DADDY DEAREST: HAYAO/GORO INTEVIEW UPDATE
Over on the Mutant Frog Travelogue those emotional perverts have continued translating the interviews that chronicle the greatest Father/Son smackdown since Jesus and God went at it back at the Crucifixion. Yes, it's the most recent update in the Goro Miyazaki/Hayao Miyazaki feud. The latest is a juicy slab of translated interview from back in December 2005 with the film's producer, Toshio Suzuki, who finally reveals why on earth he chose Goro to direct TALES FROM EARTHSEA (the short answer: he forced him to do it for the future of the company).
But check out the great quotes by bad dad, Hayao Miyazaki, including the following:
On Goro running the Ghibli Museum: "If you’re OK with it, and he says he’ll do it, then there’s nothing I can do."
On Toshio Suzuki lobbying for Goro to direct EARTHSEA: "There’s something wrong with Suzuki."
And my favorite, on his son being chosen to direct the film: "There’s no way he can be a director. He can’t draw, and he doesn’t know anything about animation!"

Thanks again for the link.
There's a little more to the interview, involving a touching interlude in which Goro befriends the son of Earthsea's original author. I'll get to it when I have some time..
