An urgent warning to all my UK friends

Everyone who reads this who lives in the UK pay attention. The Film On Four TV channel is having a season of the complete movies of Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli: probably the greatest movie maker alive, certainly the greatest animator of all time. If you miss these without a good reason, you can begin kicking yourselves right now.

It's one of my absolute favorite movies, though it grew on me slowly. But now... I really find it profound. I wish to model myself on Ashitaka. He's a true, true hero.

I really think Miyazaki has a great, great heart. His love for people, for the world, and his sense of its sadness and its beauty. I just stand in awe. So many small moments in so many of his films show such a truly great heart.
