			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I don't know how many people here are familiar with Satoshi Kon, but he was my favorite Japanese director. He died the other day, you can [url=http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/26/arts/design/26kon.html]read about it here[/url]. He was working on a new movie when he died.

I felt that he pushed animation in directions almost no one else dare to go and I don't think there is anyone quite like him in Japan, Europe or the Americas. I was talking to my room mate about it and she was saying how she wanted to see Millennium Actress again and I was wondering why I didn't already own it, as it is a film about film-making which is one of my favorite genres. When I looked it up on Amazon it looks like it's out of print and the remaining copies are super expensive. I hope someone re-releases his older films in Blu-ray, they really deserve special treatment.

He was only 46, am about as sad as I can be for the death of someone I don't personally know.]]></content>
