I walked around and there was actually a big pile of both volumes at Stuart Ngs table. Amazing! He got them in France....

I got into a discussion with a friend last week about the horrible theatrical cartoons of the 1960s. I call them “drive-in cartoons” because I see no use for them except to be filler at drive-in theaters, allowing time for kids to get concessions or for teenagers to make-out before the main feature. Almost all [...]

My final 3 films are all anime. Angels Egg (Jpn) ( wiki ) This early film by Mamoru Oshii , writer of Appleseed and Ghost in the Shell, is almost unheard of outside Japan, and having the chance to see it is a rarity.
