As far as miyazaki goes, I've seen his latest movies from poppy hill and where the heart is, also another one which I can't remember the name but all three are very laid back movies, no fantasy, more like everyday people situations with a touch of history going alongside. I liked them, the last movie I thought was like that but with a touch of fantasy was the cat returns, I love that character, he's just so snazzy, I love it. I have a feeling I'm gonna love the wind rises 'cause of my love for airplanes and the direction MIyazaki took with his later movies.
So if you guys wanna feel like shit for a couple hours wacth Grave of the Fireflies, fucking movie is sad as hell. Not a miyazaki movie but made by one of the miyazaki fellas. Great movie but damn it leaves a hole the size of a fist in your heart.
My favorite Miyazaki movie is probably Princess Mononoke.
Hey has anyone catch Conan the future boy? It's basically La Puta prototype story and characters, I preffer Conan but I loved Laputa (Castle in the sky), btw La Puta means The Whore, just no you know...oh and Putanesca means my dear whore, oh Italian is such a lovely language...whores are dear we should all know that, MIyazaki thinks so.
