Second? by henrydalton	Mar 19th, 2007 10:49:09 AM
Great news :) Miyazaki's films are immense, even if the last 10 seconds of Howl's Moving Castle was the stupidest thing I've seen in quite some time... ;)
To-toro, To-toro.... by henrydalton	Mar 19th, 2007 10:50:20 AM
la la la la la... um.
I Lost My Little Boy by Brendon	Mar 19th, 2007 11:03:33 AM
Wish I knew how those rumours got started, because the conduits were sound, if you know what I mean. Maybe it's a new Takahata project? Who knows. Time will tell. The official Ghibli website is apparently going to host Ponyo images from later today!
I'm not a big anime fan... by beastie	Mar 19th, 2007 11:04:05 AM
... but I can not wait for anything Miyazaki does. The man is a master storyteller who transcends anime.

You're right beastie... by rbatty024	Mar 19th, 2007 11:18:38 AM
I actually think most anime is overrated but Miyazaki's films transcend the medium and culture. He's an artist for those who don't generally like anime, but at the same time he never seems watered down or comprimises his films.
can't wait for the next masterpiece by Evil Hobbit	Mar 19th, 2007 11:26:44 AM
miyazaki is amazing, ghibli is amazing
Summer 2007??? by half vader	Mar 19th, 2007 11:46:44 AM
What, so it's already finished then?
"Key words are "father", "mother", and "cliff"" by newc0253	Mar 19th, 2007 11:56:25 AM
wow. AICN should extend this to all movie news, e.g. for the transformers movie, key words are 'transformer', 'eye' and 'more than meets'. or, for 300, key words are 'spartan', 'persian' and 'big fucking battle'. this will help us illiterate readers to grasp the big concepts more readily.

That was a type-o, it should have read 2008. apologies
I can't wait. by jolaz	Mar 19th, 2007 12:06:47 PM
Could the key words for this movie be..."year's", "Little Miss Sunshine" and "this"?
well by conbarba	Mar 19th, 2007 12:10:28 PM
trip to japan then.
And upon clicking the "here" link I see... by Harry Weinstein	Mar 19th, 2007 12:18:27 PM
...that it's actually images of GORO's son that Grandpa Miyazaki is using for character models, which makes a lot more sense. Given the well-publicized beef between Hayao and Goro, the only thing I can picture Hayao using pictures of Goro for is target practice. To be fair, Nausicaa.net got this wrong also.
Could someone please explain by Fecal Debris	Mar 19th, 2007 12:21:26 PM
what that Harry-troll thing in the corner is supposed to be from? If it's based on a movie, I guess I'm not in the know. It's creepy, that thing, that break dancing bearded cave gnome
Ghibliworld.com's scoop by Badtz	Mar 19th, 2007 12:33:26 PM
To give credit where it's due, Ghibliworld.com had the scoop on this story. I think it's funny that Nausicaa.net is getting the credit but the link goes to the site that originated it.
So anything you feel is better than traditional anime.. by Johnno	Mar 19th, 2007 12:47:04 PM
isn't considered anime? If I feel Stanley Kubrick's movies transcend film... that that mean it's no longer a film? Then what is it? In the end it is anime. There's good stuff, bad stuff, groundbreaking/transcending the norm stuff, and the typical mainstream cookie cutter shit. But it's still anime. You can't just separate what you like and abhor the medium as a whole. Who are you trying to kid? Anyway we've gotta learn more about this flic... like what exactly is the title?
holy shit!! by Fecal Debris	Mar 19th, 2007 12:49:33 PM

