Seriously. I wonder that she doesn't see herself on-screen in this film and go, "Dayumn! I look GOOD! Eff this Hollywood anorexic crap."
Never goes smooth. How come it never goes smooth?

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

At least Salma Hayek appears to have said just that.

Mmmmm, Salma. When is the Penelope/Salma cowgirl movie coming? And can they please make out in it? Please?

I loved the spate of awards shows this year where there'd be a dozen indistinguishable blonde skeletons in champagne dresses (or umbrella sleeves, whichever) and then Salma rocking a brilliant red or turquoise dress.

Compassionately intolerant
Salma rocking a brilliant red or turquoise dress
Proof of divinity, I tell ya.
I even watched that craptastic Brosnan/Harrelson/Cheatle flick because Salma was in it. Oh, no wait...I bought that craptastic flick.

We ordered a big stuffed Totoro right after watching the movie. He's very cute and watches over the den.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I loved My Friend Totoro. And my former manager used to swear by it. His older son was into zombies and the like, while his younger son couldn't stand anything with blood. This was one movie that had both of them transfixed. It's beautiful, and rich, and gentle, and I never once knew where it was going. But once I got there the plot made perfect sense.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
DH and I are hyooge Miyazaki fans; we drove 150 miles in 90-degree weather to see Howl's Magic Castle--twice--before it was in our local market (and a couple of times, after, locally).
We each have a ranking of his films, and they're not the same, except for Totoro being at the top of both lists.
Miyazaki skies always stay with me, and Totoro has some of the best, although Kiki's and Spirited Away's wind in the grass and clouds come close.
There's something so enchanting and yet so ordinary about Totoro. There are long spaces without dialogue, which is rare, and of course the magical visuals.
Favorite. First favorite.

I want to see your ranking.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I want to see your ranking.
Ditto. Porco Rosso is very near the top of my Miyazaki favorites list, if not at the top.
