It's just not fair that Marco has to remain

[jobycom]

a pig, while egotistical jerks like Curtis get to breeze through life without a care, except not being able to marry Gina. Or Fio. It just sucks.

1. is this some kind of soap opera?

7. Japanese Anime. Hayao Miyazke. Best director/artist in the world.

Debatably.

2. You know...

I do not have a fucking clue what you are talking about. Just wanted to say hi!

:hi:

[jobycom]

3. Sigh. Not a Miyazaki fan, eh?

[southlandshari]

4. You know this had to happen eventually.

:P

[jobycom]

5. True, true. But then, since you didn't recognize the plot

you haven't seen the film. There's still a chance!

[southlandshari]

9. I hope so!

But you are going to have to tell what I need to watch, because I'm still lost on this one!

:hide:

11. We own that one too. And ...

Kiki's Delivery SErvice
Princess Mononoke
Spirited Away
My Neighbor Toturo
Naussica, Valley of the Winds
Castle Castigliari
Castle in the Sky
Porco Rosso
The Cat Returns

Have I left any out?

We are awaiting the DVD release of "Howl's Moving Castle" with great anticipation.

12. I think there are others that haven't been released in English

A friend of mine has one that's set in Africa. She has a French version, but there is no English one. I haven't seen it yet.

I've just vowed to own every one of them. We got Kiki when it came out on VHS, and I've been hooked ever since. I later saw Princess Mononoke (which is over-rated, IMO, but still great), but never bought it. The only one I haven't seen is Howl's Moving Castle.

13. Howl is great!!! not quite on par with "Spirited Away" but still

beautiful and quite good. We drove to a theatre about 30 miles away to see it because we knew we would not get to see it if we held out for the slim chance that the local theatres would show it.

We were wise to do this. The theatre was full though. I will pounce on that DVD in an eyeblink.
LOL we will probably end up with 3 copies: my kid will buy it, my husband will buy and I will buy it.
