demeanor. Cry.

"Kai watched in fascination as the troupe combined rehearsal and advertisement of their skills even as they traveled, entertaining any other travelers or the people of towns they passed through, at the same time distracting themselves from the boredom of their endless journeying. He knew the social position of actors was no better than his own, and that among themselves their vanity and competitive envy was as legendary as that of the samurai. But still the sight of them made him wish that in some other life he would be reborn as an actor, if only for a few precious moments like this..."

Shout out Joan Vinge, talk to me.

"As its head settled lower to the ground, the kirin looked back at him (Kai) in resignation, without rancor, as if it was recalling a peace it had known in what must now seem like another life. Despite the agony it must be in, trapped in this ravaged body, Kai could still feel the presence of the noble creature it had once been. Its mind was returning as its eyes grew dim and approaching death released it from the unspeakable curse that had been laid upon it.
Its suffering was about to end; he felt its spirit passing through him toward the great spiral of time that was always cycling into the future. Filled with compassion and remorse, Kai raised unsteady hands to it mottled forehead in a futile gesture of apology. Its dark eyes watered, almost as if it was shedding tears, as he struggled to remember the ancient words of a blessing to ease its passage out of this world, back into the spirit realm."

Also notable for the backstory is that the kirin is a peaceful creature but of course this one was cursed by that witch.

Blu-Ray gets all that extra candy.... not fair :|
