Kiki!

My charity shop bargains last week were the DVDs of Kiki's Delivery Service, Kill Bill Vol 2, and Vanilla Sky, for a grand total of £8. I've seen Kill Bill before but it's nice to have a copy that by default has English subtitles for the training scenes etc.; my previous copy is R3 and I kept forgetting to switch it from Indonesian to English subtitles.

Haven't watched Vanilla Sky yet, but Kiki's Delivery Service is great - on the strength of it I've ordered a copy of Howl's Moving Castle, which comes out this week. I'll post more on this once I've seen it.

Personally I found Kiki the weakest of all of Miyazaki's movies and, by coincidence, Howl was second weakest. Which is to say they were interesting but not compelling. Check out the others, particularly Castle In The Sky with your interest in Edwardian SF.

Thanks - I'll take a look.
