Man, I liked the movie. Read the book and I much prefer the novel. Saw the movie again, and it could barely keep my interest, the animation and the characters of Howl and Sophie aside. The contemporary element in the novel was abrupt, but it certainly didn't bother me as much as it did you, and I still prefer it.
Watched Whispers of the Heart for the first time. Now THAT is a Ghibli movie that recieves my full support. The story, animation, characters, little asides...it was just a perfect movie in every way. I fell madly in love with it.
The second time I watched Howl, I found myself wanting to fast forward some parts. Ah, well. To each her own.
