Author Topic: Satoshi Kon passes at age 46 Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under! Posts: 3836 From: Albuquerque, NM Registered: Feb 2000 posted 08-26-2010 12:04 PM                        Animation fans and pros alike are remembering Satoshi Kon, who died Tuesday from pancreatic cancer at age 46. He didn't get to make many films, but the ones he did make were most memorable. His filmography: Memories - 1995, Magnetic Rose segment, screenplay Perfect Blue - 1998 Millennium Actress - 2001 Tokyo Godfathers - 2003 Paprika - 2007 The Dreaming Machine (in production) and the TV series - Paranoia Agent - 2004 Kon-sensei, you gave us some truly wonderful films. Please go to your rest in peace.  |  IP: Logged Jim Bedford Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 597 From: Telluride, CO, USA (733 mi.

To think that we'll miss the next 20-30 years of his potential work that could take him to Miyazaki-land is a huge loss.  |  IP: Logged Mark Ogden Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 943 From: Little Falls, N.J.

I believe one person who DID see it was Christopher Nolan, and I would not be surprised at all if a great deal of the plot of Inception came out of his experience of seeing it.  |  IP: Logged
