This is specifically a reply to Dan, whom I have too much respect for to ignore.
If I see my function as anything here, it's to try to occasionally unearth clips or images that have not been widely circulated on the Net. I have a pretty good idea now of which images have been seen over and over and it takes me a long time to find anything worthwhile usually.
I was fully aware that the clip came from Cinema Swats when I put it on here, but it was already on the Net (on a sadly SFR-like Czech site possibly run by a woman), so I thought it was fair game and all I was doing was letting Dan know I knew he had been the one who first unearthed it and put it on his seminal Cinema Swats.
The point is that a lot of people now have never seen those original Cinema Swats, as they have virtually disappeared from the web in the form they were back in the days of Arild, when they were easy to locate. Certainly, I had never before seen the full long clip of Oshiritataki and had ALWAYS WANTED TO. That's why I thought others might feel the same way.
That's all I meant. I certainly never meant to offend.
All the best
