"Lost in Translation" was overhyped garbage. If it wasn't for Murray's performance nobody would have ever seen that hunk of junk. Unentertaining and worthless, none of Sophia's films are worth the film they're printed on.
I'm glad to see her finally getting the shitty reviews she deserves.
No way - this is the best movie I've seen all year. Expected to hate it for obvious reasons, but looooved it so much. Can't understand all the bad reviews, must be a penis thing.
"I saw the first ten minutes of Lost in Translation, and the next thing I remember was waking up six months later and a doctor telling my mother it was a miracle."
I still can't figure out how Dunst is famous. As far as I know, she isn't related to anybody famous, so she must suck a hell of a lot of cock or something to keep getting in films. Is there any straight men who actually think she's attractive? Are there any film buffs who actually think she's talented?
Her best performance was in Interview. Hmmm... she looked the best then too. Pity it wasn't a case of life imitating art and she got stuck that way forever. But then that would mean she'd live forever. Rambling a bit now. She looks even more awful than usual in these pics. Shudder.
Well you should know that the movie did very well considering it only opened in about 850 theatres as opposed to those the ranked above it that opened at 2000.

i liked a knight's tale, at least it was funny. i actually wanted to see this movie but i cannot bring myself to pay anything to see a kirsten dunst movie. and yes, interview was her best movie. period. she's not still riding the wave of that one is she?
"I saw the first ten minutes of Lost in Translation, and the next thing I remember was waking up six months later and a doctor telling my mother it was a miracle."
YES YES YES YES YES!!! After half of the movie I was looking at my watch every three minutes in exasperation! I was bored out of my mind - didn't walk out only because I thought something HAS GOT to happen, right? Lost in fucking Translation is the mother of snoozefests.
Bill Murray needs to date Kristen... I hate it when people name thier kids, a name thats HALF-ASS, when they could name the damn name what it sounds like, not the slured version. Like Kristin and Kristen. Why the hell don't people just name the kid KRISTIN! Much love to Kirsten, I hope you and Bill Murray have lots of KIDS! Just don't name them KIRSTEN!
todd, you are stretching a bit here. the reviews are pretty 50-50, not a straight out pan (and the reviewers you listed are kind of nobodies). and as mentioned above, it made good money for the amount of screens it was on. i understand jumping at the chance to rip on dunst when you can (god yes) but eh... stretching facts a bit, my friend.
This movie sucked. It was actually painful to sit through... thank god my friends are as snarky as I am. I don't know how you can take something like the French Revolution and make it boring. The whole thing was just one endless montage. Vapid is absolutely the word I used to desribe it when leaving the theatre... these critics are spot on.
the scenery and costumes were beautiful. and It had potential. but then 15 mins into the movie that potential got put into a concentration camp and left to starve to death.
From my perspective at least the promotional material has been a suckfest. The trailer is a steaming pile of crap and since period dramas aren't really my cup of tea, it needs a trailer of SoaP proportions to get me to watch it.
Whoa...some people have no idea what good filmmaking is. Lost in Translation was amazing, hence all the awards it won: Oscar - BEST WRITING, SCREENPLAY WRITTEN DIRECTLY FOR THE SCREEN: Sofia Coppola
Nominated for Best Picture by the Academy that year
CFCA for Best Actor, Best Cinematography, and Best Screenplay
Cesar Awards, France - Best Foreign Film
Won 3 Golden Globes - Best Motion Picture, Best Actor, Best Screenplay
Independent Spirit Awards - Best Director, Best Feature, Best Male Lead, Best Screenplay
Seattle Film Critics Awards - Best Actor, Best Director, Best Screenplay
And those are just the ones that were won, not all the nominations.
Hm, weird. But I'm sure all of you guys know what you're talking about.
ovbiously you know nothing about film if you're going to dis MA and Lost in Translation and then give props to Spiderman and Interview with the Vampire.
Um, for all you pseudo-sophisticates talking about how amazing this film is and dissing anyone that dares to differ, the French audience at Cannes booed it.
And don't give me that crap about it being because she was an American actress portraying MA. MA was Austrian. KD has a similar background. They booed because it sucked.
And it doesn't get more psuedo-sophisticate than a film audience at Cannes.
Of course the film would be vapid it is based on the woman who's picture should be next to the word in the dictionary. There was a reason the citizens beheaded her.
I still can't figure out how Dunst is famous. As far as I know, she isn't related to anybody famous, so she must suck a hell of a lot of cock or something to keep getting in films.

