The only time I #beheld (ie in person) Mr #JamesHong was at the #Burbank Media Center Mall

I was there to see the #IronGiant on a big screen many years before I got my first #HDTV

I got there early and chose to wait near the main entrance where they had the largest carousel I was aware of in LA

While I was watching the crowd lined up for next ride I noticed Mr Hong walking towards me before veering towards the theatre escalators

Being a bigger movie fan than #Tarantino, I recognized him immediately from the many movie roles Id seen him in and thought he looked a lot taller as #LoPan

#BigTroubleInLittleChina has been one of my all time fav movies since seeing it in a theatre

I attempted a discreet little wave of my hand on the rail when he glanced my way but observed no reaction

The IG turned out to be among the best 2D animated movies made in last 30 years

“Also I was in the spirit vision and beheld a parricidal pomp of atheists, coupled by two and by two in the supernal ecstasy of the stars. They did laugh and rejoice exceedingly, being clad in purple robes and drunken with purple wine, and their whole soul was one purple flower-flame of holiness.”
