I just picked that move up on DVD. I used to have a VHS copy back in college, but I don't know what happened to it after I graduated. It was one of those used ones that Hollywood video used to sell back in the day for like a dollar or two, and was left at my apartment for some reason. I watched the movie again when I got home, and I had forgotten how much I loved that movie. It reminded me of some of my past friendships that I had that while they are no more, they will always be with me. Anybody else like that movie? I think my favorite part is when they go out with her friends and then go back to that guy Charlie Brown's place and sing karaoke.

Lost in Translation came out when VHS was still around?? no way...

the scene where bill and scarlett are laying on the bed is my favorite - its just so real and awkward

i've never fell in love with a person on the screen like i did with scarlett in this movie

plus this movie introduced me to my bloody valentine

this guy i know bought it because he thought it was going to be some dumb comedy and he hated it - i got it from him for $5

1/18/2009 2:35:48 AM

yeah, I really like the movie... although I had a boner for Scarlett since Ghost World

1/18/2009 2:41:17 AM

Of course one of the best parts of the movie is the opening and the shot of Scarlett Johansson's ass.

I agree that the scene where they are just lying on the bed and talking to each other is also one of the best scenes in the film.

It came out in 2003 so there were still some people that hadn't gotten a DVD player yet.

is this "make a thread about an old movie" day?

Shit, I even like "In Good Company" because of her.

And Dennis Quaid and Eric Foreman.

But mostly her.

In Good Company is waaaaaay overlong.

Decent flick, though.

great movie - i think you can appreciate it more if you've been to any of the asian countries though or at least have done a decent amount of international traveling

1/18/2009 11:36:24 AM

weird timing, I just watched this last night.

I really enjoyed it, much to my surprise.

1/18/2009 12:17:37 PM

i forgot about this move. i think i saw it in that theater in 5 points in Raleigh where they play the rocky horror picture show every week.

i remember thinking was a good movie, but don't remember much about it. i should add it to my netflix.

1/18/2009 12:20:32 PM

the only thing that i found a little bothersome about it was

look a japanese guy playing ddr . . . look a japanese guy reading manga . . . look a japanese guy singing karaoke . . . oh no japanese people can't use Rs - never been done before

seemed to stereotype them - well i've never been there so whatever

Well I think they showed that to show how Charlotte and Bob felt out of place and were able to find comfort and familiarity in each other as the explore Tokyo together.

1/18/2009 1:33:58 PM

definitely one of my favorite movies, but i seem to meet a lot of people who just hate it, which i dont understand in the slightest. probably watched it 10 times or so when i was writing a paper on it in school and just got to like it even more. excellent movie.

1/18/2009 5:03:21 PM

i love this movie

and i love bill murray

but interestingly enough, my favorite thing about this movie was the look of petulant rage that Murray tried completely unsuccessfully to mask when he didn't win the oscar for it.

i've heard that a lot

one of my best friends parents lived in japan for 3 years and they absolutely fell ape shit in love with the movie because it reminded them of their time there

I thought the movie was very well done technically with good writing, acting, and directing.

but I just couldn't get in to the forbidden love kind of story it had.

1/18/2009 5:31:07 PM

i showed this movie to my mom she just couldn't get over the age difference

i hope when i get old i meet my scarlett

I didn't buy the VHS copy, it was just left at my apartment for some reason. I had never seen it at the time and threw it in. I was happily amazed at how good it was after watching it so I kept the VHS so that I could watch it every now and then. I don't know where it went after I moved though. I think one of my roommates took it with them. Either way I got the DVD and the special features now so it's all good.

1/18/2009 10:34:51 PM

I love the "interactions" between Bob and his wife.

1/19/2009 3:48:10 AM

great thing is that Bill Murray has been living out the movie since:

Great movie

Every time I hear Roxy Music I think of Bill Murray singing karaoke

1/19/2009 10:31:02 PM

I love this movie.

1/20/2009 10:42:06 AM

i don't think bill murray was doing much acting here - just being himself

i wonder if they were just taping him talking to his real wife when they did those scenes

1/20/2009 10:49:15 AM

I love this movie because it introduced me to the band Air that did the song "Along in Kyoto"

1/20/2009 11:00:37 AM

they said the same thing about frances mcdormand in fargo

it's quality acting, period

1/20/2009 11:06:22 AM

i enjoyed the movie a good bit the first time, but I can't sit through it again I dont think. Both times I have put it in with friends I have fallen asleep (granted it was sort of late...but thats when I generally watch DVDs so I dont normally have that problem) :/

I love movies like this normally but I seriously wanted to smash my head through a couple walls while watching it. I watched all of it thinking it would move me but, damnit, it was the same monotonous monotone one liners.

1/20/2009 9:40:31 PM

I was pretty underwhelmed by it too.
