I missed the 2 films from last Thursday, 1 of which &#8220;Nausica\u00e4 of the Valley of the Wind&#8221; is my friend Gil&#8217;s favorite by Miyazaki, because I didn&#8217;t know it was &#8220;Miyazaki Month&#8221; until I started to watch Spirited Away last night. I quicked grabbed my remote and have scheduled My Neighborhood Totoro and Porco Rosso for taping this Thursday. I cannot wait to watch these well. The following Thursday they are showing 2 movies, Only Yesterday and Pom Poko, he produced that were directed by Isao Takahata. I&#8217;ll tape and watch those as well.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been a huge Miyazaki fan ever since I saw Princess Mononoke but have ben lazy in renting and watching his other films. This past summer, the MoMA held a Miyazaki exhibition and all of his films were screened over a 4 day period. I was super psyched to go but unfortunately, the exhibition happened to exactly coincide with the end of my parents&#8217; 30 or so year marriage. My sister was staying with me while my family imploded and needless to say, neither of us made it to the museum. Its funny; on top of all the other reasons I was upset that weekend, I was upset that I missed out on seeing all these flicks. Now, when its cold and gross and I don&#8217;t want to leave my apartment, I have some fantastic movies just sitting around waiting to be watched. I can&#8217;t wait!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All this month on Turner Classic Movies, Thursday nights have been devouted to Hayao Miyazaki, a man who has been hailed as the &#8220;Japanese Walt Disney.&#8221; The first Thursday of the month they aired Princess Mononoke (which I&#8217;ve seen many, many times and love) and Spirited Away (which I am in the process of watching).
