" We'll be alone of the best animated film category next. March Japanese master hi Al Miyazaki is getting raves for his new movie pond you know it's about a magical fish who becomes human to reunite with the little boy she loves. Me. Yeah."

" Talk about anticipation. That scene between them chemistry real charmer. Talking I think why mince words I think is that. By far the reigning genius of animation in our time. You you so successful he is actually but the theme park in his native Japan based on his various animations. I notice again in this one through a lot of them are a girl or woman is the Central -- he was well out of the way out in front of the pack that one. I know basically the story of a goldfish. Who turns. Chargers are -- some magic goldfish. Who was with magical wizard parents. And she also loved the quarterback is nothing you will kind of teen romance keeps them third. Did little children. And -- makes them fun do the right spot -- didn't get the playmates who found -- they just have to each other they just have a good time playing. But that they play the way of little kids play. And it's so ingenious and what this guy does with with water before the story we see evil begins he doesn't undersea sequence. Tripping is probably the best word to describe that you'd just mesmerized -- what even -- the report even beat the cards in the units of the story. Purposely. -- he has kept things simple he said he wants to avoid. He wanted to avoid computer animation. Because he feels secure it becomes too much about the computer not enough about the story of the characters -- And it's the kind of simplicity that only an old genius can get to its simplicity you arrive at not a who's got nothing much on your mind. But because you pared away all the excess stuff -- simplicity is what's left you've refined stuff down. To the essence. Which in this case is that childhood he remembers his own talk like that tons of movies that she loved by this -- put your three paper well dah boom the big one is actually the one negate the Oscar for superior to -- It's basically is Alice in wonderland movie about a girl you know being taken into a sort of magical -- like adventure. And then -- okay that's his. His pro -- film it's about. The nature reasserting its. Privacy it's right to live after this sort of being trampled by humans and other creatures. And might never took -- right I chose one from his early period that he he's delivery service shows you where he was the beginning of his career. Kiki delivers -- against girl at the percent of -- as we just this week that'll plug in which. He's got a style all of zone if you don't know what you've got a treat in store few -- seed pod Leo. Could replace them as anywhere to start and then go see all the rest of them that they're wonderful wonderful. Pieces of work in my Zaki is a genius my -- on my neighbor thorough and she loved it last night so I can. Back them up on its claim that about now take it take it upon -- and and and feel the other two. Well it's clear way and Bob -- that you know more complex but. Wonderful stuff all right that'll do it for this edition of."

“…First please join me in pondering. The inscrutable ways of the Massachusetts legislature. . Did you notice how everyone -- yesterday for picking a Beacon Hill insider that is favored candidate. For lieutenant governor senator Richard to say is such an insider. That none of us know he was out I mean out of the -- public official. Which is in the horn this commentary that did strike me as odd but to say he's been in public life for 25 years the longest serving Republican legislature. . And it never came up that he is day. No well but back to my point everyone says to say will be viable because of his institutional knowledge of the state else. Which for my money is just another way of confirming that the way the legislature operates makes absolutely no sense for the rest of us for example. Other -- speaker Robert to Leo and senate president -- Murray does anyone seriously think the legislature deserves and nice long rest until the end of the year. That's like passing a few bills and a budget back in June left them exhausted for the remainder of 2009. So once again we are fixated on the spectacle of a democratic governor. Begging a democratic legislature to go back to work on behalf of largely democratic constituents. …”
