badluckcrow replied to your post: With that there are now three animated films from Japan in my Top 10 of 2004.
Howl’s Moving Castle came out that year, too.
That’s right. I haven’t seen it, but I haven’t seen it yet.
So yeah, 2004 was a banner year.

Mind Game, Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence and now The Place Promised in Our Early Days.
Who’d have thought that 2004 was such a great year for anime?

The Japanese have beautiful melancholia down to a science. Breathtaking visuals married to a plot that manages to be light and dense at the same time. It’s actually quite a remarkable feat marrying a personal trial to a World War in such an effective way. It reminds me a bit of SUMMER WARS in that respect, but this one has *much* more pathos. What’s most striking is the resolution that...

badluckcrow replied to your post: Despite having a film/tv BA I haven’t seen many anime style movies. However, after watching HOWL’S MOVING CASTLE last night I definitely want to delve into the world. I’ve noticed you watch a fair amount of anime and was wondering if you have an opinion on whether dubbed or subbed is better.
Steamboy is…I dunno, I thought it was disappointing.
In all likelihood,...

Let’s just say she likes the idea.

It’s a hiccup in the website whereby sometimes you like something, but no notification shows up on the other end.
Oh, and whoever liked that quote.

Derek: Can I be Neil deGrasse Tyson?
Steph: You'd have to study astrophysics instead of movies.
Derek: I want to be the Neil deGrasse Tyson of movies, then.
Steph: What do you mean?
Derek: Scratch that. I want to be the Neil deGrasse of writing about movies.
Steph: That doesn't make any sense anymore.
Derek: I just want to be good at it.

Might as well tbh. Let’s get Prometheus ready for all the technical awards.
Will DiCaprio get his Best Actor award for The Great Gatsby? Only time will tell.
Maybe we should start polishing up BRAVE's Oscar...

While I’m still slightly uncomfortable with a film like The Artist winning Best Picture this year (although I’d have enjoyed seeing The Tree of Life or even Hugo up there), I don’t think it’s a bad movie by any standards. I mean, just think about how hard it is to find actors who can genuinely find the means to draw you in and express the same sentiments through only facial...

that’s why opinions are subjective

Coulda done better.
This was a serviceable Academy Awards.
Glad The Artist cleaned up the big ones it was nominated for.
