I watched "Lost in Translation" for the 2o+ time today. It moves me every time.Some people watch it and say: "I dont get it?" and that's fine. Im just not one of them.
I savor every frame, every subtle use of a pinky finger taping her foot. I laugh out loud at the perfectly crafted awkward silences. I nod at the jabs made to people's self-serving shameless attempts at "cool." It's sneaky. Even after more than two dozen times, I still feel the heartbreak of loneliness between them when they connect and disconnect. Kindred Strangers....

I was reading a clever Q&A in "Movies Rock" where they asked Bill Murray the same questions Tiger Beat asked the Monkees in 1967. A few of my favorites:
TB Question: What word in the English language do you wish you had invented?
BM: "Blubber."
TB Question: What animal best describes the kind of girl you'd be interested in?
BM: "Wounded duck."
TB Question: If you could change your name, what would you change it to?
BM: "Bill Murphy"
TB Question: What is the main fault in your character?
BM: "Caring about others."
TB Question: If you met the right girl, would you propose to her tomorrow?
BM: "I met her twice, pal."
TB Question: Why do you think most girls date you?
BM: "Morbid curiosity."
TB Question: Happiness is a thing called..
BM: "Freedom."
I think he just made my top 3. ( for today)
