Man, I don't know. The thing is, I am 99.9% certain that I am going to like this movie, because I have all the other movies, and I haven't been disappointed yet.

But it may take me some time to move away from the fact that it's not the book before I can enjoy the flick on its own merits. Which is too bad, because if anyone could make a movie of Howl's, it's Miyazaki.
