Despite the comments of one particularly hilarious pseudo intellectual reviewer, I do understand subtlety. I would also rather practice agonising self-mutilation than call myself a science fiction fan. I was however appalled by the dross that was Lost in Translation. Nothing happened and I was bored. I am very very rarely bored in the cinema and no, I don't only watch films with explosions. Moreover the two characters were singularly unappealing and this more than anything else made the film difficult to watch. Bill Murray looked sheepish, Scarlet Johansson looked impassive. For the whole film. And we were meant to empathise with their apparently very human plight. What a lot of nonsense. I empathise more with patronising IMDb reviewers than I do with this rather selfish, unexpressive duo. Anyway so i hated it. And so did my girlfriend. So there!