"Looks awful, but I will still see it. Why? Because Rose Byrne is the SECOND HOTTEST WOMAN ALIVE! Next to Emmy Rossum, of course."
They both have the same look, that cute/pretty look (I'd imagine you'd like Rachel McAdams too) but JENNA JAMESON IS THE HOTTEST WOMAN EVER!
I thought LiT was a little boring but I could relate to Murray's character (and the kiss at the end was breathtaking). Otherwise, it was mediocre like Garden State...actually, Garden State was very mediocre. Yeah, I'm a suker for those artsy, "mature" dramas you're "supposed" to like. Portman and Johansson are both great though.
So, the real reason I think this movie sucked is because Marie Antoinette is not exactly a historical figure that deserves to be recognized, thats why she was beheaded. Second, she doesnt need to be made into someone that we should feel sorry for which I think the movie portrays. Third, I really can't stand how the fashion whores are jumping onto the Marie bandwaggon. Give me a break. Those stupid fashoin mags and bithcy rich bitches thinkin its a trend girlfriend.
this movie sucks because it gives Marie a good impression, if so then why the beheading? I am sick of stupid rich bitches and fashionistas making this period into a new trend. Marie A was a BITCH.

Maybe you should read what he actually said and not what you think he said.
Hmmm...Todd, there seems to be a semi-hostile vibe...you being called a "vapid idiot" and all....how are you liking your new and somewhat vapid readers??
lost in translation is awesome. anyone who doesn't like it needs to stick to mission: impossible movies because obviously they just want a bunch of action. don't criticize something you don't understand or if it's in a genre you don't like.
it's not like i'm into boring movies either.. i tried watching that other serious movie bill murray did and got bored, didn't finish it. THAT was boring. but lost in translation rules, jackasses.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away... okay, about 5-6 years ago...
Dunst was actually pretty hawt. Remember her spread in Maxim? Not bad. Then she lost the little weight she had, and now she just looks like a crack whore.
"I saw the first ten minutes of Lost in Translation, and the next thing I remember was waking up six months later and a doctor telling my mother it was a miracle."
LMAO! I couldn't agree more, I've never enjoyed her films and don't get the hype regarding lost in translation.
oh please and for all those who think that just because you don't enjoy lost in translation you should be watching action films - get a life and some discerning taste, just because you liked some extistentialist piece of shit movie doesn't actually mean it was good. Scarlett Johansson is a terrible actor, and so Dunst.

