Satoshi Kon.... I Will Miss You.

Just a few minutes ago I found out that one of my all-time favorite directors, Satoshi Kon, passed away yesterday... Rumors say it was cancer. I had no idea he was even sick. I'm really saddened by this shocking news... he was too young. So much potential.

I love all his films to bits especially Millennium Actress and Paprika both of which are

I also found out about it just yesterday by case, just for leafish's post.
I didn't know he was sick neither... I never watched any of his films unfortunately (I always wanted to see Paprika though), but I heard a lot about him. It just seems so sudden, it's hard to believe it.
I'm really sorry ;_;

You should see his films. They're all wonderful and unusual! Especially Paprika. I love it so much.

The Dream Machine looked really interesting and I was looking forward to it. I wonder how they're going to finish it now...

I think I will do it now :) I never found the chance to watch them, I thought that there would always be time... at this point I can't posticipate anymore.

I'm sure they will find the way. As with Parnassus, I don't think they'll throw the project, especially if his author now is no more. We can only wait and see though...

NOOOOO SATOSHIII ;_;
Gosh, that was unexpected. I loved Tokyo Godfathers and Paprika (but only up to the point where Paprika is in the butterfly room)

the best thing they could do to honour him would be finish the dream machine ; - ;

Man I will forever miss him,never again will someone make movies like him,Perfect blue will always be one of my top 5 favorite movies.
May our hero rest in peace.