This kind of stuff is amazing by godzillasushi	Mar 19th, 2007 12:50:15 PM
His films really just blow everything else out of the water. I wish we had more 2-d stuff in America.
The corner animation by cyberskunk	Mar 19th, 2007 01:04:44 PM
I think it is an homage to a Betty Boop animation called The Old Man of the Mountain. if you use a search engine, you can find a copy you can legally download or stream from a browser.
Little Little Mermaid by Sit and Watch	Mar 19th, 2007 01:11:07 PM
Sea Princess who wants to be human and a boy? Little Mermaidish or not, I'm sure it will be incredible.
corner animation continued by cyberskunk	Mar 19th, 2007 01:11:10 PM
In fact, here. http://tinyurl.com/2tj2zz
thanks cyberskunk by Fecal Debris	Mar 19th, 2007 01:37:02 PM
Usually the animation is something topical. I couldn't place it.
Father, Mother, Cliff by Banky the Hack	Mar 19th, 2007 01:48:14 PM
So this guy is walking along the beach and cliffs by the ocean enjoying a beautiful day when he comes across a sobbing little boy at the top of one of the cliffs. The man crouches down in front of the boy and asks, "What's wrong son?" "Well," answers the boy, "My mommy and daddy were fighting and my mommy pushed my daddy and my daddy pushed my mommy and they both fell over the cliff." So the man stands up and peers over the edge of the cliff, and sees two mangled bodies far below on the rocks, the waves crashing over them. He turns back to the boy, unzips his fly, and says, "Man, it's just not your day is it?"
HEY PEOPLE WHO WENT TO THE POTC THING by Hyphin	Mar 19th, 2007 01:52:17 PM
...how was it...this site hasnt posted anything. Trailer thoughts?
Hyphin by Lissa-Triana	Mar 19th, 2007 02:56:57 PM
It was wonderful! Tons of fun was had with singing of pirate songs, costumes, and the showing of the first movie with a really great print. The trailer was so good as soon as it ended I wanted to see it again... and I guess everyone else did too because they did.
Hyphin by longevitymonk	Mar 19th, 2007 03:03:37 PM
I was at the POTC event. My thoughts on the trailer: The action looks better than the previous two. There's a great shot of Jack Sparrow sword fighting Davy Jones on the mast of a ship as it circles a giant whirlpool and a storm rages around them. There's a giant ship floating across the sands of a desert. Tons of Rush and his beloved monkey. A giant waterfall at the end of the earth. Chow Yun Fat's head is shaved and tattooed and he has a goatee of kung fu kick-ass-ery. Jack crazily lights a cannon that is tied to a rope he is holding to catapult himself into the sea. Dr Tran was giving out Hot Dickings at the screening...Hot Dickings and Disney shwag bags containing a replica of Jacks head-scarf, a demo of POTC online, a cool piece of promotional art all tucked away in a snazzy black case. The highlight of the event (besides the trailer and HOT DICKINGS!) was a pirate with a jar of dirt..BEHOLD MY JAR OF DIRT. Oh...and there was this crazy scottsman in a kilt screaming pirate nonsense and revealing the origin of "AAAAAARRRRRR!".
as I always say in a Miyazaki TB... by Strabo	Mar 19th, 2007 04:37:33 PM
...please god, someone put a copy of Salman Rushdie's "Haroun and the Sea of Stories" in Miyazaki's hands, and convince him to film it. I guarantee it'll be his best film. Please, god, please. Look, I'm asking god for a miracle, and I don't even believe in god! That's how important it is that he reads this book!
First image from film... by pjdon	Mar 19th, 2007 07:59:42 PM
Don't kniw if any of you noticed that they updated the story on the Ghibli site, here's the first image from the film: http://www.ghibliworld.com/ima ges/miyazaki_new_film_gake_no_ ue_no_ponyo_2.jpg
Have to say he aboslutely ruined Howl's Moving Castle by superninja	Mar 19th, 2007 08:14:43 PM
Don't get me wrong, the visual quality was there, but the story was simply weakened by his choices.
The thing is, he seems to be making the same by superninja	Mar 19th, 2007 08:16:20 PM
film over and over again. Perhaps not earlier, but the last few the elements are so similar I'd just like to see him tackle something different.
LINK TO PIRATES 3 TRAILER, 2 HOURS BEFORE RELEASE! by Toddstarwatcher	Mar 19th, 2007 10:13:51 PM
http://liamstarwatcher.com/PPP PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP3.html go there, not great quality yet but there will be soon!!!!!
superninja by Johnno	Mar 20th, 2007 12:59:05 AM
From what I heard, Hayao was not fully responsible for Howl's, there was actually some other director who then dropped out during a late stage of pre-produciton or something and Miyazaki took over, otherwise Spirited Away was supposed to be his last work or something... not too sure... but anyway, it's what I heard...
i'm back, fuckaz! by council estate scumbag	Mar 20th, 2007 02:14:47 AM
i had to do 3 days community service, but now i'm back, gimps! the maestro returns, and so does miyazaki! this new one sounds good. porno an a cliff
wise words superninja by council estate scumbag	Mar 20th, 2007 02:19:58 AM
re howl's moving castle. i agree, son. had production qualities of every other ghibli film (as in it was the bollocks!), but the story was all over the pleace. didn't know who's motivation was what, or where the hell the story was going. his weakest effort since kiki. and ironically both films he took over from someone else. when he sees a film through from its birth then it usually turns aaht alright.
grandson, not son by treadwell	Mar 20th, 2007 10:50:59 AM
the info at the link provided says the model for the character is the son of Hayao's son, not Hayao's son himself.
miyazaki is the lord by council estate scumbag	Mar 20th, 2007 11:02:53 AM
he should have his own chuch, sez me. this film is gonna rock. i wanna know more. watched spirited away again yesterday. it was wicked. didnt even feel like mugging anyone afterwards. thats how good it was.
Betty Boop by EatYourCellphone	Mar 20th, 2007 11:49:45 AM
That corner animation is indeed from a Betty Boop cartoon... it was originally footage of Cab Calloway singing "Saint James Infirmary" that was rotoscoped by Fleisher Studios and used for a sequence in which Koko the Clown, I believe, metamorphoses into a number of odd creatures while singing the tune and dancing that weird-ass dance during a trip through Hell. I haven't seen the cartoon in perhaps 40 years but it's damn memorable...
didnt know that, EatYourCellphone by council estate scumbag	Mar 20th, 2007 12:31:20 PM
i was wondering where that animation was from. looks wicked. my mate off the estates animates just like that. fluid and shit. proper old school stylee. but i bet that cab calloway cartoon shit was some fucked up racist cartoon. bet ya any fuckin' money.
Is Disney ever gonna release ONLY YESTERDAY on DVD ..? by 7-zark-7	Mar 20th, 2007 05:44:38 PM
.. it's my favorite Ghibli film, outside of Miyazaki's work. I hope it becomes available someday; it's a beautiful film with a great story.
7-zark-7. its out here in london by council estate scumbag	Mar 21st, 2007 02:21:13 PM
its wicked. just buy it on amazon.co.uk, mate. or just nick it. its a peaceful film, son so ur gonna need a lot ov patience, but its worth it, fella. peace
Miyazaki...please live forever!!! by JimmyLoneWolf	Mar 29th, 2007 10:10:50 PM
Everytime I hear he has a new film coming out I pray it isn't his last, he keeps mentioning retirement, but noone can touch him in terms of consistently amazing anime. Many people claimed Howl's Moving Castle was one of his weaker efforts, I have no idea what they're talking about...it was a beautiful movie and I enjoyed every second of it. Maybe they could put him on ice, like Walt Disney...
