i am a fucking fraud

after buying 6 of his movies yesterday, i find out that he released a movie in 2004 in japan. and from rottentomatoes, no less. i'd never even heard of it. why aren't i trolling anime forums? am i too cool to dress up like a furry and engage in yaoi? i am a poser. my self-loathing right now is palpable.

howl's moving castle. it looks incredible. the art of the castle itself is breathtaking. that is wall scroll or movie poster worthy. the premiere (i think) was last night, or tonight, depending on if you're technically minded or not, and i think hayao himself attended. it is opening on limited release in select cities (cambridge, ma being one of them, and new york not, somehow) june 10. hopefully the ticket information for new york simply has not yet been released. i have the CT teaching exam on saturday, but i will go into new york that night for the movie, however much over $10 a ticket might cost.

and here's the kicker: guess who is the voice talent for howl? none other than homicidal maniac and tetragramaton cleric of the first order billionaire playboy bruce wayne.
