Quote:My mistake, Kenji, I meant to say that I bought the movie, on DVD. I think I'm gonna watch it tonight, after I finish "Alien" for the millionth time. (Everyone in "Alien" looks so YOUNG! It was made 25 years ago!!)Very coincidental. I watched it just last night on Bravo.

Moi, aussi! LOL! I was watching Bravo, too! I can't help it. If I see Ripley anywhere, I just have to drop what I'm doing and watch, or at least have it on in the background. I'm addicted to the Aliens, especially the first two.

So far, everybody loves this movie. I'm glad to know that.
Everybody, come to Japan! Do enjoy Japan tour. If you come to Tokyo, I will gladly do tour guide for you.
But, before you come to Tokyo, you must learn a little Japanese. Almost Japanese people can't speak English. :o

I hate to be the voice of contradiction here, but I did not necessarily like this movie at all. I didn't think it was bad, but it certainly wasn't great. I tried to like it, I really did, but it just didn't work for me. I think the film was trying to be too many things maybe...it tried to be a comedy, but didn't quite make it. It tried to be dramatic, but didn't quite make it. It tried to have a plot, but didn't quite make it. It even tried to be boring, but didn't quite make it there either. So it was just interesting enough to be worth the $2 I shelled out to rent it, but not interesting enough to hit the pause button for a trip to the fridge.

My wife and I loved this movie. Because having lived in Japan there were moments in it that were like flashbacks. Cracked us up good. Very good potrayal of a Gaijin in Japan.
Sugoi!!!

OK, I saw this movie AGAIN, and it just keeps getting better. Like the proverbial onion skin, there are layers to this lovely little gem, and it's a joy to keep peeling and peeking.
I want to know what Bob whispers in Charlotte's ear as they say their poignant goodbyes.
Just a great movie.
