Lost in Translation (2003)

Nominee

BORING!!! SOOOOOOOOOO BORRRINNNNNGGGG!!!! I can barely discuss it because there is really nothing to discuss...NOTHING HAPPENS!!! Okay I got that out of my system now I am going to try and say what went so very wrong here...

Problem 1: This movie is based around a relationship...a relationship that we are never quite sure what it really is...friends??? but there is sexual tension??? but he is also sorta a father figure??? Also the characters were bored with life so we got all these long shots of them being boring...so guess what...it was BORING!!!!...damn I was trying not to do that again....re-focus...Bill Murray you granted me some chuckles...Scarlett Johansson you did a great job of wearing head phones and staring out windows...yay!!!!

Problem 2: This one is short... it was marketed completely wrong...on the back of the DVD we have Peter Travers of Rolling Stone saying it was "FLAT OUT HILARIOUS!" Peter...I am mad at you... I did not lol, rolftercopter, or lmfao...this means it is in fact not FLAT OUT HILARIOUS! In fact it is not even Flat out hilarious! or even flatouthilarious...its just not funny

Problem 3: I have never been to Japan but Tokyo is supposed to be a high energy place...I feel like a broken record but why do directors feel things have to be slow to be artsy...YOUR AUDIENCE IS NOT STUPID!!! You want to show us Japan, show us the true energy not some slowed down shots that feel like we are stuck in a time warp...

Problem 4: Francis Ford Coppola apparently has too much money from the Godfather movies and Apocalypse Now that he feels the need to fund his little baby girls boring useless projects...Francis I can point in the direction of some very nice charities if you like...at least that would give society something.

Overall: Just go watch Groundhog Day instead.
