Sen To, X-Men 2 Yet another article about Spirited Away.  I knew that it was very popular in Japan, but it is apparently the best selling film in Japan EVER!  I also wasn't aware that John Lassiter (the brains behind every good thing that happens at Pixar) did the dub.  This is gonna be good!  [Slashdot] 3:12:26 AM

Jaime Escalante: The Real Story: Many of us have seen the excellent and inspiring film Stand And Deliver in which a maverick math teacher turns a group of undisciplined kids into excellent scholars.  Here's an article that outlines the real events which the movie was based on and what has happened since. 10:35:55 PM

El Capitan Tickets (Miyazaki in Person) On Sale: I just this minute heard that there's apparently an in-person appearance by Hayao Miyazaki coming up at the El Capitan Theater in Hollywood.  I would imagine that this is in conjunction with his upcoming Disney release of the movie "Spirited Away" (which I have seen some clips of and it looks like it will be great just like everything else Miyazaki does).  Anyway, whatever the actual event will be, here's where you can sign up for the 1000 available seats... Online via the El Capitan Tickets page OR By Phone at: 1-800-347-6396 8am-6pm pacific time. 10:45:37 PM
