    my sister's just put this on. I love the film but I hate rewatching things over and over again.

      actally i think i may try and record the sound :)

  • Indeed yes!

    It's either that or Blues Brothers, anyway...

  • Ugh

    I'd rather sellotape my eyeballs to the sun than watch that yawning, plodding, self-congratulating pap-fest that is Lost In Translation. Oh look, all the japanese guys are short and the american is bored of trying to understand them!! HAHAHAH!!! Oh look, a girls bum!! HAHA Oh look, MBV!! Wow, SOFIA ISS OSSSOO DEEEPPP AND POIGNATTNt

        • I've never found her in anyway sexy.

          She should be good-looking in theory but she actually exudes absolutely no sex appeal to me whatsoever.

          • she's hot

            but a bit overrated. thats her charm though i think, she could be the girl next door but can be glamorous when needed. gives us girls hope.

            walkingwithwolves @theguywithnousername | 18 Jan '08, 22:19 | X
            • I've nver foudn her hot at all.

              Or that she has a lot of charm. She strikes me as being very bland and unappealing.

              It's weird 'cos I remember watching Ghostworld before she was famous and, although she's more conventionally good-looking than Thora Birch, Thora Birch is way sexier and way more apppealing.

              • hummm

                guess its down to personal taste.
                the most attractive woman on screen i had seen in a long while was the lead female in "das leben der anderen" (the lives of others) -
                absolutely amazing film...

                  Although the most attractive woman I've seen in a film for a long while was Nora Zephron ( if that's her name) in Brick.

            Scarlett playing Courtney? No way will see pull that off. Just like Kirsten Dunst won't pull off Debby Harry in the new film

                      Still, on the bright side for you, if you ever get stuck in a lift with me and Scarlett Johansson, at least you'll have an entirely free run at chatting her up...

                I knew it was love or hate, but apparently it's hate or hate.

                *I* love it. I don't think it's trying to be especially deep, or anything. It's just really simple. I enjoyed every minute.

                great soundtrack and it's visually stunning. Although as Sofia Coppola films go I think I marginally prefer The Virgin Suicides, which just has this aching beauty coursing through it.

                • I thought that

                  the depiction of the Japanese was a bit "haha, they're weird!" at the start, which I guess might be the first impression on bored visitors - but then as they went through the story, and started actually exploring Tokyo, they found some proper Japanese friends, and got past that.

                  I reckon.

                    was the stuff they didn't say that was so obvious that it doesn't count as being under the surface. I like how simple it us.

                      Soundtrack is equal.

                      The Virgin Suicide has none of the poignancy or emotional draw of Lost in translation.

                          Then watch La Fille Sur Le Pont. Vanessa Paradis is suicidal and jumps off bridge. Daniel Auteil saves her and convinces her to be his glamourous assistant. He's a knife thrower. She's got nothing to lose. They have a relationship, but don't. It's all in black and white. The soundtrack isn't as good but it's a much better film.

                            For me it just gets more points for being in French. I'm not a massive fan of LIT but I reckon it wants to be in French too.

                              recently, and really liked it, though it's not on a par with LiT.

                              I realise LiT can divide opinion easily, because it isn't based around plot, but I love it for, as someone has mentioned, the mood, and the relationship between the two characters.

                                    I haven't seen the film, I've just heard the film is pretty shoddy, and I'm not really a big fan of that whole 'real life' dialogue that someone like Tarantino peddles.

                                    I don't care that nothing happens. I don't want anything to happen. I just like watching the way Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson interact, and the incredible sense of loneliness which is conveyed through the cinematography and direction. That said, I got bored watching it a second time. But the first time was cool.

                                    • I love this film. A lot.

                                      It's beautifully filmed, well soundtracked and well acted. I don't really care if nothing happens, it's genuinely sweet.
