It’s Monday again. That means that the weekend is over. However, it also means that there is a new general discussion thread. So, it isn’t all bad! As always, feel free to use this thread for questions, comments, recommendations, etc.

I’ve watched Spirited Away more times than I can count.
It’s a great movie overall, but I really watch it just to see specific scenes - Chihiro going headlong down the stairs and crashing into the wall, Sen’s face underwater, Lynn calling her a dope, the soot balls bringing out her shoes and especially the train seeming to float on the water. That last is a visual treat to rival 5 Centimeters per Second.
I’ve never seen it on the big screen. That would be nice.
Stay tuned for a clip post coming this week! This part really stuck with me too. I love it when a movie or show isn’t afraid to just dedicate a big chunk of time to set a mood. No dialogue needed, just atmosphere. That is also part of why I think I like the road trip portion of Suzume so much as well.
