I saw "Lost In Translation" this evening. Along with just 9 of the 170 reviewers on Rotten Tomatoes, I wasn't thrilled. "Dreadfully boring," were my words, I think, which may be unfair. The first chunk was kind of amusing, a little bit. I thought the rest of it dragged on, and on, and on... which may just mean I missed something, or I'm not as smart as Roger Ebert.

Back in Boston, by the way, for anyone following closely. 800 words on Harvard's "winter term" and/or the new year coming tomorrow morning if I can summon the inspiration.
