I am embarrassed to say that before today I had never watched Lost in Translation.

Holy shit does this film hit close to home. Business travel. Mid life crisis. Imperfect marriage. Fleeting non-romantic relationships while on the road. By myself and not knowing the local language. The calls from home and the guilt for not being there. The sleepness nights. The hotel bars. The loneliness.

Fuck.

I was on a trip to NYC when this came out, and went to see it one night. 25-year old zircona1 thought, "wow, movies are expensive here!"

Didn't drag in between the set pieces. I was surprised when I saw the credits that Atticus Ross and Trent rezner had done the music. Had not heard about that at all.

This movie felt like it was inspired by a SCP-Foundation anomaly or a video game. Fun! It was very nice of the hollow men to give Drasa and Levi some time for a proper date.

saw Trouble Every Day

it's crazy that this can be seen as part of the same "genre" as Coralie Fargeat's films

it was really interesting, will have to see it again

Don't let M Night Shyamalan's role as a producer turn you off - Caddo Lake is a smart twisty-turny time jump scifi head scratcher with great performances and a Mobius script that ngl left me a bit discombobulated during the third act but still hit hard. Got a li'l weepy.

Attack the Block was a gas! Cool aliens.

Delicatessen, for the first time. Wonderful. Chased it with the 2007 version of Funny Games. Also wonderful.
