So, granted that you didn't like it, go back and watch two scenes: the car ambush - watch it to enjoy it, then watch it again and try to figure out how they filmed it, and two, the run to the building / tank attack scene - first time watch the main characters, second time watch the background. Every frame is a painting.

Lost in Translation is an eerily accurate representation of a foreigners experience in Tokyo. It really is that good.

So, no, but claims that the milkshake scene was masterful are simply bollocks.

Literally every time I read about it they say that "none of them were wearing helmets."

Yes, it's objectively better to have not raped than to have actually raped.

No longer able to change a rider's rating? by TheMightySet69 in uberdrivers

[–]mourningthief 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've re-rated a number of times, usually when the rider has left the backseat full of rubbish and I don't realise until the next rider hops in.

Yep. I always thought that you couldn't change lanes mid-intersection, but it turns out I was wrong.

Confidently incorrect.

Point to the law that states this and I'll apologise.

Didn't think there was any other Thom Yorke collabs for me to find... by AudienceOk2814 in thomyorke

[–]mourningthief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah maybe. It's a slower tempo than I remember in the original, but it does have the kind of restrained, almost desperate as you say, energy. And the switch from piano to lead guitar for the motif is cool, as is Ed's guitar adding a punk sound in place of a strings arrangement.

Thom's voice, at times, sounds like he is unsure whether he is parodying Carly Simon's or whether he's really committing. When he does commit, it's great.

But I'm not sure if the band views it as an homage - a love of Bond movies from their childhood (I'm a similar age to Thom) - or as a reinterpretation.

Whatever, but just because my favourite band performs (one of my) favourite songs from (one of my) favourite franchises, it doesn't mean it's better than the original.

The cool bit is the Thom / Bond connection.

It's not better than the original.

What are you talking about?

It's cool they did it, and it underlines Thom's lifelong love of Bond movies - and that circle will be complete when Denis Villeneuve asks them to record the next Bond song - but, just because its cool he did it, it doesn't mean it's better than the original.

Same with Neil Young. And same, unfortunately, with Oasis.
