Hello KineJapan members,
My name is Michael Badzik, and I am an electrical engineer living and
working in California's Santa Clara Valley (a.k.a. Silicon Valley,
although
I dislike calling it that).
My interest in Japanese films is something I fell into naturally, as the
intersection of an interest in Japan sparked by my experiences there as
a high school exchange student many years ago, and an interest in film
that took hold during my university years.
And while I am interested in serious film study, I am also interested in
Japanese television. My main interest here is the television "drama" -
frequently denigrated (often correctly) as soap opera, wonderful mirror
on Japanese society, useful tool for study of the modern spoken language.
And occasionally well acted, thought provoking entertainment as well.
But for some reason television is rarely mentioned on this list - at least
since I joined, anyway.
Enough about me already.
