NahgaAfter seeing Totoro on the big screen last weekend I started thinking about the other Ghibli films coming to theaters this year. My thoughts went to Howl and Mononoke Hime, but also to Porco Rosso. Although itโs not considered one of Miyazakiโs best films(Iโd say otherwise), it is one of the most beautiful. The colors and characters are some of the most real in any of his movies. And itโs Friday. #laserdiscfriday #porcorosso
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐This weekโs #laserdiscfriday entry from is Innocent Blood. I donโt think the film gets enough love. Despite having a good cast great director and a good script. Featuring Robert Loggia and Don Rickles. How can it be bad? Directed by John Landis.
I figured I should toggle back and forth between my domestic and imports for #laserdiscfriday This set of ovas has some of the best music in anime. Yoko Kanno really out did herself here.
Got reminded what day it is by @hex
This was what I thought of when seeing his copy of near dark

Now that Mononoke Hime lost in #moviebowl
I feel obligated to make a #laserdiscfriday post.
This my favorite Miyazaki film. A long long time ago I actually fansubbed this film to show at a convention before most of the West had even seen it.

It's that time again people. For this week's #laserdiscfriday I present the only LD I have two copies of. Damn me for not verifying the first one was widescreen/letterboxed.
Since weโre already off and running for #laserdiscfriday
Hereโs hands down the best Disney film ever made #fightme

And here go for #laserdiscfriday heres my copy of Escape from New York. So many good things to say I donโt know where to start. If you never seen it, rectify that.
Happy #laserdiscfriday
This week I decided to share one of favorite films from Miyazaki: Nausicaรค Of The Valley Of The Wind.
I can't remember when exactly I saw it first, but I think it was a crappy cut of the movie on HBO in the 80s. When I got this LD it was a Japanese import and long before the Ghibli/Disney partnership. The first HUGE difference is the opening title/credit sequence, which was entirely cut from the version I was familiar with. This sequence is titular to the film yet is remove, I think, because they did not want the credits shown in Japanese.
For those unfamiliar with Japanese LDs, this is not a slipcover I bought for the disc. All discs from Japan come in a thicker plastic, probably 3 or 4 mil which is not shrink wrapped to LD. All my imports I used a razor and cut off one side of this plastic to keep the LD nice. And yes, that is the original price I paid back in 1997.
