In any case, I'll say that I better not hear you whining about us whining about the edits done to these movies. We have the right to post whatever we feel and you can't tell us what to post. If you don't like what we post, guess what? DON'T FREAKING READ IT!

People are actually expecting TCM, of all stations, to edit these films?

Yeah, because "ONOEZ TURNER = MIGUZI" or something stupid like that. |

:snicker: Still, it is very hard for Americans to trust their TV broadcasters in general, when the norm on almost all non-subscription channels is to edit movies and TV shows down for reasons spanning from content to making more time for commercials  .
Turner Classic Movies is a major exception to the rule, however. It's one of the last cable basic channels that doesn't run commercials and airs movies without cuts for the most part. I can't say they never cut films because I'm not sure about that but I believe they almost never do it and the Miyazaki films won't be the rare exception IMO. Side notes - AMC actually went to commercials several years ago, while the Wizard of Oz commercial cutting frenzy debacal, where they put in so many commercial breaks in the airing that they literally stuck a commercial break in between the films end and the credits (which are less than a minutes at the end of the film), was on TNT (Turner Network Television) not TCM (TNT has always been a commercial network). |

I vowed a long time ago that I'd never watch that movie dubbed again. |

To send postal mail to Turner Classic Movies, please address it to: Turner Classic Movies Viewer Relations 1050 Techwood Drive NW Atlanta, GA 30318 After watching the first showing yesterday, I am going to write a letter an snail mail it to TCM and say how much I appreciate them showing these movies and how much I love that they showed the Dubbed and Subbed, uncut and commercial free. If you think this is a good idea, write! Your one snail mail represents more than you and will help bring more of this kind of thing to TV. |

Slightly off topic, but you should know that for the record, I have always known that TCM was commercial free. I just felt that that didn't necessarily mean that they wouldn't edit these films. After all, from an unenlightened, uninitiated mainstream (as opposed to an informed fan) standpoint, the films are "animated" and are from "Japan", and the mianstream viewers likely wouldn't care who Studio "Jee-blee" is, or who "Ha-yei-o My-a-zakee" is. There is also the issue of TCM (Turner Classic Movies) being owned by the same people the who own the (now, not entirely) Cartoon Network, which I mentioned earlier.
Anyway, I didn't watch "Mononoke Hime" or "Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi", but only because these particular films weren't of particular interest to me (I had seen Spirited Away in the theater, but I just wasn't interested this time). I do however, plan to watch the ones that DO interest me. |

A nice surprise. Funny how much easier it is to have the family watch on movie when it is randomly playing on TV than to have them startup a DVD.
Castle in the Sky next week! Woo! |

He directed a large portion of the 1st TV series. He only wrote and directed two episodes in the 2nd TV series, episodes 145 and 155. |

Yes, but TCM is still a commecial-free channel... for now. So its a straight run, no commercials. Unlike my once beloved AMC. How they hath forsaken me....

I loved how they showed both subbed and dubbed. No commercials either. I can't wait for next Thursday!

Note that Only Yesterday is being shown only subtitled - no plans to release the DVD in the US have been announced, as far as I am aware.

Sorry for bringing up a dead thread, but here's the reason why Only Yesterday won't be on DVD:

Can't they release this through Buena Vista, or are they too afraid of the soccer moms? |
