The movie came out today but I can't see it until next week. In the meantime reading some reviews, Roger Ebert who may have liked it more than other critics, said a couple interesting things about it that I quote here: What's interesting is the way the director, Justin Lin, surrounds his gaijin with...

We missed that. Damn! That stuff really bugs me! I hate when they do that and don't tell you!

I loved The Island!

Just saw X-Men 3. It was sad, not great, but reasonably good.

I think it was just to add a diffused feeling relating to the atmosphere in the bar. If memory serves, its even described in the script that the music was playing and the atmosphere was "sparkling" as they looked at each other. I suppose this was the interpretation when it was put on film :) I just...

Watched it again Saturday afternoon for the umpteenth time.
Yes its not the same as the first or second time but there are still parts
that move me when they occur. Also I look at other things in the
frame and see more things I didn't notice as much before.

That's right, one day its going to be US that are posting from a luxury hotel in Tokyo looking out on the view and blinking red lights!

Maybe it was blurry because they were pressed for time and the light was dim and they werent using external lighting so the camera just got out of focus for a few seconds or something and they just decided to leave it that way.

If I pm you (k) with my email can you send it to me
and I can send it to someone else?

That's cool but I blame it all on the nude Vanity Fair cover!

I saw the trailer in the theater this past weekend and I have to say it
looks like the usual cliche'd dumb story that's been done a million
times before in some form or another. However as I said before I do like
the fast flashy cars and Tokyo so I'll probably see it.

Well this is very interesting all the debate that my quick post about a magazine cover has inspired! :shock: I guess like anything else the experience of it, of percieving it and having different reactions is kind of like what good (or bad) art is supposed to do. There is what VF intended or had mot...

You are hilarious!

Too funny JM!! My take on the whole translation thing is that in actual use, the terms needing no translation and lost in translation are very commonly used in everyday language to refer to any number of things having to do with cross cultural references and boundaries. If you do a google seach on t...

If anyone has this Japanese cd with the bonus tracks that we in the US didnt get and can send them to us/me please let me know thanks!

I think I'll go see this movie regardless!
It has two of my favorite things in it: Tokyo and fast carz!

So then are there any awards shows like the Golden Globes that you think have any class?!

God it was really disgusting :roll: :roll: :roll: Yea but it sounds like you watched it anyway. In a train wreck kind of way! :shock: I didn't see Scarlett anywhere. Did anyone? Maybe she didnt go. I didn't see Bill M. or Sofia either. I could go check gettyimages and see for sure or not but dont h...
