Fantastic movie, Jez-san. Sofia Coppola nailed her second directorial effort. A film of ethereal beauty. Wonderful casting and performances. Great soundtrack.

I still trip out that we moved to Japan in the same year. 16 years is a long time.

I was going to go with Twighlight, but thought it was better to stay hidden in the crowd.

Donnie Darko, High Fidelity, Eternal Sunshine… couldn’t even get some of my favourite movies in my list.

Anyone who doesn’t have the dark knight as their top choice for 2008 can tongue my nuts
