    Artjrk is now Yojimbo

    No longer am I:
    Art junior K
    Art JRK
    Art Jerk

    My kids and scouts call me Jimbo, but that was taken.

    But Yojimbo was free and I like it.

    Yojimbo (用心棒) is a 1961 jidaigeki (period drama) film directed by Akira Kurosawa starring Mifune.

    In 1964, Yojimbo was remade as A Fistful of Dollars, a spaghetti western starring Clint Eastwood.

    Mifune's character became the model for John Belushi's Samurai Futaba character on Saturday Night Live.

    Last Man Standing (1996), a Prohibition-era gangster thriller starring Bruce Willis, is an officially authorized remake of Yojimbo.

    So now I can be associated with Kurosawa, Clint Eastwood, John Belushi, and Bruce Willis. I like that.
