I'm not really sure how discribe why I like Spirited Away so much other than it gives me a warm feeling inside.

Posté: **09 Jan 2006, 17:42**

I really liked Spirited Away, Kiki's Delivery Service, and Castle in the Sky the best....When I saw Spirited Away, I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. I liked how her character evolved.

Kiki's Delivery Service, voice acting by Kirsten Dunst, the bird who played M.J. in Spiderman.

Claire Danes did San's voice in Princess Mononoke...And Minnie Driver did Lady Eboshi.
Who did Jiji's voice in Kiki's Delivery Service? He was pretty good. And incredibly sarcastic!

Had to do a quick search to be sure,,, I was wrong. :roll:

meh, so I had no idea which character Jiji was. The moment you said "sarcastic" I thought Janeane Garofalo, but she was Ursula. Jiji was Phil Hartman. A VA from many animations and Phillip Frye from Futurama got his first name in his honour. IIRC

I could not hear Minnie Driver as Lady Eboshi, she sounded sO different from Jane Porter in Tarzan

I just watched My Neighbors the Yamadas. It's about the day-to-day exploits of the Yamada family. It was funny. As it was done by Takahata instead of Miyazaki, it has a different feel to it. Miyazaki fans should probably enjoy it.

Who did Grave of the Fireflies? I thought it was someone who'd worked with Miyazaki. Was it the same person that did My Neighbors the Yamadas?

Yes. Go to Nausicaa.net for all your Studio Ghibli needs!

Ok. Thanks, garooob! You know all the cool websites...

I do, don't I? How about this one: Yumi2004?

Posté: **16 Jan 2006, 19:49**

Of course Yumi2004 is awesome. I just discovered codelyoko.fr I saved a mess of the cool looking pictures. If this wasn't a family computer, I'd make the desktop wallpaper Aelita! Maybe I should do it anyways....but my dad would change it back though.

Posté: **16 Jan 2006, 20:52**

I liked it better when the front page was cream colored and there was an english option.

I can do anything I want to my family computer because I'm the only one in my family who uses it and knows how to use it. My mother and brother are what you would call "technically challenged". Well, my brother being 9, he has an excuse, but my 44 year old mother has no excuse.

Hahah, just walk into any company and you'll find plenty of 44-year-olds who don't know which way is up on a computer. Not all of them, but there's enough to ensure I always have a job.

I'm computer illiterate, almost. Everyone one this forum seems to know more than I do. So I can always ask you guys for help!

Really? Ok, I'll ask if I have computer questions.
I took a computer programming class a LONG time ago. It was so long ago, we were programming in Q-BASIC....Seriously! I was in 8th grade.

It requires superhuman patience. Everywhere I've worked, the rest of the company seems to harbor resentment against technology and thus the IT department. In fact, we just got killed by a company-wide survey. 84% of the people who cared enough to respond gave us bad marks. 35% of the company responded, so it's actually like 30% of the company hate us. And they're all in like 1-2 departments. I think it's a conspiricy.

My favorite story (which I am sure Rooobs has heard) is about the help-desk call where someone claimed that his computer's drink holder was broken. They finally figured out that he was talking about his CD-ROM drive. Sheeeeeesh!

Ugh....I thought I was bad with computers. Drink holder??

Stupid computer tricks
This place houses proof of some dumb things people have done to computers.

Gosh, despite my slow (dial-up) graphics, I couldn't resist going through the whole set of photos. Sort o' funny, but sort o' sad too.

Merci, rooobs!
