pantryslutWatched Howl's Moving Castle yesterday with the ladies. I think it was a little above their heads -- hard to follow why Sophie kept changing from young to old to brown-haired to silver-haired, etc. But they stuck with it as best they could. And I enjoyed it. I also spent an idle moment wondering if steampunk folks are turning over their royalty checks to Miyazaki yet, because they certainly owe him a lot, neh?
We also took Wallace and Gromit for a spin this week. Again, it was OK but apparently a bit hard to follow overll for them. I'm sure it will grow.
Lest you think it's all highbrow and high-quality over here, my children have also taken to begging for episodes of Spiderman, both the "Amazing Friends" incarnation and the later 90s version. Both of which are awful. The 90s version is sometimes a bit too scary for the kids, but the really lame-o earlier series is a big hit. Sigh.
Also, Powerpuff Girls and Teen Titans. Superheroes FTW.
