The perfect noodle...

There was a movie I saw ages and ages ago that kept me laughing through the whole thing, but I could never remember the name of it --- "Tampopo" (aka "Dandelion"), from 1985. In searching for the title, I came upon Roger Ebert's review of it and laughed all over again ---

"The hero is Goro (Tsutomu Yamazaki), a lone rider with a quizzical smile, who rides a semi instead of a horse. Along with some friends, he stages a search for the perfect noodle restaurant but cannot find it."

In addition to the title, I'd forgotten the main character was named "Goro"!! :-D Maybe there was something to this idea of Saitou/Fujita being a soba aficionado? Sounds like the perfect plot for an RK parody. (I can even imagine it as a PMK parody... the search being somewhat more mystical...)

It's a hilarious film... check it out if you get the chance.
