So I just saw Ponyo (on the Cliff by the Sea, if we want the full title)...
PNQ: Why does everyone else love this film when I see very little to recommend it?
I mean, the plot is continually taking a back-seat to Miyazaki visuals. And yes, I admit that they have a style that you can't get anywhere else, but eventually it turns into the special effects shots in Star Trek: The Motion Picture. I reach my capacity of fluid, naturalistic visuals and just start hoping that the plot starts moving faster.
