Just watched " Lost on Translation" on pay per view. Why all the hype ? Did not think it was Oscar caliber . I watched it & said Huh - Very dissapointing

THANK YOU Vicious. Saw the first LOTR movie once and vowed to never watch another one.

Never got into the idea of men running around the woods with one another, though I'm sure the prospect was most appealing to Sir Ian.

I fell asleep during the LOTR trailer.

Yeah...that told me that the show wasn't worth seeing.

Not my kinda stuff.

On the other side of the spectrum, though, I truly enjoyed Lost in Translation.

Sorry, Roxy.

Walked out halfway through the first installment of LOTR and never looked back. A new definition of borrrrrring.

I agree with Spiderman and Titanic. A Beautiful Mind was ok, but Best Picture? No way. Moulin Rouge was better.

Everytime friends of mine told me how bored they were with 11 Oscar Wins for "RETURN of the KING" I laughed wickedly & said "now you know how I felt the year TITANIC kept winning"

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali
