| Boring movie. Did I miss something? |
| "the opening shot of Scarlett Johanson's panty clad butt" is damned hard to beat, and it brought Airsoft into my wife's experience, but other than that it did nothing for me. I give it credit for not being the same old shit out of Hollywood, but it was uneventful at best. |
|
The street scenes were right on, and it captured the whole feeling of being on a business trip in Japan perfectly. The story totally sucked. The climax of the movie, where he whispers something in her ear, you can't hear what he says. Overall I give it two lids down. |

I got the whole movie....yeah yeah yeah they are the only ones understanding eachother...yeah capitalism destroys art... [SIZE=6]STILL THAT MOVIE SUCKED[/SIZE=6] [rant] And on another note, I'm sooo sick of "artzi" people always trashing capitalism, and the "art makes life worth living" line...MONEY PUTS FOOD IN YOUR MOUTH! End of story! Period! So STFU! [/rant] |

[/rant] no shit i've got a college "friend" who lives in town here he has a music degree and is constantly bitching about "greedy capatilsts" and bitching about "tax cuts for the rich" I haven't talked to the guy in about 8 months because every time he rants I have the almost overwhelming urge to break his fucking teeth. here's why: he says all of this shit while 1) getting help paying his rent from his parents, who run a small business 2) driving around a brand new audi that his parents bought him as a graduation gift (I'm sure they pay his insurance too) 3) spending money going out to nice restaurants every weekend. the stupid prick works part time making sandwiches. what a tool. he seemed ok in college, but that was before I figured out what a whining leech he is |

I'D RATHER TAKE A BATH WITH HILLERY THAN WATCH THAT TURD FILLED FILM EVER AGAIN!!!! the only redeeming quality of that scat fest was the fact that murray is a republican. other than that, i'd equate that torturous experience with a phone call we've all gotten on a day off early in the morning. ya know, you try to sleep but it keeps ringing, ringing, ringing, & ringing. to the point of wanting to slowly tighten a vise on a chunk of skin on the back of your ball bag. ...did i mention that movie sucked? |

You guys (me too) are so brainwashed with car chases, blood, tits and zombies, that you cannot distinguish quality when you see it. [:D] That thing was dead-on as far as the depiction of business travel. If it sucked, then they did it right. Business travel sucks! As far as the ending, what do you need, a friggin' billboard? He said something to the effect, "I'll contact you when I get back." Geez. |

[:D] gratuituos (sp?) car crash, "hollywood" blow 'em up shit is largely lame, i agree. the point is of this film is that the dialog & storyline seems entirely fathered by a post drunken-drug induced hollywood; "who can be more of an art/theatre fag" brain storm party. |
| Lived in Japan for three years and change. Liked "Lost In Translation", disliked "Rushmore" and "About Schmidt" (Full frontal Kathy Bates nudity without warning? Funny; but not in a ha-ha kind of way - at least not until you recommend the movie to someone else) |

Sofia Coppola's first flick, "The Virgin Suicides" was far better, even though it also had a non-ending. This is simply a case of Hollyweird refusing to believe that the daughter (or grand daughter ?) of Francis Ford Coppola didn't inherit his talent. hollyweird has it's own royalty, and they do their damndest to preserve that illusion.
