Anything and nothing and everything in between with tangents or topics on the subject of Wikipedia.
Closing out another promotion and a look see on the results and entries making a play for the booty. In this case, a copy of a Studio Ghibli DVD from the crew at Dendy Cinemas. Reason being that of the exclusive limited season of
Tales from Earthsea from, yes, Studio Ghibli.
Ten days for one reel to play at the Dendy Newtown in Newtown's Dendy Cinemas and on to the next state. So, on to the scoreboard of entries and the art coloured in the lines.
Who sings the theme song to Tales from Earthsea?
Aoi Teshima.
On the surface isn't all that simple. Unless a quick check of
the Wikipedia entry is made. Not much for
the IMDB listing. Clearly nothing from
the film's official site.
Well, it is a crap shoot when playing with Wiki as a source. In this case, it plays well enough to the tune.
Name another Studio Ghibli film not already mentioned on this page:
Any of the following made an entry a valid entry:
Laputa: Castle in the Sky, Grave of the Fireflies, Kiki's Delivery Service, Only Yesterday, Porco Rosso, The Ocean Waves, Pom Poko, Whisper of the Heart, Princess Mononoke, My Neighbors the Yamadas, The Cat Returns or
Spirited Away.
Most entries fell safe and late with the use of
Spirited Away as the chosen marker. Obviously, when sorting through, and with the options to consider, any entry which opts to drop with any other title floats a bit higher in the pool.
When picking from a list, take a look at other movies, in case they don't seem so dragged down by being so recent or popular as to not make the brain think.
Which Studio Ghibli DVD would you like to win?
Any would do: No preference;
Howl's Moving Castle; My Neighbour Totoro; or
Nausica of the Valley of the Wind.
This round works on two shots; the personal choice and the blind shot. For those who are really interested in picking up a DVD of their choice, they would go for the one they're looking to nab. Others, for the sake of winning, will just throw down "No preference" and hope for the best. When there are entries for all the other titles however, those with a shot at "Whatever" will lose out.
Most of the time.
Those that will always lose out are those who cannot decide and go for more than one. And that's the worst thing to do. There exists a blacklist for those who choose to rort. It's there for a reason. Stay away from it and have palms clear of red paint.
