Heading west tomorrow for a circuitous trip around the corners of the country ( sort of). Back to the desktop in about a week. Laptops and electronics galore with me-but there is work also-so posting is as it is.
There is a new movie in Japan that opened this weekend-“My darling is a foreigner” (daringu wa gaikokujin). Here is a teaser trailer for the movie ( with translations of the Japanese narrative).
According to Japan Probe: the movie sucks with a capital “S”. According to Japan Probe,
” reviews by Ken Y-N at What Japan Thinks and a reader of MutantFrog warn that the film is pretty crappy. Apparently it is a cheaply produced filmed full of bad acting and painfully obvious product placement. It also seems to be set in a fantasy world where no Japanese person ever uses the word “gaijin.” “
