Comic Books May Be Next. Manga At Least.
Leila and I are still feeding our new Anime addiction. Working our way through all the Hayao Miyazaki films available at our local library (Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle are good ones to start with if you're interested.)
One of my favorite things about these is trying to pick out the whose who of Western celebrities that do the voices in the English versions. Billy Crystal being the easiest to place thus far in Howl. Just a couple classics are Cary Elwes as Baron Humbert von Gikkingen in the Cat Returns:
A more handsome version than what Elwes has regrettably aged into since the Westley and Buttercup days.
And... Christian Bale as Howl:
It took me a while to place CB. Likely b/c he wasn't dropping the F-bomb!

Go right ahead and throw the "GEEK!" comments at me.
