Has Orson seen/reviewed any of these films? Anything from Hayao Miyzaki? I seen an article for Spirited Away but it contained no text on the film within the link. Sin City meanwhile was a big film, but not reviewed. Maybe one that turned him off by it's name?

As for Elephant, it's a rather less noticed film. I had a really strong loathing for it morally and intellectly after seeing it. I always find Orson very level headed though and was hoping he saw it. It's supposedly very layered over in it's purpose and manipulative. Almost entirely non-personal, if not morally insulting.

Anyway, thanks for any help. Hopefully I can get the questions out of the way with my first post, and get to contributing. I'd love to hear anyone else's opinion too.

Oh, and sorry if this is the wrong forum for such a topic. I wasn't quite sure.

There's nothing said in the article about Spirited Away though.

I remember OSC loves Miyazaki's movies.

Watch "Grave of Fireflyes", people. But don't blame me if you cry...

Lindsay and I watched Grave of the Fireflies last fall and it did absolutely NOTHING for us.

We have no hearts I guess.

Well, duh. You read Pitchfork, so there's a certain level of ironic detachment necessary. Try inserting "Well, duh" after every second sentence, and it'll be more moving.

lol. Thanks. And yeah, I'm a huge fan of Princess Mononoke, as well as just about all the rest of his work.

I enjoyed the month of Miyazaki on TMC that I was able to catch and enjoyed getting to see all of Princess Mononoke on Cartoon Networks Month of Miyazaki. Although I will be glad to see castle in the sky then saturday I wish it was on TMC since they don't show commercials like Cartoon Network does, the made Spirited Away three hours long when it is just about two on Turner Classic Movies.

I was hoping they would show Howl's Moving Castle on Cartoon Network but they didn't, now I will have to rent and/or buy it.

When did this happen?! I'm sad I missed it.

I actually bought "Princess Mononoke" this weekend. I bought "Howl" two weeks ago and got all my never-seen-anime friends hooked on Miyazaki. It may be his "love story" but even the guys loved it. My boyfriend has already seen it twice and is dying to see it again.

Then I think we're gonna rent "Castle in the Sky" and "Grave of the Fireflies." I'd like to own them both but I'm broke at this moment. *sigh*
