SUNTORY Reserve Whiskey- Lost in Translation.

Wow---you think Copolla and Sean Connery really drink Japanese whiskey??  Just the fact that Kurosawa supposedly directed the Copolla commercial-- has me wanting to go buy a bottle.  Akira Kurosawa!  The legend!  Too funny.  I gotta' make a whiskey or a scotch-- for real.  My advertisements would be this weird-- that is the vibe.

Star Wars is the most extendable brand in the Universe. Lucas could licensce damn near every category in the world and somehow--- it could work.  But this one?  Yoda back pack yes...but chewie?  Maybe we need a Star Wars fragrance...
