Muse by Craig Ranapia

Rachel Jean, sir. Did you get to Arrietty? Saw it at The Civic yesterday, which is a lovely place to see a lovely film.

For once, that's not my typo. Promise.

And, yes, Arrietty was wonderful -- when Miyazaki and Isao Takahata hand in their drafting pens, Studio Ghibli will carry on. Will also be spending money I don't really have when the restored version of Metropolis I also saw on Sunday is released on DVD/BR September 8. In many ways, it is very much a product of its time and place but still... there's a solid case to be made for this being the most influential science fiction film ever.

Thanks for the Dunedin Festival link, Craig- think I might be headed south for the second week in August...
