"Bibo no Azora" - Ryuichi Sakamoto

San Francisco/Philadelphia/New York (travel between the three)

you have to have the film already. just pop the dvd in your computer and then you can just chat/comment with other people in this forum (they will be a chat room) as the movie plays. you won't be at the exact same point in the film as everyone else, but it shouldn't be that far off (a couple seconds...

i'll try to make it! it's restaurant week here though, so I might be out for some fine dining

ironically, a trait of Lohan's that adults are disgusted by - her partying - is exactly what guys find attractive. College guys, which are maxim's target audience, LIKE girls who party hard and drink a lot; it's APPEALING to many college guys. btw, this entire thread makes me feel like I'm at a dinn...

I just watched it for the first time in at over a year and my god, does it still hit you.

The artist made six of these spiders around the world. They are, apparently, an ode to his mother. I don't know any more of the details.

But anyways...back to JAPAN! A day by day itinerary would be too long (I was there for 11 full days) and boring, but here's a rundown. So I went with a good friend from school who is so in love with the Japanese culture, he is fluent int he language (reading and writing also) and even lived in Chiba...

so I just got back from Tokyo/Hong Kong. going back to the dislike (which is an understatement) between Japanese and Chinese - yes, there is the historical elements (can you say Rape of Nanking?) but it's also culturally so different and I can see how Japanese people react as they do towards Chinese...

oh my god, i thought I saw sofia walk into this bar I was at, but it was a false alarm.

Btw, japanese people, I've found, HATE chinese people. They are always the butt of jokes, but you can tell they aren't REALLY kidding.

It is expensive, but if you live in NY, you should be used to it. My trip became expensive because of shopping, trip to Kyoto and bars (New York bar for example)

cameron diaz is HUGE in tokyo. she is a spokesperson for softbank

Oooo a couple things I want to quickly add: 1) I will end one LIT controversy right now (not the whisper): What was in the cup or bowl that Charlotte sends to Bob in the NY bar scene? People say it is a drink, other say nuts. The answer......NEITHER are correct. In the bowl are japanese crackers (no...

I am actually in Tokyo right now and have been since Sunday! It's amazing. The parts that you (LIT-fans) would be interested in that I have done (I'm writing all this in a rushed state, so sorry for bad grammar, spelling and just bad writing in general!): Visited Park Hyatt Tokyo and, of course, the...

that may be it, but i'm going to keep believing that what he said was something more fitting and beautiful than anyone can imagine

Jml, I'm really pleased to hear that you're heading out there this summer. Do you have your flights yet? I'd be happy to lend any advice I can. Yes I do. I'm spending a week in Japan (mostly Tokyo) and then a week in Hong Kong/Shanghai. I'm leaving from CA on May 27th (or 28th? i forget) Luckily, I...

haha yeah there ya go.

I just saw Children of Men, and my god, was that an epic dystopian movie if I ever saw one. Easily one of my top 10 of 2006.. SPOILER************ I love how it was shot in long continuing scenes. Very ambitious. The scene near the end where it follows Theo (Clive Owen's character) through the battle...

I love, by the way, how everyone on IMDB keeps asking this question. People have all kinds of theories and I think someone even said they used computers to figure it out... whatever those users say, it just never seems quite perfect enough. I don't know what Bob said and I don't want to know. I'm no...

actually i don't any japanese, but I did sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
