3. Rush Limbaugh is Jabba the Hutt
that is...if the worlds collided...

I'm sick of hearing how he sends voters into democratic primary booths...

4. Why not just call her a poopyface and throw your toys at her?
I'm sure that'll convince some of her voters to switch sides.

7. Which one is Yubaba?
Is she the nice one that the spirit went to live with?

I'm so confused.

12. Thanks.
Yeah... that was pretty naive of me to think that, I guess.

*sigh*

16. I think I have most of Miyazaki's DVDs by now.
I would warmly recommend "Totoro's Neighbors" to all, especially to those with young children. And being a "cat" person, I LOVE that cat-bus!

But I'd probably be particular to whom I'd recommend the others. But "Spirited Away"? I heartily recommend it to ALL here on DU! Right after the first viewing, I watched it again straight through! Since then, I've probably watched it at least 10 times in the past 4 or 5 years. For language practice, I generally watch such films with Japanese sound and English subtitles. But the English soundtrack of that one is SUPERB!

17. Spirited Away was the first one I bought.
:)

I didn't even *know* about Totoro's Neighbors! Thank you! Oh wait, do you mean My Friend Totoro? If you mean the one I've seen, well... oh well. If there's a sequel, though... yay! :D

I love his movies... love love love. Oh, and so do my kids. Heh. :P

19. No, tht's the same video, as much as I'd welcome a sequel!
I was going by my recollection of the Japanese title, "Totoro no Tonari". Looking at the DVD now, I see that it's labeled: "My Neighbor Totoro", which is what you're referring to.

I can see that this will probably be a LONG evening. I may have to watch BOTH "Totoro" and "Spirited Away" to restore my "customary" (ha!) equanimity!

20. Just finished watching "Totoro", amd the news looks pretty good so far!
GO, O'Bama, GO!

I may be able to get through the rest of this evening without watching "Spirited Away". OTOH: I may watch it anyhow!

22. This cracked me up
but I don't think she is Yubaba. I see her more as Tracy Flick from the movie Election.
