I read Japanese novelist Yukio Mishima’s “The Temple of the Golden Pavilion” a lifetime ago.

Today I finally got a chance to see The Golden Pavilion — seen here between Pegi and me like some figment of our imaginations!

Somewhere in the Toyama Prefecture of Japan, I made paper today — 1920 years after Chinese official Ts’ai Lun invented what is now known as paper!

“Better late than never” is what I say!

In the 4th picture in this post, see the three small sheets (in a row) that I created.

Now, at 2:15 AM JST, seems a good time to announce a small company I started not so long ago…

A sign for the queue to see the giant panda offers three different ways to say, “Don’t be THE LINE JUMPER.”

My previous short film, titled THE LINE JUMPER, haunts me — but in a good way!

Hugh Murchison @hughmurchison.bsky.social · 9d

Thank you, Super Mario! I’m thrilled to be here!

Hugh Murchison @hughmurchison.bsky.social · 12d

Nope. The feeling is ageless. Congratulations!!

"Takes a village," as they say. This is mine for the short film THE BRIDE & GOON that I wrote, directed, and co-produced.

Filming THE BRIDE & GOON wrapped this past weekend.

With that, the long awaited follow-up to my THE LINE JUMPER, is nearer at hand –- or “at paw,” in cat-speak!

Hugh Murchison @hughmurchison.bsky.social · 16d

Replying here only to confirm that you called it -- Kimmel's first words last night after a brief interruption of Kimmel's show!

Hugh Murchison @hughmurchison.bsky.social · 16d

Future Oscar-winning actors in rehearsal the day before my short film THE BRIDE & GOON begins shooting.

Hugh Murchison @hughmurchison.bsky.social · 17d

And I would LOVE for you to have collected on that bet, Bill -- less for your financial gain than for the big laugh and the bigger dig that Kimmel's first words would've created.

Hugh Murchison @hughmurchison.bsky.social · 22d

Yes, GAVIN NUISANCE, as Trump might call the CA governor, is baaack and his return couldn't be more welcome and diverting!

Kara Swisher @karaswisher.bsky.social · 22d

He’s baaack

SWALWELL (CONT'D): ...Oh, and yes, I am wearing a "Jimmy Kimmel Live" ball cap!...Talk about somebody who got a "dirty deal!"

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · 22d

Swalwell: There’s going to be a Democratic majority in just over a year. To the FCC chairperson and anyone in involved in these dirty deals: get a lawyer and save your records because you’re going to be in this room answering questions

Hugh Murchison @hughmurchison.bsky.social · 23d

More proof that sequels are WORSE than their originals --

-- in this case, Disney's "IGER SANCTION," featuring Jimmy Kimmel versus The Malpaso Company's "EIGER SANCTION," featuring Clint Eastwood!

Keith Olbermann @olbermann.bsky.social · 23d

DISNEY, BOB IGER, ABC PROSTITUTE THEMSELVES FOR TRUMP: Kimmel off air for truth telling about Charlie Kirk's hate speech and MAGA exploitation of his death after FCC blackmail

KIRK DIED because he lived in the violent madness of Trump's America

I can name that movie in ZORRO guesses!

Phoef Sutton @phoefsutton.bsky.social · 27d

What movie is this image from? 🎥

Hugh Murchison @hughmurchison.bsky.social · 26d

I distinctly recall watching THE WOLF MAN as a five- or six-year-old and being terrified by Ms. Ouspenskaya's Gypsy Woman almost as much as by Lon Chaney Jr's Wolf Man!

Hugh Murchison @hughmurchison.bsky.social · Sep 11

I can’t decide which Paddy Chayefsky movie I like better, NETWORK or THE HOSPITAL. That’s my thought about THE HOSPITAL, which says a lot about THE HOSPITAL. And about NETWORK!!

I was actually shopping for a writer-director Akira Kurosawa Funko Pop!

But I “did an okay thing” buying the Spike Lee FP.
