Spirited Away Still Has a Chance

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the moving-picture dept.

Dean Siren writes "Disney chairman Richard W. Cook says that they've budgeted to market Spirited Away in up to 1,000 North American theaters, and if the Oscars endorse it as much as Metacritic has, Disney will launch it. They'll spend the same time and money promoting Spirited Away for Academy Awards as they will Lilo & Stitch and Treasure Planet. Cook hopes that it will win not only Best Animated Film, but get nominated for Best Picture, as Beauty and the Beast got in 1991. Thanks to Jack Mathews at New York Daily News for getting Cook to explain."

  1. UGH! by Lysol · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Look, I'm sure the movie is cool. Has a lot of great symbolism, however I find the following (possible) bedfellows ironic:

    1. Disney. Nuff said.
    2. The oscars. like any other industry-circle-jerk awards show, gee..

    who f**king cares if it wins the oscars!!!?!??? that seems more like a curse for any artistic endeavor. i dunno, i was bummed disney released it. like i need more of my money going to a shithole company bent on f**king up copyright laws and stealing from generations before, but not acknowledging it.

    sorry but this article sux! i wish spirited away the best of luck, but i won't be seeing it...

  2. Disney is NEXT TO SATAN by Archfeld · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    I hope this is a financial loss for them and Mickey has to go back to the bread line where the stolen rat started. Has disney EVER actually created somthing from scratch or is EVERY Disney 'creation' in fact derived from someone elses work then copyrighted and 0wned forever.
    I am not old enought to speak for when Walt was around but Disney has been nothing exciting as long as I can remember.

    You have probably never written a line of any stabel code in your life.

    According to Yahoo, a programmer 1 makes 45k and a web designer 1 makes 42k and a sysadmin makes 58k. You must hate being a programmer and being on the bottom of the pay scale. are you afraid of losign your job to some Indian IT firm. LOL

    HTML != WWW.

    hmm, wonder where that journal thread went off into security.

    If you do not know how to encrypt a html file, then you should not be arguing. Perhaps one day you will be enlightened and actually use IE so that you can understand the way dynamic content is rendered in that browser. Then you might finally get a clue as to why html source can be hidden.
