I think I might have a Lost In Translation themed day for the 10th reunion.
Enthusiastically eat my sushi breakfast.
Go to a photo shoot and make jokes about Joy Bishop.
See a guy reading Japanese manga on the bus.
Go for an all fish lunch and switch to Biru (They all look the same!!)
Go get my Toe looked at, and chat in the waiting line.
Go swimming, then agree to go out for the evening.
Have no idea what the rad hip-hop guy across from me is saying,
Actually go out for evening.
Sing karaoke badly,
Listen to 'Sometimes' on the cab home,
sing the spy who loved me.
Almost go to sleep.
Watch La Dolce Vita.
Chat about family.
Feel all warm and Fuzzy.
Yes, it will be a good day.

Wow...happy 10th! It's about time for another viewing. Although I'm sad to say I missed doing it on the anniversary, I will say I always preferred watching it around the last week of September/ 1st week of October as to coincide with the actual filming dates. I think I know what I'll be up to next weekend...I have a date with my bottle of Suntory Hibiki and Charlotte![/img]

Wow....I recall visiting my favorite video store (remember those?) and Laura, the owner, as always, recommended a movie. Bill Murray in a serious role? Dreamy unconventional romantic film set in Japan you say?
I must have rented it a dozen times before finally buying it.
This movie will most likely never be tipped from my number one slot...years later, four children, now some teenagers - who like to ask 'dad, WHY is that movie still number one to you?'. It has everything I love...that melancholy sensation of being lost...Japan...romantic tragedy..lots of night...and of course those moments of reality that we all must face (Lydia calling Bob...my wife and I like to often mimic that moment "tell her I said...EAT!" lol)
Anyway, enough carrying on...but my love for this movie will carry on always. I'd like to share my desktop, which hasn't changed in appearance in..well, probably going on 10 years! Have a great day all!!!

This is my first posting, I want to write about my love of this film in a more appropriate thread and will try to make something coherent and hopefully worth reading soon.
My wife and I are planning our second trip to Japan right now, we are going in April next year and yes, we are staying for three nights at the Park Hyatt, I have always wanted to gaze out of the windows of that place and look down on the bright lights of Shinjuku and now imma get that chance.
Like a lot of people who have posted here, LiT is kinda central to my love of Japan and Tokyo, it captures a stranger's spatial relationship with the place incredibly well.
The first time we visited Japan -in Sept 2011- we stayed at another elevated Hotel, also called the Park (in Shiodome, close to the harbour and looking over Odiaba, also quite a bit cheaper) We had a room on the 29th floor, which was great, except for that one aftershock I experienced *shudders*
However, even then I just knew it wouldn't quite compare to the Park Hyatt and so, I have to go there and feel it out.
On the flight to Narita, LiT was in the 'classics' section of British Airways' in-flight entertainment, it was almost too perfect, I watched it on the way over there feeling excited and again on the way back feeling elated but a little broken-hearted knowing that we wouldn't have the money to return to Japan for at least a couple of years.
