Lost in Translation... what an amazing film.
Only half way thru and it's already on my all-time top 10 list.

Scarlett J. is stunning.

4. It brought back memories for me.
I was there 20 years ago. Tokyo has nothing on Kyoto, from a visitors point of view.

But it's a fantastic film.

Well done, Sofia Coppola, bet your dad was proud of you for that.

Gotta get the DVD.

6. Please explain it to me
I love the bulk of Bill Murray's work, have to watch Groundhog Day while Mrs. ZBDent's asleep, but I just didn't see the attraction of this one.

This was a WTF moment for me . . . :wtf:

8. Have you ever experienced extreme culture shock?
It helps if you have.

10. I understood the culture shock
but wasn't it supposed to be a comedy? Maybe that's where I went wrong.

I thought the funniest thing was when they showed the full bit where he was appearing on the Japanese show where he put his hand in the box with the eels . . .

Not much else made me like it.

12. I loved the ending
which was, imo, the best part.

I didn't love it quite as much as everyone else did, and I think that Sophia Coppola has a LOT more attonement to do before she can be forgiven for destroying Godfather III, but I guess it's a good start.

Yes, Ms. Johannssen was incredible.
