<<And Miyazaki has an amazing track record for kids' films. Totoro and Kiki's 
Delivery Service are both excellent...Totoro is amazing....>>

I have to agree ... Totoro is a fantastical romp through the lushly
imaginative world of childhood. It's a kid's movie, but I find myself
playing the tape when I need something to light a little spark of magic
back into my life. I love all the little cultural details as well, and the
way he pays attention to the small details that make children children and
the characters human overall. Miyazaki could put the magic back into Harry
Potter better than anyone else. It would be a fair partnership - one reason
why I am so fond of the Harry Potter series is that there are so many
details - actions and words - that so aptly encapsulate the personalities
of the characters. My favourite exchange (from PS/SS):

	"Now you two - this year, you behave yourselves. If I get one more owl
telling me you've - you've blown up a toilet or -" 
	"Blown up a toilet? We've never blown up a toilet."
	"Great idea though, thanks, Mum."

I laughed so hard at that ... it just sounds so much like my own mother and
brother!

Anyway, my only gripe about Miyazaki: all the characters have the same
'look' about them =(.

<<(Who might as well join the others in the "Rickman-Snape wasn't sexy"
bunker.
Should I bring my DVD player and a stack of anime? We may be in here for a
while. "Utena," anyone?)>>

I'll join you ... Rickman just isn't the way I pictured Snape (*dodges a
barrel of tomatoes as she makes a dive for the bunker*). Unfortunately, I'm
not a big fan of wispy and starry-eyed anime characters; I'll bring my VHS
player and Rurouni Kenshin tapes. Oh, and my new Studio Ghibli DVD
collection (yes!) for the Miyazaki fans.
