Hi all, it's Morwen, coming out of lurk-mode again. ^^ I just found out that the screening schedule for Paprika is released. You can find it here: http://www.campuscircle.net/image/paprikars.htm
Has anyone in California or New York caught some of the other screenings yet? Can anyone give a summary of the content? I rarely go to see R-rated films, but I REALLY want to see this if it's something I can handle/justify to my parents. ^^;
Paprika's full screening schedule is finally released!

"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."
- Mark Driscoll
"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."

Wow. I could actually see this thing in theaters. . . *must see content review.*
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

Actually, Paprika's being released as a sub. XD; Which is a LITTLE disappointing to me, I'm a dub fan, but...I like subs fine, too.

I must inquire as to why. It got a 96% on Rottentomatoes.com, directed by Satoshi Kon, and probably includes some of the best cinematography and art out of most anime movies out there.
I will see this without a doubt. I heard incredible things about it, and I am a major Satoshi Kon fan; so I will not pass on Paprika. XD Satoshi Kon is by far the best director in the field. I find him better than Miyazaki in just about every possible manner.

And here is something to chew on.
Col. Roy Mustang
quoted from ANN wrote:Satoshi Kon's Paprika, which opened on Friday, May 25 on two screens in New York City, took in an estimated US$35,600 from Friday to Sunday, and a total of US$45,600 over the four-day weekend. These figures give Paprika the second-best per-screen average for either period, after Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. For comparison, Kon's Perfect Blue took in US$9,600 (on one screen) in its US opening weekend, while Millennium Actress brought in US$18,732 (six screens). The opening-weekend gross of Tokyo Godfathers was US$37,127, but that film opened in eight theaters. Source: Box Office Mojo

Well I guess it's about time for this announcement....unfortunately I already got a peek at a fansub....I like Satoshi Kon, but this was just ok. No big deal. The animation is fantastic! Don't get me wrong, but not much happens and the story drags.
It all looks nice though, even whimsical. Most of the characters figure out plot points like a half hour after the viewer.
There is a brief scene of nudity, and homosexuality is mentioned. I would assume the R Rating is for that and some bizarre/grotesque imagery. None of this is the point of the story, and honestly these are minor things that don't take up much time of the movie.
So IMHO go watch Paranoia Agent again, leave Paprika in the spice rack.

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. - James 1:2-4.
