...Stable Boy’s orders, Ollie had been following Felicity for days. Now, having cornered her at the fairground’s model train ride, he felt ready to approach her.Before Ollie could do so, however, a man dashed up to the platform and with a howl of despair threw himself in front of the oncoming train.Unfortunately, the fairground ride was already slowing down. It pulled to a stop a good foot and a half before the man’s twitching form.After craning his neck to judge the damage outisde, the engineer shook his head disgustedly and spat...
Obscene Directed by Neil Ortenberg and Daniel O'Connor; not rated; in limited release For publishing many of the past century's landmark works, including Howl, Naked Lunch, Lady Chatterley's Lover and Tropic of Cancer, Barney Rosset's Grove Press earned the U.S. government's highest tribute: prosecution for obscenity.

...until it was overtaken by Titanic; the second breaking that record and remaining the country's top grosser today. Those were also the first of Miyazaki's movies to receive a wide theatrical release in North America.

...Hard-core Miyazaki devotees will make a game out of seeing what they can recognize - from the wildly cluttered wizard's bedroom in Howl's Moving Castle to the dishes eaten by Chihiro's parents in Spirited Away (the fateful meal causes them to turn into pigs). But neophytes can get just as much satisfaction from the dynamic quality of the drawings. The opening sequence of 1984's Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (a Miyazaki-Takahata film that predated the foundation of Studio Ghibli) is there as a lush forest drawn from high above, with blocks...
