Ponyo

Ponyo is an adorable movie about a little fish that wants to become a little girl so that she can live on land with the little boy who falls in love with her. Lighter and more kid-oriented than any of the other Hayao Miyazaki films that I've seen (including Castle in the Sky,
Howl's Moving Castle,
Spirited Away, especially Princess Mononoke, and even Kiki's Delivery Service). It's cute, fun, and great for kids or 20-something nerds who wish they were kids.

Internet John said...

*scritch scratch*
Yo, check my rap about tentacles / They ain't shaped like pentacles / These rhymes be documentical(?) / Cephalopods be stickin' on yo' face / Like H.P. Lovecraft 'cept not about race / -ism, that be causin' schism / Japanese porn be fulla monster jizzum

Yeah what!

@Robyn: No singing of any kind.

Nice, though I think "ecumenical" would've been neater than documentical.

I tried to get Ponyo to sign the petition. Didn't happen.

I.J. said...

Besides, um... I think you're the one who asked for a rap. Check those comments, B.

I really need to start that V3 blog.

Viking Andrew said...

Where is Lollsies in this ranking system?

DO IT

Viking Andrew said...

I'm with I.J. You owe us this. If you don't do the Excel sheet, I'm going to kick your ass this April when you're (not) in Denver.

Viking Andrew said...

Oh, yeah. If we have a second R3 reunion here in Nac, I've come up with t-shirts:

On the front: R3R2

On the back: (intravenous needle buddies)

Questions, thoughts...

I.J. said...

The shitpokes down here would string you up for a shirt like that.

Fuck, they even asked me what religion I was when they ID'd me at the bar.
