<P>Well, now the World Cup fever has died down (at least for the English and
Japanese - though the curious site of teenagers sporting Beckham-styled mohicans
seems to be a fairly regular occurrence at the moment, and one of my students
recently asked me if the peroxide headed one is really as stupid as the Japanese
press have been making out, to which the only reply was as emphatic "Yes"), I
was wondering whatever happened to the US release of SPIRITED AWAY. I seem to
recall Mark Schilling posting something to the effect of a May/June time release
round about the time it picked up its Silver Bear at Berlin. Is this still the
case?</P></FONT></FONT></DIV>
