I have a feeling that I might have "Yojimbo'd" a good deal of the audience that reads these blog posts, if anyone reads them at all. To see what I mean by "Yojimbo'd," well, watch Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo, and then watch the sequel, Sanjuro. Yes, watch both of them, all the way through to the bitter end. Those in my audience who really needed, nay, deserved a good "Yojimbo-ing" will only upon watching BOTH MOVIES, ALL THE WAY THROUGH, will only then truly appreciate what a good, righteous "Yojimbo-ing" they just experienced.
I implore the members of my audience who experienced this good, righteous "Yojimbo-ing" to savor this moment while it lasts. I'm getting old. I'm tired. How do I know? I didn't even feel like watching Yojimbo and Sanjuro on the home theater screen tonight. I watched Nebraska starring, among others, Bruce Dern and Will Forte. I've seen all or parts of the two Kurosawa movies many, many times. I know what happens. I've never seen Nebraska, so I watched that movie instead. Maybe the day will come when I more identify with Bruce Dern in Nebraska over Toshiro Mifune in the two Kurosawa movies. Maybe that day is today.
