Can't believe I didn't see this until today: A. O. Scott has an absolutely glowing review of Miyazaki's work.

And, it's been a great day to be a Yankees fan. The new stadium looks fantastic, though it won't carry all the historical weight of the old (but hopefully the mystique and aura will still be there). The game tonight was also one of their best of the year. A late inning rally, a game-winnning home run, the Yankees of the dynasty-era have finally returned!
