What Swanky Things are you Watching?

Wouldn't Disney be considered American pop culture, NA? And you have much Disney interest.

I saw Kinsey, Batman Begins, and Howl's Moving Castle.

Kinsey was a lovely biopic, unflinching in its look at both Kinsey and his subject of interest. Lovely performances and characterizations, plus I could listen to Peter Sarsgaard speak for hours.

Batman Begins IS the best Batman ever made. Period. Perhaps even the best superhero movie made, in terms of performance and screenplay. Really fantastic. Gotham was amazing. Wilkinson's and Oldman's American accents were phenoms, and Murphy's was also totally believable. He was a wonderful Scarecrow, as well. Oldman's tender hearted subtle Gordon was a delight to watch. And Liam Neeson was AWESOME. I was super, super impressed with him, even more than usual. Nice contrast to Kinsey, since I'd only seen that they day before. It was dark and serious, but I laughed out loud numerous times.

Howl's Moving Castle was lovely. The castle was hugely innovative and a delightful take on DWJ's invention, from what I've read. The characters were all really well conceived and necessary. Lovely to watch. I wasn't as impressed as I was with Spirited Away, but I think that might be one of the most impressive films ever made, so it's steep competition.

Yes, you are absolutely correct. There are certain things about American pop culture that I truely love, but I am endlessly choosy. I haven't gotten to the point where I am terribly choosy about Japanese Pop as of yet. I'm sure I'll weed out what doesn't appeal to me as time goes on.
