OH NOOO! T____T
He wasn't that old, was he? That came out of nowhere!. I own Millenium actress, I LOOOOOOVE that movie and I've seen Tokyo grandfathers too and I did cry like crazy watching it. I have yet to see the others, but he sure was a master storyteller. It is really a crime he passed T___T. People like that should live forever.

Yeah, he wasn't even 50. His goodbye message really breaks my heart.

I totally get that, about people living forever. Loss is such a horrible human thing...o_o

TG really depressed me. It's on my List Of Movies That Make Me Cry.

He has a film in post-production, I hope it doesn't get ruined.

Thanks for the rundown of his life's work, because alas, I haven't watched any of his films yet. I remember seeing Tokyo Godfathers when I used to browse through pirated DVD stores, but I didn't buy it because of the mangled Engrish summary.

My goal right now is to watch more Miyazaki; I guess I'll tackle Satoshi Kon afterwards. So little time, so many directors!

They're all exceptionally brilliant. I've seen all Miyazaki-sensei's work multiple times (in 2 languages, since the English dubs of his work are really good).

When I find a good director I tend to get into their work, same for good author.

M. Night Shamalayan is the exception - since "The Happening" was so goddamn awful, I plan to never see another of his films until he stops being crazy. In my mind it's like he's going through a "blue period" - like Picasso, but only really, really, horrible.
