We watched Porco Rosso tonight for the ‘cast. It was…fun. Charming. Some beautiful art…but I think it might actually be Miyazaki’s first ever swing and a miss. It’s hard to figure out what he was going for, actually, like, thematically, which is interesting because each movie before it has been so clear what it has to say. Porco was muddled. Even the story is surprisingly thin and sometimes almost non-existent. But, it is fun. There’s still more to like than there isn’t, no doubt. It’s just, yeah; his first swing and a miss, I think. I get the sense he was trying for stuff, but he didn’t get it there. I wonder why.
Got almost all my writing done. Two pages shy. I’ll handle that tomorrow at some point and get them off to Craig. Rest is the name of the game, though. I have at least three more weeks of this to go. Got to get the rest!
Night night.
