lots of times spent buying and watching old favourites on DVD and checking out movies I'd hadn't previously got round to seeing.

Tokyo Story is amazing. One of the best ever. Heartbreaking in parts.

Just yesterday got a copy of The Lost Weekend from a trade. Not seen it yet. Looking forward to it.

Hey Northern Sky - pictures - very nice!

I did like Howls Moving Castle a lot tho' not quite as much as Spirited Away - I wonder will Mr. Miyazaki get any thing out this year
- That Indian One looks nice - don't think its made it to these shores yet any ways

I thought HMC was Miyazaki's least interesting film to date. Not out-and-out bad, but it didn't really do much for me. Not even close to his best (not that anyone cares, but Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind would be my own personal fave of his).

I dunno what Miyazaki Senior is working on right now (possibly nothing, as he's supposedly thinking of re-retiring), but the Tales of Earthsea film directed by his son came out in South Korea and Japan last year, so I assume it'll be showing up here soon enough.

You keep your ticket stubs?
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder?

You were right about those six films at the end. Especially Hostel.

 

[Mitchum]

I forgot about Syriana and Goodnight & Goodluck. Maybe 2006 wasn't so bad after all.

just compensating for a bad memory

Fucking dreadful piece of stillborn drivel.

Roth's a fucking talentless hack.

How did that go?!?!

I really liked it me self.

- Apparently it's to be followed by one from the Japanese point of view - hopefully Clint has got a few years left in him cos that sounds like a great idea

I thought the guy playing Ira Hayes was deadly and that the film dealt with the whole issue of an "injun" hoisting the flag and the consequences very well - sad tale
