BTW: Paprika rocks.

Post by Crissa »

This movie is probably the best I've seen this year, and I doubt I'll see better:

Saw it last night. It was really awesome.

Absolutely no way to turn it nto a game, which is a shame.

Edit: The US trailer kinda blows... Here's some YouTube of the opening credits.

It was an entertaining, beautiful film...but it still wasn't worth the 8 bux.

My favorite scene was the buying movie tickets near the end. For some reason it reminded me that Tokyo is surreal as hell even without mass hallucination.

Looks like the same animation as the Paranoia Agent series (aka Lil' Slugger).

I don't know that I have ever agreed with Crissa on anything before, but I loved this movie. Ess (works at Blockbuster) gave me a list of last week's new movies, and because of this thread, I figured, "What the hell; let's watch Paprika."

It was awesome.

This reminded me of [counturl=119]something.[/counturl]

That makes me wonder why Blockbuster needed six months to get this movie in... It came out on dvd last spring.
