NewMexiKen realizes that I am no longer a member after the sought-after movie audience, and further that I might just be sophistication-challenged, but what exactly was Lost in Translation about? And more to the point, what was the buzz about? While grateful for any film where no one is tortured, mutilated or shot, or where no cars explode, Lost in Translation had no action, not much plot, and two rather blah characters. Seinfeld episodes had more of all three.
And while Bill Murray was fine, wasn’t he just playing Bill Murray?
Indeed, I’d rather watch Groundhog Day over-and-over than see Lost in Translation again.
