What I found disapointing about Howl's Moving Castle was the lack of a deeper, more socialy conscious point. I don't really care about that stuff, it's just that I was expecting it, since all the other films had it, and it's usually quite well done. All there was in HMC was "yeah... stop this dumb war".

Yeah initially I was dissapointed by that, but when you take it for what it is, there's still a lot to enjoy about it. how often do you see an animated movie where the protagonist is a 90 year old woman?

one thig I noticed with Tony Scott ... is he has this thing with a beat up couch on a hill, and some character nursing him/herself on it ... saw it in Domino and True Romance and I am pretty sure another movie he directed.

while I am at it, another repeating scene is Harvey Keitel combing his hair with a wet comb in front of a mirror in flicks ... he has done this in numerous flicks.

anyone else pickup similar repetitions in films???

i.e. John Woo and the goddamned doves?
 
Hayao Miyazaki movies are pretty much entirely made up of themes that can be identified in all the films in some way. Kinda cool, kinda annoying, I'd say.
 
SIX STRING SAMURAI

this movie is so totally cheesy .. and yet... at the same time.. absolutely ROCKS!!!

100% fun

great soundtrack, too.
 
will watch CINDERELLA MAN later ... is it as good as everyone says?

I need to catch the Soprano's first ... missed the second episode Sunday ...
 
man, as much of a big Scorsese and DeNiro fan I am ... Raging Bull being one of the best boxing movies ever ...

Cinderella Man just took home the new trophy for that ...

and Russel Crowe ... I have yet to see him in a movie where he does not impress ... what a string of classics he has built up.

LOL ... I thought your "it fucking ruled" comment above was about Cinderella Man ... I guess it was about the Sopranos.

Yeah, Quick and the Dead was a joke. He was also in that one with Denzel Washington, something about a VR program that becomes real or something lame. And he was in that horrid one with Meg Ryan after Gladiator, where her husband got kidnapped by guerrilas in South America.

But, he's also been in some greats, so he's got some cred.
