Ooh! Nausicaa wasn't previously released full-length. That seems like a compelling reason to get the Disney.
And boys -- let's watch the swearing.

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That said, I think the Disney voice casting for the ones I've seen dubbed are quite good.
I concur. I like the dubs just fine.

They did some good voice-acting on the Disney. Some of the older Miyazaki movies I actually watched un-dubbed and un-subtitled, with someone to vaguely translate the Japanese, and they were still good watching that way.

Theo, I find that not even remotely hard to believe.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Based on trailers alone, I am more excited for Christopher Nolan's cinematographer's movie than Christopher Nolan's movie.
(To be fair, the latter is a teaser. Hope the full trailer has more of a hook.)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Saw The Hobbit DoS today. Much fun was had by all, but most especially Franny and her friend Jade. Have to say that Consuela's description pretty much nails it. Cody's reaction was that the movie was "the most expensive work of fanfic ever." I'm also on board with Team More Beorn.

I went to Inside Llewyn Davis yesterday, and it was excellent. Very classically Coen Brothers, but no wood-chippers (thank goodness). Great cast, great music, and just smart and interesting and funny and awful. If I knew more about the Village scene of the early 1960s, I probably would have picked up on more of the references.

I know it's mostly based on Dave Van Ronk (The Mayor of Greenwich Village). I'm pretty sure Michelle Williams' character is based on somebody specific.

Michelle Williams isn't in it, but Carey Mulligan is. She is, by the way, awesome. Which is good, because she's one of only two women in the movie. (Sigh.)

Oops, that's who I meant.
