EDIT- Oh damn, forgot Grave of the Fireflies. Although what I said above is totally true, Grave is much better, if only because it's an autobiography of the maker of the film and his childhood in WWII. And he was so depressed about it he had himself die in the movie. Pretty much the most perfect piece of animation there is.

You're trippin. Anything done by Miyazaki is waaaaaay better. The only thing Grave has going for it is how depressing it is. Definitely not what I would consider entertaining.

Never said it was entertaining. It is a thought provoking film that takes a very serious, in depth look at actual events in the life of Akiyuki Nosaka, the writer of the book the movie is based on. I just find actual, real-life events more interesting/worthy than fiction. Not bashing Miyazaki, he's an absolute genius, I just think Grave is the better movie. Not by much, mind you.

Other than that it was an ok movie. I did like how it ended, and it was quite sad/disturbing.

Man I hate Sophie. Peep Show was so great. I just finished it two days ago. Seven series and I could have gone for a little more.

yeah dude i just watched it. It might as well be a miyazaki movie, thankfully it excludes a lot of the fluff and formulaic bullcrap the latter studio gibli films have devolved into.

I loved it man super duper sad tho.

Mononoke is still the best tho. Whoever did the voice of the mother wolf in that film deserved some type of award.

Watched 'The Third Man' again today. Probably one of the 10 greatest film noirs.

That really is such a great movie. Interesting side note: Orson Welles actually did a radio program called The Lives of Harry Lime in the early 50s that functioned as a prequel to the movie. I used to have a couple of the episodes, pretty good stuff.

Was browsing Netflix and looking for something a little creepy. Ended up watching "The Haunting of Julia" starring Mia Farrow. Was not prepared for how much it creeped me out.

It's not gory or fast-paced...it creeps along, building onto the eerie atmosphere until the very dark conclusion. I still feel a bit uneasy.
