ETA: I wonder, is anyone screening it with the original vocal tracks and subtitles? If not, DVD it is.

I will be seeing Ponyo this weekend. The guys should feel happy I waited, there was actually a midnight showing last night but I didn't go.

My understanding is that there are not any Japanese track prints out there (they tried it in the past and they seriously underperformed).

Hope I'm wrong, but if the Kabuki in San Fransisco (in the middle of Japantown) is showing it dubbed I'd guess everybody is.

Grumble. Here's hoping it makes it to DVD before February.

Heheh, did you count the words till the magic one that hooked me, GD?

Think I'll see this at DTD sometime Sunday afternoon while SuPeR K! and my roommate play at Disneyland (or maybe I can convince them to join me). Anyone else in the neighborhood interested?

This is one I'd definitely prefer to see with the original Japanese language tracks, but I don't suppose that will be an option at the Downtown Disney AMC.

Just the stills in that review made me want to run to see this - so I guess I will.

I'm going to see Ponyo. I love a good number of Hayao Miyazaki's films...

I've been watching a slew of them all week. So unintentionally primed!

flippyshark · 08-14-2009, 05:47 PM

I see elsewhere that the script for the English dub is by John Lasseter. That gives it at least a little street cred. (And it looks as though there really is no other option.) Like iSm, I've been having a very Ghibli week as well. (And as part of work no less. tee hee)

I could use a movie break about now.
