New theme? Very Snazzy. I have decided to re-read the entire HP series.

But Daniel looks kind of weird.The other two look happily normal though.

Yeah, I spent a while trying to redo my layout. Credit goes palebird and rollrightover, of course.

Really? I like the shot of them in motion/action/laughter. He's throwing a paper airplane.

Hmm...I do like the shot and the laughter, I think Dan just looks a bit unnatural to me. Or maybe it looks unnatural to me because it looks uncomfortable. I am not sure.

I didn't know Christian Bale was Howl! I loved Howl, though I haven't yet read the book. And now I love him all the more because he is Christian Bale. But I do agree that parts of the movie did not flow that smoothly together. I think I should read the book :)

I liked Christian Bale's voice-acting! But maybe it's just because I liked the Howl character so much. :D

I'll take your advice and read the book though.

Hm, I thought it was a bit one-note. I expected more from Bale, haha. Yes, Howl is a wonderful character. He's even more awesome in the book. ;)

Yay!

Hello, here because I was trying to find clues as to what had happened with everyfandombigbang. I was just thinking about rewatching this adaptation, after reading the sequel to the book quite recently. It is a beautiful mess, definitely.

Hey there! Yeah, I have no idea what happened with everyfandomfest. Ooh, Castle in the Air or House of Many Ways? I haven't read either, but I definitely plan on doing so.

And oh yes, the movie was gorgeous, but I was still very disappointed. There was a certain sly, mischievous spirit missing.... Oh well. I wonder what Jones thought of the adaptation.
