This Star Wars fan is not sure he could stomach sitting through
ATTACK OF THE CLONES a second time, IMAX or no IMAX.
I saw some publicity about the IMAX space station documentary showing
at the Henry Ford Museum, but I didn't get any details about it.
That's the film I'd want to see.

Apparently it was filmed by astronauts on the International Space Station.
It looked pretty cool from the trailer I saw.

I'd like to see that too. Maybe we should have a Grexpedition.

SPIRITED AWAY-- Saw this earlier this evening and it blew me away. It is
the new movie written and directed by the grand master of Japanimation,
Hayao Miyazaki. The story of a ten year old girl who gets lost in a
strange and fascinating world full of spirits and ghosts, and through her
adventures learns lessons about herself and the world around her.
Miyazaki, whom Disney animators consider the absolute master of the craft,
came out of retirement to do this movie. This is a deeply moving story
with some of the best film animation you'll ever see. The characters are
unforgettable. The film was released in Japan last year and is already
the top grossing film of all time there. Its release here was delayed so
Disney could do an english voice track. "Spirited Away" is easily the
best movie I have seen this year, and it is sure to get consideration for
year-end movie awards, even though is it animated. Also the music in it
is really beautiful, I even stopped at HMV on the way home and bought the
soundtrack CD. Go see MIYAZAKI'S SPIRITED AWAY" while it is still in
theaters. The brilliance of Miyazaki's animation (he hates using
computers and hand paints every frame, needs to be seen on the big
screen!
This is a classic and will warm your heart. Strongest recommendation
(five stars)

oh yeah and when "Spirited Away" ended and Miyazaki's name came up on the
credits afterwards, the audience in the theater where I saw it tonight
gave a spontaneous burst of applause. You don't see that too often
at movies (unless it is a premiere or the director is present or something)

(A decade or two ago, there was a florishing campus cinema movement on the
UofM campus. Every night three or four of the campus auditoriums would have
movies running, with admission set at a couple bucks. Different movies every
night. A lot of us saw a lot of movies, and got pretty enthusiastic about
them. In those days it was normal for people to be applauding credits for
actors, directors, producers and screenwriters, including wild cheering for
some. Did it make sense to be applauding people who weren't there to hear
the applause? Seemed good to me. I miss those days a lot.)

CURRENT magazine indicates that there is a new campus film
group called Projectorhead. I *think* they show free films on
Thursdays.

Really? Me, the roomie, our men and some friends were going to try to
see it tomorrow. I suspect it might be as difficult tomorrow as it was
over the weekend.

Re #152: Thanks Ken. Looks like there's not much to choose from on the
weekends; if we wanted to mount a Grexpedition to see the Space Station
movie it would have to be at 11:20 AM on Saturday or Sunday. Who would be
interested in one of those times?

I might be able to come if it's Sunday the 17th. I'm busy all day that
Saturday, and then I'm out of town the weekend after. December weekends are
still free, though.

Tuesday saw '8 Mile' with the Bhelliom, Jazz, and two other males, and
I quite enjoyed it. It easily could have been a very bad movie- but it
managed not to be. The Rap Battles were entertaining to watch.
For the record- it is NOT the lifestory of Eminem, nor is it a 'Rags to
Riches' story. As the Bhelliom put it when we were talking about it-
this is a turning point movie. And a well-done one at that.

Yeah, I was really impressed by all of the bad movies that 8 Mile turned out
_not_ to be. In fact, it turned out to be one pretty good movie.

I'm almost tempted to go see 8 Mile. I would if I didn't dislike Eminem so
strongly. I don't want to encourage the whiney little homophobe.

Well, it's not like he's sitting around saying "I'm ready to begin
Phase Two, if only David Brodbeck would get on board.." See the movie
if you want, and don't if you don't. Your ticket money won't even show
up as a blip on Eminem's royalty check once it gets through Hollywood's
accounting..

...and, FWIW, his character in the movie is much less whiny than his stage
persona, and much more levelheaded.

See, * Mile has to fight with The Tow Towers, and 8 Crazy Nights for me to
see it. I only permit myself to see one In-Theater Movie per 3 months...
I have heard great things about 8 Mile from many sources so far it seems like
a fair goer.

I'm not all that interested in seeing "8 Mile" but I'd pay money *not*
to have to see "8 Crazy Nights." An animated Adam Sandler holiday movie?

The physical limitations of the human body are one of the things that
makes Adam Sandler's work even remotely tolerable. Without that
restraint, as in CG animation, there is no hope.

Oh, and the new Harry Potter movie is a bit over the top in places, but
very much enjoyable.
