It transpires that Myon too has not achieved her aspirations, as she was a swimming champion during high school, but gave up when her breasts became too big.

I don't know why I'm boggling at that, tbh. It's probably a very real thing in terms of slipstream and drag reduction. And also, it's a Japanese animation, that's probably one of the least weird things that happens.

someone was playing Alice from a projector in this empty room next door to a bar a few days before i saw it listed at #30 here. I had never heard of it before, but the 30 minutes I saw were trippy as hell.

'spirited away' is the one i most regret leaving off. i rewatched it a couple weeks ago and it's just as good as everyone else says it is.
i vaguely remember seeing 'dot and the kangaroo.' didn't they make a bunch of other 'dot' movies in the 80s?

Just watched Coraline, pretty disappointed. It seemed so sparse, full of dead air or cursorily written lines like it was just a draft script. The music was similarly thin and the set pieces were just odd - the mouse circus was boring, the old actresses' mermaid & venus double act frankly bizarre. And the story was cut and pasted from a bunch of traditional fairy tales with no spark of its own.
― ledge, Saturday, 16 February 2013 23:42 (eleven years ago) link
On further reflection I think it just wasn't creepy or weird enough. Don't really know the age range of the book but this was firmly in young kids territory where it could have been closer to young adults; and having the entire film animated meant the other world never seemed other worldly; if the real world had been live action or even just done in a different style... would like an idea of what the book was like but bleugh.

the 3D handled this beautifully though - when she first looks out into the "other" backyard and the rear of the image just plummets away from you, and then the whole world stays so depth-enhanced for her whole adventure there
