This continues with what I was discussing yesterday about the Miyazaki movies not having character development. Lordsesshomaru described it perfectly: “His movies are like a beautifully painted vase. On the outside, it is incredibly detailed and a joy to look at. However, it is completely hollow on the inside.”
Very poetic, Chris.XP Many people said, “well, you can’t really have good character development when it’s not like an anime that’s a series and you slowly learn about the characters.” Well, I’m not looking at the movies like an anime show…I look at them as a movie. Within the time frame of a movie, from 72 mins-120 mins one should be able to like the characters within that time. Here’s an example, look at Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean, that movie ran a bit over 2 hours and within that time, one loves that character. Heck, within the first 5 minutes of Jack Sparrow appearing, one loves that character. Why? GOOD writing and GOOD character development.
Like I said, Miyazaki movies are breathtaking to watch but, the characters are hollow. And again, feel free to disagree.^_^

Anywho, have people noticed the voting system has been changed in the fanart section?! Whee! I love it already!
I went to my friend, Tyler’s house and he had burned me a DVD with the latest episodes of Ouran High School Host Club and some other Ouran goodies so I’m looking forward to checking that out. We then watched the season premiere of House. We love that show. We also played this game that’s like DDR but for drums and it plays really funny music and has these psycho chibi animal things dancing around in the background. It’s a fun game.

Question of the Day: Do you have a memory of a first day of school moment you wont ever forget? It can be from any grade.
My Answer: In college, my first figure drawing class. It took me awhile to get used to a person walking into the class, taking off all their clothes and posing in front of us while we drew them. People got so used to it after awhile that when we’d walk down hallways we’d see naked models in the class rooms and not think twice about it. It was like, "la la...oh look, naked person...la la laaa."
