[Ghoulish Delight]

Yay, good to hear Howl's lives up to Ghibli's standard. I'm itching to see it.

We've been on a T.V. series DVD kick. For some reason I just haven't been in the mood to sit through full movies at home. We saw the first season of Red Dwarf, one of my all time favorite shows. It's a British sci-fi sitcom and is astoundingly brilliant at times (the time echos episode is a masterpiece). Among other things, cat lovers should see this show.

We've got yet another disc from The Prisoner. "Your nonsense bores me." That show has no end of quoteable weirdness.

And speaking of links between anime and Disney, the first disc of Nadia, the Secret of Blue Water is waiting at home. This is the anime series that is very very very very loosely based on 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (in that they are in a submarine captained by a guy named Nemo...that's about where the similarity ends), upon which Disney's Atlantis is very very very very very very very loosely based (the main character chicks look a lot alike, they both have a glowy necklace, and Atlantis is involved). So there's this lovely tenuous link that brings it full circle from 20,000 Leagues back to Disney.

On the full length movie front, currently collecting dust from Netflix is Hidden Fortress, the Kurosawa film that served as a large influence for Star Wars. Gotta get motivated for this 2 hour+ masterpiece. And we watch Bourne Supremecy. It was okay, but not nearly as good as the original.
