Ponyo was a Japanese retelling of The Little Mermaid. No mystery there to me... I had no trouble following it. I'd first thought Miyazaki was doing some Lasseter-buddy tribute to Finding Nemo, and Disney only hyping the "mermaid" comparisons to sell the studio name-- But when the script mentions "t...

"Can"? No. We can't compare Ghibli to that mess, sorry. Thanks for asking.

I've been tempted to get Treasure of Matecumbe, but not enough to spend points on it, and besides, like "Donald in Mathmagic Land", it's already gone to retail. (And I'd get "Sky High" on Blu, if I hadn't already weakened and bought it back when it was one of Disney first and only five Blu-ray disks...

The Oscar, that is, not Lee Unkrich.)

I remember it premiering on CBS the same day as NBC's other series about canoe-trip folks who'd gotten caught in a disaster and ended up in dinosaur country; whatever happened to that show?

So, just curious, how late is it on Over There?

IMaybe this year's Bionic Woman? :? Bionic Woman (we are talking about the goofy Lifetime-pandering 00's version, right?) had one thing going against it: The rights to the original 70's series's source--Martin Caidin's "Cyborg" novel--was still tied up at another studio while they tried to fit it t...
