Sunday: coda
It’s 11:45 and I still haven’t had dinner yet.  Popcorn and cotton candy, yes.  Dinner, no.

I went to see Paprika at the Broadway.  The movie’s basic premise:  What would happen if a machine allowed people to tap into others’ dreams… and what if that machine fell into the wrong hands?

Wow.

Perfect Blue may have been a right skull-fuck of a movie, but at least it got a few minutes into the movie before things went wonky.  This one…?  Right off the bat.  I don’t think that it was even three minutes in before everything went skewampus.   That said, I thought that it was a good movie.  It took a bit to suss out who was whom and how things related to each other, but things were okay once that was done.

Just before the movie’s end, posters for Satoshi Kon’s three previous movies – Perfect Blue, Millennium Actress and Tokyo Godfathers – can be seen.  I thought that it was a neat twist, not knowing that Kon had done this movie, as well.  I now need to see Actress and Godfathers, which most likely means that be adding a few more DVDs to the collection, soon.
