Howl's Moving Castle

[fuzzyoctopus]

Is that next Friday? If so, I'd like to come. But I can't make a 5:00 pm showing.

Yeah, seriously, some of us actually do have 9-5 jobs here.

[Spriggan]

I like Friday at 5 pm myself but Saturday works too.

So, given a choice between Howl's Moving Castle and Mr. and Mrs. Smith, which would you guys go to see?

[42]

Howl's Moving Castle.

Why, cause it's fantasy, has brilliant animation, and is less likely to have objectionable material.

That and I disike the to main actors in Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

[Chimera]

I second 42.

Howl's Moving Castle is one of my favorite books, and I have been really impressed with Miyazaki's (butchering his name again, I'm sure) work. I haven't been impressed with any of Angelina Jolie's, and the previews that they have been showing FOREVER don't really entice me.

But I CAN'T WAIT for Howl's next week!!! Stacer--wanna come down from Seattle for a Saturday showing?  

[stacer]

Well, he doesn't like animation, so we're going to have to work on that. He still hasn't even seen The Incredibles. So tomorrow night most likely will be Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

Stacer--wanna come down from Seattle for a Saturday showing?

Don't tempt me! He might not even feel up to a movie by the end of the day tomorrow (Fridays are usually down days, end of work week kind of thing). I don't know if I'll find someone to go see it with here. I'll go see it alone if I have to--as in, if I end up on my own tomorrow, it's Howl's for me.

But I'm going to be playing my first ever D&D campaign tomorrow afternoon (ah, summer hours), so, afraid there's no way I'd have time for a drive to Utah this weekend--though I do plan on it sometime this summer, probably sometime in July. Though now I might be flying to Chicago in two weeks, so that might be enough travel/exertion for me between that and *hopefully* finally getting my stuff.

[Mistress of Darkness]

Howl's Moving Castle definately.

Unfortunately, it's only showing in the El Capitain today (that's in Hollywood and just won't work, being gone from Mathias that long--it's probably also ridiculously expensive).

Where did you guys get this info about the showing on June 17th? Maybe it's coming to a theatre closer to me around then too.

[stacer]

That's weird. It opens here today.

[Mistress of Darkness]

 

Go ahead . . . rub it in.

[stacer]

Well, it's not like I'm going to go see it. At least, not tonight. Now I'm going to see Seattle's best bookstore. But that's all I know.  

[Chimera]

So who really wants to go? We need to get a definite time and list of names. I may have a baby shower Sat afternoon--my friend wasn't sure if the shower was on Sat or Mon, and I won't get the invite for a couple of days. That would be up in Salt Lake, though.

So I say we shoot for later on Saturday, since most people said Friday didn't work for them. Who is planning on going? Does that soudn good to you? And EUOL-- what were you thinking?

[Fellfrosch]

This movie had a very limited release this weekend, but it's income per-screen was higher than anything else in the country except Mr. and Mrs. Smith. That's pretty cool.

[Chimera]

Change of plans. Since nobody has been commital, and EUOL and I talked last night and found that Friday worked better, we are going on Friday. We're saying something like a 7 showing, so people who work 9-5 can still come, but if no one else goes we might hit a 5 to get the matinee price.

Let us know quick if you want to go.

[Oldie Black Witch]

AAARGH! I wasn't being non-committal. I didn't have time to get on the internet yesterday. And I'd really like to go. And I REALLY can't make it on Friday until 8pm at the earliest.

[Chimera]

Oldie Locks--I put in a vote for a movie after 8 so you can come. A late movie doesn't bother me--I don't sleep anyway. We won't be doing Saturday--sorry if that worked better. I know that Spriggan, EUOL, and I are planning on going, possibly also some of EUOL's roommates. Someone needs to get the times. I'll try to see what I can scrounge up with google right now.

Anyone else who wants to go, please post here. I think Mistress of Darkness was considering it, and maybe fuzzy too, but they haven't posted.
