That Lost in Translation movie is really rather beautiful isn't it? I knew it was going to be good, but it was even better than expected. It's just great to see Bill Murray in these roles (like in Rushmore and Tenenbaums recently) where he's old, depressed, and miserable. His career has been really hit-and-miss the last... well all his career really. I mean, how do you go from Groundhog Day, Mad Dog and Glory, and Ed Wood to making Larger Than Life? What the hell? But some of his latest work is his best ever and he might even win an Oscar for this one.

Anyway Lost in Translation is just great and has a truly sweet and touching story. The music is great, too. It's not every day you get to hear karaoke versions of Costello, The Pretenders, The Pistols, and Roxy Music (the last one was just fantastic). The story really hit home with me, which was both great and a little depressing. Anyway, if you haven't seen it already you should go see it.

So, are you excited about the big game tomorrow? Yeah, it's going to be great to see Arsenal play against the first non-Middlesbrough team in months. I'm just kidding - I am of course talking about the Super Bowl, which a whole bunch of us will get together to watch tomorrow. The game is on in the middle of the night here because of the time difference, so I think we're going to get together early in the day and hang out, eat, drink, and get ready for what should be four hours of high drama. So I won't actually get to see the Arsenal game, but I'm sure the text messages will be flying in during the day.

Tonight is all about checking out the new indie club downtown and usually I'd go out of my way to bring you photo documentation of an event like that, but my camera has gone to those united states without me, so any review of the event will be sans images. Hopefully, I'll be able to remember enough about the night to write about it later and not be to wrecked when I have to go to the party tomorrow. But then what are the chances of that happening?
