Ponyo, Ponyo, Ponyo...

Ponyo, Ponyo, Ponyo, fishy in the sea,

Tiny little fishy, who could you really be?

Ponyo, Ponyo, Ponyo, magic set you free,

Oh she's a little girl with a round tummy.

  I guess it's pretty obvious which song is stuck in my head at this point...^^ All because I went on a Google search for Ghibli films. I am looking for the next film that my "Ghibli group" will watch next. Requests include, "PONYO! PONYO! Pick Ponyo this time!" I pardoned the request because I decided that we will save the "Lovey-touchy-feel-y" movies for last. We have seen Ponyo before. After it was released on DVD, we got it on Netflix. It was really good, so don’t get me wrong.

(BTW, Fujimoto was total AWESOMESAUCE! Fun fact, the English voice of Fujimoto was Liam Neeson. He was Qui-Gon-Jinn in the new/first Star Wars. AND I JUST READ ON IMDB THAT HE WAS THE VOICE OF ASLAN ON NARNIA! Now I know why Fujimoto and Aslan and Qui-Gon are all amazing. Yes.)

 I had a discussion with one of the members. This is how it went:

Me: Hey, what film do you want to see next?

(Let’s assume her name is Hyuga. I call her that anyway 'cuz she likes Hinata Hyuga from Naruto.) I don't know, what's there?

Me: Well, I want to see Princess Mononoke...What do you think?

Hyuga: Is it nice, or EPIC?

Me: Well, it's rated PG-13...

Hyuga: ~Smiles~ Sure! ~Walks away~

 I am kinda in an Anime mood tonight. I watched bits and pieces of Naruto episodes 30, and 31.  Only because I wanted to know what Orochimaru's voice sounded like. He is a very...interesting?...character. Little did I know that I already knew what he sounded like. The guy who does his voice also does Amon's voice, from The Legend of Korra. (Steve Blum) Amazing how you figure out things in a crazed Anime mood. I think to finish that; I will do a Manga-marathon. I need to start Volume 10 of Naruto. A Splendid Ninja. Rock Lee VS Gaara. I know for a fact the Lee gets basically destroyed. Totally crushed when I figured that out...

  5 more things tonight:
The Cosby Show is on TVland now, I hadn't known that and now I am excited. ^^
My favorite song--at this point--by The Script is The End Where I Begin.
The Saga Begins is the greatest song ever. :D Almost as good as Weird Al's play on "My Sharona." MY BOLOGNA! Teehee.
PS: I am a pixie. And yes, they do express emotion. Despite what "some people I know" think. ♥
I am addicted to "Lights" by Ellie Goulding. Adele and Ellie are both British, I believe. Love. :)

  This day whopped my rear. Exhausted.

The Stone Table.

"If the Witch knew the true meaning of sacrifice, she might have interpreted the deep magic differently. That when a willing victim who has committed no treachery, is killed in a traitor's stead, the stone table will crack, and even death itself would turn backwards."



 I believe I first saw The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe when I was 11 years old. I was amazed by everything. The story, the characters, the setting, the music. The music was wonderful and completely matched the film in every way. My favorite part of the whole movie was when Aslan was killed. Although I don't know quite why...Maybe it was the fall of a hero....I really can't say...

 For those of you who have not seen this film, I apologize for the spoilers. 


Anyway, I was able to again see this movie the other day. I watched it from beginning to end. Not missing a thing. And again I cried when Aslan was killed at the stone table. The quote above has to be my most favorite quote from Aslan. If you haven't noticed, he is my favorite character.


The one part with the stone table is all I really wanted to bring up. The first time, it is a bit frightening. The creatures, the Witch, and again, the music. Really the music helps everything become more realistic, frightening, magical, etc. The end of that scene, when he comes back, is what really makes me gasp every time. Then you smile.   Long Live Aslan!

 Even though this wasn't so much about the movie as it was my experience, I hope you enjoy. I have been meaning to write this  forever. I think there may also be one more post before this day ends...

Later,
