HULU, the free, so long as you don't mind a handful of 30 second interludes, video uploading portal has found itself a new film. The 1985 visual masterpiece: RAN, directed by none other than Kurosawa himself! So, now you can't say you don't have an opportunity to check out his films! 3 hours of entertainment, only 12(ish) commercials. I think it's a win-win.
Oh, and in case you've forgotten, you can check out my review here.
Hope you get a chance to check it out!

3 hours of anything is pushing it for me, especially Kurosawa. I've seen two of his films, that satisfied my curiosity.
Ran and Kurosawa are awesome. I don't know that I'd recommend watching it on Hulu for first timers, but I can't really argue with free and streaming tech has been much improved lately.
I will probably seek this out on Netflix as a dozen ads does feel like a lot to go with sitting for 3 hours in front of the computer ;)
Hulu and Netflix Watch Instant are banned up here in Canada and for the life of me, I don't understand why. Where Netfilx is concerned, we have a version called Zip.ca, but it's not nearly as good.
Hearing about options like this really make me think long and hard about getting a US Proxy so I can see these sorts of things.
...even though I've already seen RAN.
