TSM Episode 66: Biometrics

This is actually how biometrics works: plug a pair of Atari 2600 controllers into a block of wood, and plug the block of wood into a microwave. Then, invert one of the controllers. Authorisation complete. That's SCIENCE!

Lusipurr, SiliconNooB, and Blitzmage go on an Oktoberfest beerhall bender. Blitzmage loses his shoes, SiliconNooB drinks lots of booze, Lusipurr forgets his swan, and the State of Massachusetts declares 22 September to be Lusipurr.com appreciation day.

    No love for Miyazaki’s Porco Rosso? Nausicaä is great too.

    Nausicaa is probably my favourite. I didn’t like Porco Rosso much at all.

    @Matt: Didn’t like either of those, honestly. Sorry!

    My favourites are: #1 Spirited Away, #2 Mononoke Hime, and a joint-#3rd to Nausica and Laputa, with perhaps a slight nod to Laputa for the beauty of the visuals.

    Yeah, Porco Rosso is the only one I don’t like. Although I haven’t seen that Castle of Cajklwegjweklj one.

    I really like Princess Mononoke, but I like it a little less every time I see it for some reason. I think I need a longer break between viewings. I quite liked Nausicaa the first time I saw it, but absolutely loved it on my second viewing.

    Laputa is great. There’s a distinct magic in that movie that’s separate from any other Miyazaki magic. In a good way. However, sometimes it feels a little too Saturday morning cartoon for me with the train chases and exaggerated villain, so that’s probably why it’s a little down the list for me. But down the list on Miyazaki movies for me is high on the list in relation to everything else.

    Top three for me are probably Nausicaa, Howl’s, and Kiki’s. Although Totoro and Mononoke rotate in that third spot.

    My top three are Mononoke Hime, Naausica and Castle of Cagliostro (if that counts). I did like Porco Rosso a lot unlike most people, just not enough to be one of my favs.
