I Need an Interpreter

So I just watched "Lost in Translation" and now I might have to turn my film critic card in.

I didn't like it.

The film was so swamped with metaphors that I didn't have a clue about, the plot was completely murky, and even the title barely gives me a sense of the film. Bill Murray and Scarlett Johanson are lost and then find each other to become slightly less lost. Maybe. Even TVTropes could barely give me a sense of what this film was about. I just didn't see what all the fuss was about.

Was the audience being lost intentional? Was this just a giant game to make us empathize with the characters? I don't even know.

On to other matters. Today, my first official day of spring break, I did nothing, and it was glorious. I ate some food, let gold rack up on my Fable III character, and read. I love reading, I wish I could do it more often. I love free time. I wish I could travel, be free of restrictions. Someday I will.

I'll just be sure to avoid Japan.
