I've been revisiting all of Miyazaki's stuff throughout the year since thanks to Ghiblifest they get theatrical showings and since a new Miyazaki movie is out this year they've only been doing Miyazaki movies this year. A lot of fun seeing them in a crowd, except when I saw Porco Rosso and a guy yelled "ooooh!" in a pervy way when Fio took off her engineer clothes to take a swim. I hope he stubbed his toe on the way out.

Just a heads up that over the next 5 days Howl's Moving Castle will be playing in theaters as part of Ghiblifest. I'm definitely gonna try to find the time to catch it, been awhile since I've last seen it and what better way to revisit it than the big screen.

Caught a Spirited Away showing last night. Still an incredible movie but I don't fully connect with it emotionally as much as my other favorite Miyazaki movies. But that's just some quibbling, merely saying that I don't like this 5 star film as much as his other 5 star films. Though I do wanna say that in the time since I last watched it, I have seen a decent number of anime movies that very much wanted to follow in Spirited Away's footsteps to middling results, and in seeing some pale imitators* it really makes it easier for me to appreciate Spirited Away. Just goes to show that there's so much care in developing Spirited Away's world that Miyazaki merely makes it look easy. *A specific roast that has been stuck in my mind ever since I read it is the time Indiewire critic David Ehrlich said that the anime movie Okko's Inn "unfolds like a Kidz Bop cover of Spirited Away".