October 23, 2006 10:41 PM
Here here - I saw "Girl With A Pearl Earring" which could be called Mills & Boon go to the movies and bore you stupid. Scarlett has one expression, and no acting abilities at all. Even in 'Entourage' she looks and sounds like she's reading the lines off an autocue.
Dunst was ok in 'Eternal Sunshine', and 'Dick' and 'Drop Dead Gorgeous'.
LMAO, gotta love the assholes claiming that anyone who doesn't like Lost In Translation is vapid. Get over yourselves, you pretentious cunts. Sorry, but claiming to enjoy "Lost In Translation" won't help you nail a job interview, and it probably won't get you laid...so give it up. Nobody is impressed.
i love how the film snobs who defend lost in translation say some people "just dont get it" as if they are intellectually above everyone else. there was nothing "to get" in the film.
Hmm, let's focus on negative reviews from such notable publications as "Review Express" and "Montreal Journal" and ignore four-star reviews from the Washington Post, the Chicago Sun-Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Philadelphia Inquirer, the New York Post, Entertainment Weekly, The New York Times, Salon.com, Premiere...
I saw it. I liked it. I freaking HATED Lost in Translation- bored the ever lovin shit out of me. Never quite got on that bandwagon. But I LOVED The Virgin Suicides. SO I gave it a shot-
Yes, Kiki has Chiclet teeth. BUT- the film is really good. If you watch it from a feminist perspective, it is excellent. The costumes were brilliant! Not as much 80's music as has been hyped- only like 3 parts... best words to describe the film: opulent, decadent, lush.
And Kiki doesn't really get on yoru nerves because there is so much to look at you can avoid her chiclet teeth.
Did you forget The Virgin Suicides, a Sofia Coppola movie with Kirsten Dunst?! That was a random hit, otherwise Kiki sucks ass as an actress. Maybe she tries too hard, like Sofia does...hell, at least Sofia didn't decide to act in this one like The Godfather III!
I just love how people are supposed to be talking about the movie but end up talking about Kirsten't teeth...come on people, think with something OTHER then your penis for a change.
Thank you. One of the best movies this Harvard cum laude grad had seen up to that point. It was really nice to be interested in what I was watching on the screen. I honestly hadn't been that mentally engaged cinematically in ages and it was very cool.
this movie was different and cool. too bad these fat old critics didnt like it. but some of the french critics thought it was original and the nypost loved it.kirsten is a great actress with much potential.
October 24, 2006 10:03 AM - Um, "cum laude" means a C average. Around 60%+ of the graduating class at Harvard get that. Nothing to toot your horn about.
LiT sucked dick. Virgin Suicides was better, but still no Billy Wilder. Unless all of you LiT lovers are in film school and can drop obscure director with the best of them, I have no idea why you'd love such a boring fucking movie, that at its core, was just about how Spike Jonze just doesn't understand Sofia Coppola. Or maybe I'm speaking over your heads. Go watch a real art movie, you conformist fucks.
Uh, yeah, settle down there, roman, milos, douchebag, whatever. Go put some more gel in your hair and work on your patented "I hate conformists" skulk to impress the goth girl at the food court.
the hollywoood critics loved LOST because they needed to do something to cover up the terrible embarrasment of this no talent debutante... ...don't talk to me about any of your modern pop crap movies, or your no talent actors (pitt, jolie, johanssen, dunst, etc, etc, etc ,etc, etc)- you will never see any of them on the AFI top lists, because they are nothing but post modern pop candy crap!
i saw the movie last weekend and it actually was one of the more intelligent & politically astute movies i've seen in a while. and definitely better than the vast majority of tripe to come out of hollywood, but our spoon-fed culture is too dense to even see the forest for the trees (kinda like the characters in coppolla's movie).
This was easily one of the worst films I have ever seen in my life. Lost in Translation sucks, too. Geez, has SC ever seen any films? Geez, has she ever seen any of her dad's films?
Let's put it this way, with all the money and talent she can have around her, she should have very high expectations for herself and direct something that won't let down half the audience.
People were groaning and walking out of the theater where I saw it. If it was suh a great film then how come not everyone agrees it's great? Everyone agrees the Godfather is great. Same with Star Wars. West Side Story. Wizard of Oz. HELP! Lord of the Rings. Heavenly Creatures. Fast Times at Ridgemenot High. The Breakfast Club. Closet Land. Thirteen.
SC sucks. Her films suck. She cna't direct. She can't write.
Where was the character development? For crying out lihyd this film was supposed to take place over 34 years!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unless all of you LiT lovers are in film school and can drop obscure director with the best of them, I have no idea why you'd love such a boring fucking movie, that at its core, was just about how Spike Jonze just doesn't understand Sofia Coppola. Or maybe I'm speaking over your heads. Go watch a real art movie, you conformist fucks.

Uh, yeah, settle down there, roman, milos, douchebag, whatever. Go put some more gel in your hair and work on your patented "I hate conformists" skulk to impress the goth girl at the food court.

the hollywoood critics loved LOST because they needed to do something to cover up the terrible embarrasment of this no talent debutante...
...don't talk to me about any of your modern pop crap movies, or your no talent actors (pitt, jolie, johanssen, dunst, etc, etc, etc ,etc, etc)- you will never see any of them on the AFI top lists, because they are nothing but post modern pop candy crap!

i saw the movie last weekend and it actually was one of the more intelligent & politically astute movies i've seen in a while. and definitely better than the vast majority of tripe to come out of hollywood, but our spoon-fed culture is too dense to even see the forest for the trees (kinda like the characters in coppolla's movie).

Can it, professor. There's no tits or explosions in this movie, that's all anyone needs to know.

This was easily one of the worst films I have ever seen in my life. Lost in Translation sucks, too. Geez, has SC ever seen any films? Geez, has she ever seen any of her dad's films?
Let's put it this way, with all the money and talent she can have around her, she should have very high expectations for herself and direct something that won't let down half the audience.
People were groaning and walking out of the theater where I saw it. If it was suh a great film then how come not everyone agrees it's great? Everyone agrees the Godfather is great. Same with Star Wars. West Side Story. Wizard of Oz. HELP! Lord of the Rings. Heavenly Creatures. Fast Times at Ridgemenot High. The Breakfast Club. Closet Land. Thirteen.
SC sucks. Her films suck. She cna't direct. She can't write.
Where was the character development? For crying out lihyd this film was supposed to take place over 34 years!!!!!!!!!!!!
