  Either that or his next movie is about prison in Japan?

  Then he can just use it as an argument against the Japanese. "Look they're trying to censor me!"

  It will also gain his film even more international attention and it's pretty likely international pressure would see him set free almost immediately so he is probably hoping for such an outcome

  Ulisse....... I don't get it? What does any of that have to do with me making a reference to how the ghostbusters stomped around New York in the statue of liberty???

  If you think that what I said was disrespectful or ignorant, I'm sorry but I ask that you please have a quiet word with yourself if that's how you view it...

  is it fog or bad air quality?

  Just a lack of contrast due to the distance I would say

  What? Blame the fog for making the statue to appear like a ghost

  You haven't seen Ghostbusters, have you?

  How did they know he fell from the 14th floor?

  Perhaps someone saw him? Or the balcony is damaged?

  Why have they ruled out homicide?

  No evidence to support it I guess?

  Well, not in Okinawa. In here everyone gets it, not matter how poor

  I get the feeling most of the questioned women are based in Tokyo...

  Just had a look - white letters on a pale blue backroung makes the site unreadable

  If you think that's unreadable, I suggest a trip to an optometrist

  The site is definitely terrible though...

  Oh, and a big 'nice one' to Canon for including a dual-axis electronic level for both pitch and roll.... no excuse for poorly aligned landscape shots now!

  Which camera is better, Nikon or Canon?

  Please don't start that.... it only causes a stupid argument between rival fanboys hahaha!

  All of which means dirt if the lens that comes with the camera isn't worth jack

  Pretty sure the 7D will be packaged with the same 24-105L lens that the 5dmk2 has.... I use my 1.4 50mm lens 99% of the time though and always recommend that to people

  Why is she carrying such a precious violin while she is a "tourist on a trip"?

  Perhaps she was there to perform and the article is badly translated...

  Surely this is the 'Tokyo girls and pandas collection for 2009-2010'??

  I really hope that style doesn't catch on :-/

  I'm not sure why the author is so adamant about a 10mp camera... what's the point? The sensors are so small that the quality will be terrible if you take advantage of the 10mp printing sizes (well over A4 size!).

  I have never understood why people think a bigger number means a better picture... it simply isn't true and the iPhone's camera is better than most phone cameras out there

  However, as memyselfI said.... get a real camera if you want to take serious pictures!

  Plus they need time to translate the script.

  Nothing to do with that....a friend of mine translates movies out here and has scripts before filming has wrapped (later revisions are made due top alterations, reshoots and adlibs.... but 99% of the script translation is usually finalised well before release)
