"As I grew up in a privileged family, my own management of assets has been extremely sloppy. I feel terribly bad about it."

Translation: "Since I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth, I know Jack about taking care of my own money. Doh!"

In case somebody really wants an honest answer, SMAP stands for "Sports Music Assemble People" in very Japanese-sounding weird English. Don't ask me what "assemble people" means. They are better cooks than they are singers, that's for damn sure.

TBS did call Mr. Hawker and asked him, idiotically, "Have you talked to other people about this?" And he replied, "No, because I am talking to you right now on the phone." Not only disgraceful but at least they could have thought up some better questions.

It's lucky that we are not living in Tokyo circa 1994. It really was Toxic Smoke City back then.

"Jackie Brown" was cool and likable, thanks to Samuel L. Jackson mainly. He also saves "Pulp Fiction" from being a self-indulgent mess. But Tarentino lost me with the "Kill Bill" flicks. Maybe it's not so much that Tarentino films are so good; most Sam Jackson films tend to be good…

"Best Formalist". Didn't know she was into deep existential philosophy.

Yeah, very shocking about the Hitler comparison. But what's even more shocking is that the media in Japan doesn't see anything particularly shocking about it.

Yup. It helps to have a good knowledge of Espanol since the film mainly takes place in Spain. Otherwise you'd better brush up on your kanji.
