Miike Canceled...

.
... his appearances at this week's Lincoln Center tribute to him and retrospective of his work because of the earthquake in Japan. His words via Subway Cinema:

"Japan was violently rocked, swallowed by the ocean as the lives of many disappeared amid the rubble. I had wanted to be here with you all. I had wanted to thank you all for coming from the bottom of my heart. But that wish was not granted. It is unfortunate and I am very sorry. Please accept my regrets. But, from this adversity — on our lives — we will all rise up without fail. As a start, I would be grateful if you could enjoy Japan from my films.

Sincerely,
Miike Takashi”

They say they're seeing if they can set up a remote Q&A, but my guess is he probably has other priorities right now.
