Lest you forget or not realize in all the Dark Knight hoohah currently going on, there is another movie of note opening tomorrow—Hayao Miyazaki's Ponyo on a Cliff. Yes, it's anime, and yes, it's only opening in Japan, but since Miyazaki is called the Spielberg of Japan and his last three movies have all become the highest-grossing movies in Japan, as a good nerd, you should know that Ponyo is happening.
Of course, if you watch the trailer, which is about a little fish/girl/creature that befriends a little boy and wants to live on the surface with him, you realize that Ponyo is made for Japanese 5-year-olds, and watching the movie is kind of like injecting Hello Kitty-brand cocaine directly into your retinas. Still, now you know.

This may be the first Miyazaki movie that i don't really care to see. I never thought he was that amazing but this is just, as you say, for 5 year olds. More so than like... Totoro. Yeesh.

Nice to see another Miyazaki movie, though I'm not going to rush out to see this one like Howl's Moving Castle. I wonder when Satoshi Kon will do another film...(probably awhile, Paprika was only a year or two ago >
