BILLY V2.0 · Thu May 04, 2006 10:45 am Lost in Translation

Bit old, but I've had it on DVD for months and got around to watching it on a bored afternoon yesterday. I think its fantastic, but I'm not sure why. Nothing really happens and there isn't even a storyline as such, but its just all so melancholic and peaceful, and Scarlett Johansson is just so nice. I sort of cried a bit at the end (not gay) for some reason.

Anyone else like it, or am I a queer?

I saw it on the back of a seat in a plane on the way to America. Ok, I like Bill Murray but I found it boring. Its impossible to watch a film on a plane anyway, and I travelled Club Class.

Yeah, I'm going to the airport in about 6 hours. There best be something decent on the telly, as I've got a 28 hour fucking flight.

He's coming home, hes coming home, he's coming

BILLY'S COMING HOME!

So many jokes, so many sneers,
But all those oh so nears,
Wear you down,
Through the years,
But I still see that tackle by Bonce,
And when Talbot scored,
Chappo belting the ball,
And Lanky dancing

How you gonna celebrate bill? hire a couple of hookers then onto a club? Or watch shit eating nuns. It's a close call, i dont know which way its gonna go.

Knowing Billy I expect he'll probably be "dipping his wick" before he lands.

:wink:

Turtlebonce · Fri May 05, 2006 6:52 pm

his candle'll be dripping

RChappo · Fri May 05, 2006 7:11 pm

he'll be melting the hearts of the stewardesses.

don't tell me about air-stewardessesses (how many s's?) one dropped a hot wipe on my lap so I made her tweezer it up again.

Come home Billy bird, international business traveller.

It sort of applies.

Lost In Translation is obviously brilliant and infact, I've started deciding on who I like based on if they thought it was shit because nothing happened or if they loved it because nothing happened. You're either with me, or against me.

Yeah, I just really really loved it. I'm sitting in Hong Kong airport now just using the internet for free, having done a poo on a toilet that flushes itself when you've finished, and I'm bloody loving the whole Asian culture vibe thing they've got going on. I had some lovely noodles and asian pork (leave it) on the first flight. The telly was great as well. Saw Mulholland Drive, Being John Malkovich, loads of eps of the american office, raymond, english office, my family (it was a long flight) louix theroux's visit to a brothel. they had some soft porn on there as well!

the amount of pretty asians here are ridiculous. i keep seeing grotesque white blokes hugging asians that look about 12. i actually envy them. this keyboard is absolutely mental, theres about 8 symbols per key.

i've got a 6 hour wait now until me 2nd flight but i dont mind that much. its bigger than gatwick village here. i twatted up the exchanging of money about 8 times so i've got loads of shrapnel from different countries now.

the couple meant to be next to me were a no show, so i had 3 bloody seats to meself! lovely stuff. probably wont be so lucky on my 2nd flight, but its british airways and my auntie works for them, so she stuck a note in to try and get me upgraded if poss. i think you just get a cushion or something, but it all counts.

i'm so tempted to have a wank in the toilet here, but theres loads of security guards with machine guns and anime hairstyles. they wouldn't shoot a westerner would they? i've seen every episode of dragonball z!

Dananiel · Sat May 06, 2006 12:39 pm

Ahhhhh Dragonball Z! Bad memories.

On the subject of relieving ones self in public, don't bother. I attempted it in a hospital toilet once to calm myself before a head scan and they called my name over the speaker system mid pleasure-thon. But it's alright, I've found a way to conceal an erection instantly if needed. You simply pull it up and put it under your belt/jeans weist or whatever. It looks like you've got no cock but it does the trick.
