I watched Lost in Translation for the first time last night. I guess I can see why it was nominated for so many awards - it's a pretty unique love story - but I felt the same way I felt about The English Patient - zero emotional connection with the lead characters left me waiting, or rather longing, for it to end. Some cool shots of Tokyo though. I had lunch at the New York Grill in the Park Hyatt when I was there last year - the views really are spectacular.
