Someone's selling a hand drawn picture by Satoshi Kon on eBay. It's painted on a catalogue from some spanish film festival. It seems Satoshi was one of the special guests.
It's around 12 bucks now. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=320052739084 |

Woah, an opening that's actually only a couple miles away from where I live. Cool.
I'm down for meeting up with any of the cool people here at ANN. I could do Thursday and/or Saturday. I'm probably going to take the bus up from where I live since it's cheaper than parking, unless anyone wants to carpool from my place - PM or email me if you're interested. |

I can not think of any film I have been this anxious to see. Kon's works never fail to leave me awestruck. It would be wonderful to see this film get Oscar-push kind of exposure in the U.S. Glad to know I wasn't the only one who was a little "disapointed" in Howl's Moving Castle.

As another fan who saw Paprika in Hawaii, I also advise everyone in the LA area who loves anime OR movies to see it. It will not disappoint either group. I agree that it should be enjoyed first, but that doesn't mean it can't be analyzed later. The incredible art and creative sequences are really enhanced by CGI. The camera perspective moves freely and does things that most anime couldn't do until now. An anime lover would pick these up right away. A movie lover might love Paprika for different reasons. For starters, it references a number of classic movies. Camera motion allows Kon to leap between completely different scenes without getting lost, and a lot of the movie seems aware of perspective. The movie also blends at least two stories, Atusko/Paprika's and the detective's, and carries both to a satisfying conclusion. |

I was planning to see this sometime before Sunday, so seeing it with fellow ANNers on Saturday morning might be fun. I was just going to use whatever parking is available, since downtown driving makes me crazy and I want to end the painful experience as soon as possible. Too bad it's so soon from now and L.A. is so freakin' big, or else some kind of car pool to save $$$ could be arranged.

I'am jealous of most of y'all. I sure hope this one will come out on limited realese nationwide. I really want to be able to see this in a theater. In fact it would be a shame to miss it in one!
As far as an Oscar, I don't think it will happen, but it would be nice. Even though I haven't seen it, if it holds up to everyone elses reviews, I would be surprised if it doesn't get nominated. But I won't hold my breath either. |

Don't feel too bad. The theater it's playing in is out-of-the-way and kinda ghetto. It's like the rest of L.A.: good exteriors to hide a
mediocre interior. |

The Paprika OST came out in Japan today, so it's not the only option anymore if you have the cash to spare (or can drop a hint to the right person on what you want for Christmas.) 
True, Miyazaki has been directing movies far longer than Kon has, but I still reserve the right to mention that the most recent movie by the most famous anime director in the industry wasn't quite up to his par. 
(To be completely honest, I do prefer Kon's work over Miyazaki's work.)

I don't know if anyone is still reading this thread or not, but I'll be there tomorrow (sat), and I definitely look forward to meeting fellow ANN members.
I'll be the short hobbity one with the massively curly hair and Furuba bag. See you then! |

Plans changed for me; I won't be able to make it until Sunday.
Oh well, I'm sure there'll be plenty more anime screenings in LA in the future. (BTW, if anyone else goes on Sunday, I always carry around a little black Lain bag so you can recognize me that way.)
