bother, said Pooh

Unfortunately, Ster Kinekor have no plans currently to release Howl's Moving Castle, although they're going to query it with head office. (Response time: 22 minutes. They're getting even better). In retrospect, in fact Spirited Away was released by Nu Metro, not Ster Kinekor, so they may do this one as well. Have mailed them. Their response time is not as fast as Ster-Kinekor, it's been an hour already and no go!

Edited to add: Ster-Kinekor head office has responded - no plans to put Moving Castle on the line-up, but they may release it later. Which I suspect means next year sometime, if we're lucky. Sigh. Help us, Nu Metro, you are our only hope!

Even movies that don't get general release do get special screenings, right?


Oh, and I found the American voices good, even if Crhristian "Batman" Bale as Howl was the only big name.

Not necessarily, unless they're art-house movies on limited release on the nouveau circuit. I'm hoping that Nu Metro will do what they did with Spirited Away, which was to release it for about two weeks only, in very few cinemas. Glad it's well dubbed, at any rate. Amazing how badly poor dubbing can stuff up a good movie.
