Because I discovered so many new-to-me gems in 2023, I'm considering getting back on board for the (if any?) #Bales2025FilmChallenge. Is this a thing? Will this be a thing? And where did @thisiseuge go?

#HappyNewYear and to many more discoveries in 2024!

#Bales2023FilmChallenge December 29: a clock face on #TickTockDay
Both #YukioMishima's story and #KenjiMisumi's 1964 adaptation Ken [Sword] (1964) follow arrogant #kendo student Jiro, #RaizōIchikawa who also appears in an earlier Mishima adaptation, Enjô (1958).
