[Film] Howl's Moving Castle

What a rush. It was beautiful, funny, silly, OTT, sad, disturbing, cringeworthy, cute, hillarious and moving (and possibly some more things, too).
There were fewer WTF? moments than in Spirited Away but still some very odd scenes (some bits reminiscent of the Final Fantasy games series).

I recommend it to anyone who likes anime, steampunk, victoriana, gadgets, weird and wonderful characters etc.

The one person on my friends list who definitely has to go and see this is zenmeisterin. The setting is very similar to Girl Genius (i.e. some pseudo-Eastern European country in Victorian times with steam-powered cars, airships and all the other paraphernalia.

Not fair!

The first regular showing of Serenity is next Thursday and I can't go because I need to prep and run Octaine.
Friday, then. Anyone else up for joining me?
Night Watch on the Monday.

*grins*

Half the company is currently glued to the windows because there are two foxes walloping about in the field outside.
And I don't have my big gunlens with me...

Immature giggling

ARA oddness

I'm currently going through the photos taken at ARA, when in ( this photo of the dancefloor )

(taken from the Belfry) I noticed what looked like Radiation Hazard symbols in the stained glass windows (behind the dancefloor).
I then looked at a ( closeup of one of the windows )

and then realised that it's ( a coat of arms )

  with three triangles (what are they supposed to be?) but their shape an alignment from far away looked indeed just like the radiation hazard symbol.
How cool is that?
