As a kid, I distinctly remember going to the duplex theater w/ my parents and dad and I went to “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” while mom went to “Clockwork Orange”, I swear I am not making this up

no theater hopping, kids! I will always be in awe of the totoro / grave of the fireflies double feature, apparently showing fireflies second, just to really close it out

From what I’ve heard, theater owners in Japan had the choice which order to show the films in. Which is just….difficult to imagine.

yeah not sure what the right answer is, do you go totoro first and give them a chance to leave intact before fireflies even starts, or try and pull them back from the brink with totoro second reaffirming life

My choice would probably be the second one? But I don’t know!

I know it's art and important and all that but fireflies is one of those movies I'll never see a second time and wish there wasn't a first

I haven’t seen it for a couple decades. My wife won’t let me watch it. It’s a stunning movie and I love it. And am amazed that it was made by the same man who made Pom Poko.

there's a small list of movies that I think are impeccable but I'd rather have unanesthetized bottom surgery than see again.. requiem for a dream, irreversible, things of that nature
