I just heard that a director of animé films, Satoshi Kon, passed away from cancer at age 47. (RIP)

I was only vaguely familiar with his work, since somebody loaned me a movie of his called Perfect Blue, and I didn't care for it at all.
I'm gonna have to check out his 2006 project, Paprika, though, because it bears an uncanny resemblance to Inception.
Here's the IMDb synopsis: "When a machine that allows therapists to enter their patient's dreams is stolen, all hell breaks loose. Only a young female therapist can stop it: Paprika."
Somebody even made a Paprika/Inception mash-up...

Neither film is the first to deal with invading the dreams of others.
It's in the execution, not the premise.
"I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him."

Well, maybe it was just that shot of the hotel corridor, with the guy floating in zero-g, that tripped me up.

So, we're promoting piracy on Firefly fans now?
Interesting...
On a sad note, the director of Paprika dies this week.

Quote:A person with your signature ("... lead him to a quiet place and kill him.") is disapproving of others? You are unclean! I don't think you have any amount of moral credibility. I challenge you to a duel on this very page!!!

To all those people whose moral values have been warped by Firefly, a show about killer space pirates who disrespect wealthy Alliance corporation Blue Sun, I urge you to straighten-out your life by honoring, with money, the memory of deceased director Satoshi Kon. Please send $9.99 to the wealthy American corporation Amazon in honor of Satoshi Kon - www.amazon.com/Paprika-Satoshi-Kon/dp/B000ZJ0AGU/ In return you will receive instructions on how to download Paprika to your TiVo® DVR or Windows PC.

Quote:I have challenged you to duel. The first one to laugh loses. I dare you to make me even smile. I will go first with my pirated comic book, which I actually also purchased.

I impatiently wait for your return salvo of funny!
EDIT: MANY HOURS LATER: I've waited impatiently for Storymark's response. The duel started ALREADY! There must be a clear winner in this duel and loser.
If I lose, I add to my signature: "For another season of Firefly who do I kill at FOX?"
If I win, Storymark's new signature is: "For more Firefly I'd bonk Rupert Murdoch!"
Did I win, already? Did Storymark laugh?

Dude, I've no interest in your duel.
The quote is from Mark Twain. Edumacate yourself next time.

This should be the new Storymark signature because the old one is overly belligerent: "It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare." - Samuel Langhorne Clemens

That's a good quote as well. I'll stick with the one I have though, as it feels very much like something one of the crew might say.
And really, how belligerent is it? I'm kindly and forgivingly murdering them in cold blood. That's not so bad, right?
