This wouldn't be "Laputa: Castle in the Sky", would it? I can't remember if
that was Miyazaki or not.

Yes it is.  The reason it will be "Castle in the Sky" rather than
"Laputa:  Castle in the Sky" (or variations thereof) is because it has to
do with Laputa meaning something different in another language.

	To be a little less polite about it, laputa can be translated as la puta.
In spanish, this means 'the whore' or 'a whore'.

	It's also a running gag in the fanfic 'The Great Anime Crossover From
Hell' where one of the characters from that movie is constantly running
around looking for Laputa, and other people make snide jokes about her.

	A fun read. Question.. will this be available in WalMart? (That's the only
decent video retailer within my reach without having to go mail order.
*sigh*) Perhaps I'll wait for the sub.. hopefully, it won't have those
alterations you mentioned, Richard.

	Later all.. It's time for my prinivil. Why can't a medication ever be made
that doesn't taste so bad the cure's almost worse than the disease?
