Is this going to be on the test?

@JeffGSpursZone Good luck getting anything out Quaintance .
Literally anything at all. I've never seen a lazier, zero effort player in my life. Robbed the University of Kentucky blind and refused to participate in any meaningful way.
Good luck with that.

Inception came out in 2006 for $4 million. Christopher Nolan's $160 million version arrived four years later. The original director died five weeks after Nolan's opened.

His name was Satoshi Kon. The film was called Paprika.

Same dream-sharing technology premise. Same Japanese businessman hiring the team. Same physics-defying hallways. Same elevator descending through layers of subconscious. Same dream architect character.

Kon's entire production budget was less than what Warner Bros spent on Inception trailers. The marketing campaign alone was $100 million, 25x Paprika's full production cost.

Paprika opened in two US theaters. Total overseas gross outside Japan: $944,915. Inception grossed $839 million worldwide and won four Oscars. International box office gap: roughly 890 to 1.

Kon's crew of 50 at Madhouse worked from his hand-drawn storyboards. The dream parade, the warping corridor, the character who becomes the media they consumed too much of. 30 months from planning to completion with fewer people than a modern Pixar lighting department.

The part nobody talks about: Kon was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in May 2010. Inception opened July 16. He died August 24. He was 46. He made four completed features in his entire career. Perfect Blue. Millennium Actress. Tokyo Godfathers. Paprika. His follow-up Dreaming Machine was shut down permanently because his team said no one else could finish it.

Darren Aronofsky bought rights to Perfect Blue to recreate the bathtub scream shot in Requiem for a Dream. The bone structure of every serious dream-logic film made since 2000 traces back to four movies Kon finished in Tokyo on budgets Hollywood rounds off.

The industry found the storyboards. They just never paid the storyboard artist.

@ASeaOfBlue The absolute worst signing in the history of the University.
Just a complete loser.

O mano curou o câncer.
Teve que divulgar sua descoberta pra todo mundo pra não ser limado pela indústria farmacêutica, e agora tá lutando por um financiamento pra levar a cura pra os pacientes.

Pelo que li ele tá pedindo algo em torno de 30 milhões, quão difícil é ele conseguir esse valor pra algo que literalmente vai mudar o mundo?

VIDEO | Celebrated author George R R Martin says his new series "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms", which currently streams on JioHotstar in India, is one of the lighter and happier stories set in the world of "Game of Thrones", driven by two characters he considers among the best he has ever created.

"It's just a story that really seemed to be working for me. And it came alive, and I had these two characters. I knew I had to write more about them because they're two of the best characters I've ever created, and they're unlike other characters that I have ever created. I have had a large body of work at this point, but I don't write a lot about children because I don't have any. I think that's a necessary thing. I was one (child) once and I try to go back and see how I was feeling there.

"So to create a character like Egg and have the feeling that I did it right, and then a character like Dunk, he's very, very different than I am too.. I really like the characters and the general tone of the story. And I hope it's very different from 'Game of Thrones' or 'House of Dragons'. Yes, there are people who die in it, there's swordplay, betrayals and stuff going on, but the general tone, I think, is lighter and happier than the other books. And thanks to these guys, I think it's come out wonderfully and that people will really like it."
