Paprika
Today I saw the most amazingly original film I have seen in a long time, certainly the most original cartoon: Paprika, a Japanese anime that goes so far beyond what I ever imagined could be the limits of the genre. Astounding. A daring science fiction trip into the psychology of dreams. It is less realistic and humane that Wim Wenders classic Until the End of the World which also deals with dream machines, but as a cartoon it beats most records of weirdness, and I have seen a few, such as Naked Lunch or Being John Malkovich or Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Very much worth watching, if you feel in control enough to rock your psychological boat.
A film that can easily be seen twice.

- I know the forms below are a little small. We have asked for years for this to be changed, but I don't think it's going to happen soon. In Apple's Safari you can resize the entry box with you mouse. For people using other browsers click on this javascript link, that should allow you to resize your form.
- Comments are moderated, so they will take a little time to appear. Currently moderation means I have to read them personally. Hopefully with OpenId deployment, this will become more automated.
- HTML markup no longer works here, due to some decision made somewhere. Sorry about that.
- If you are having trouble posting, it may be that you need javascript to be enabled. I don't think javascript should be needed for submitting a form, but that's the way it is here.
