What are you doing this Friday? Hmmm? Battlestar ain't coming back until 2009, so you've got no excuse to stay at home. What do I recommend you do? Welcome visionary director Satoshi Kon to New York City!

Satoshi Kon will appear at The Film Society of Lincoln Center's Walter Reade Theater for a complete retrospective of his work from June 27 to July 1. The Film Society of Lincoln Center is screening all four of his feature films, as well as the entirety of his television series -- Paranoia Agent.

And following the 6:15 PM screening of Paprika on Friday, June 27, Kon will come onstage for a conversation about the depths of his stunning career.

If you'd like to take in Satoshi Kon's Paprika and meet the man, you can get your tickets right now at http://www.filmlinc.com/wrt/onsale/kon.html.
