Lost in Transmission
Everyone in India has seen Lost in Translation but it's still not showing in Osaka--just in that one theater in Tokyo.
And for good reason. Personally, I advocate turning a blind eye to anything you don't like because it might possibly, though you can't be sure, offend you.
This film is not only dangerous, but has the potential to become a blockbuster behemoth--stealing vital dollars, I mean yen, from more deserving artistic pieces and indies currently showing such as:
Long live Tom Cruise! Ken Watanabe! And the TRUTH!

- Kill Bill: Vol. 2--which has the added benefit of saying nothing at all stereotypical or offensive about any Asian culture
- The deeply important Passion of the Christ--sure to stir controversy and political discourse here
- And who could forget, Quill--certainly edifying and stars a cute-as-the-dickens little white puppy. Awwwwww.
Long live Tom Cruise! Ken Watanabe! And the TRUTH!
