yeah...Twilight Samurai is a great movie. It requires a degree of patience to watch though. It's pretty slowly paced which i loved, but other people i know had trouble sitting through all of it.
just got this dvd back from my friend who had borrowed it for quite a long time. i watched it again and it still cracks me up!
yeah, watched it 4 times before my trip to Japan in late May, couldn't get enough of it, and start memorizing a few lines, most notably, for relaxing times...make it...suntory times.
my friend and i kept saying that over and over while in Japan.

The first time that Charlotte sits down with Bob at the bar, Bob drinks almost all of his whiskey, but in the next shot it is nearly full again.

Sorry I meant to tell you that I got this info from the IMDb website. They have a whole list of 'goofs' from "Lost In Translation." They also have 'quotes' too.
Here are a few more goofs:
Continuity: When Charlotte first speaks to Bob in the hotel bar, the waiter brings her drink with part of the paper wrapper still on the straw. When she takes a drink in the next shot, the wrapper is gone, although she would not have had time to remove it.
Continuity: During the still photo shoot, the photographer asks Harris to pause so he can change films. The assistant can be seen sliding the lightproof cover into the film magazine on the back of the camera, and then immediately removing the sliding cover, all without actually changing films or magazines.
Continuity: Bob walks out of the hotel elevator wearing black shoes. Bt the time he gets to the other side of the street, he's, wearing multi-colored shoes.
Continuity: The pink flowers in Charlotte's room disappear when she is listening to the "soul searching" tape, but reappear later in the movie.
Continuity: In the karaoke room, a shot of Charlotte speaking shows the room number as 601. In the next shot, Charlotte is sitting outside the room, smoking, and Bill comes out of a door now showing 602 instead of 601.
Continuity: When Bob lays Charlotte on the bed after carrying her to her room, a few inches of stomach are visible between her sweater and skirt. When the camera cuts back to her, the sweater is pulled down and no skin is visible.
Continuity: When Bob first arrives at the hotel he has the first button or two undone on his shirt with no t-shirt visible. When we see him in the elevator moments later, a white t-shirt is visible under his shirt.
Continuity: After Charlotte injures her toe there is a shot of her sitting in the window. You can clearly see both of her feet including the toe that was injured (and later proved to be so bad that she needed to go to the hospital) but all toes look normal.
Continuity: When Charlotte listens to the "find yourself CD" she is looking at the front cover, which makes the back of the cover visible to the audience. When she turns the box around, the back cover that she's looking at is different than the one we just saw.
Crew or equipment visible: When Bob is sitting on the Hotel's bedroom bed, dressed in a green robe and white sleepers looking sad, you can see the cameraman and a woman reflected in the window, above his head.
Continuity: After the karaoke scene and they get back in a cab, the shot from outside the cab clearly shows an empty seat next to Charlotte. The next shot inside the cab shows a sleeping Bob Harris next to Charlotte.

If you found this movie boring with ugly actors. Here is a user's comment from the IMDb website that might help you see it differently:

Filmed in Tokyo, with Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson, one of the better movies I've seen in a while., 7 February 2004
Author: TxMike from Houston, Tx, USA, Earth
For anyone who wants a synopsis of this movie, the critics Ebert and Berardinelli have excellent, complete reviews of 'Lost in Translation', and they both give it their highest ratings.
My wife and I saw it tonight on DVD, with DTS 5.1 sound and both think it is a remarkable movie. I like Bill Murray in just about everything, and this will go down as one of his strongest performances, as Bob, the actor in Japan for a week doing whisky commercials. Scarlett Johansson plays Charlotte, the young wife virtually abandoned in the city to do her own thing as her photographer husband (Ribisi) goes to various locations for shoots.
What I liked most was the realistic feel. Being in a strange city, with unusual customs and a language you have no hope of understanding. Meeting someone who because of circumstances (age, marital status) will only ever be a friend. Being able to talk freely. Reflecting on where we've been and where we might be going. Many of the negative comments about this movie relate to an impression that it is 'boring.' I'll put on my 'maturity hat' and state that anyone who thinks 'Lost In Translation' is boring simply was not able, at least while they watched it, appreciate the inner beauty of this movie.
The scene that made the whole story come together for me was when they were in one of their hotel rooms (doesn't matter which), overhead shot, they were in bed talking, fully clothed, he is on his back staring at the ceiling, she is on her side, eyes probably closed, the tips of her feet barely touching the side of his leg, and he moves his hand and puts it on her feet. Then the scene fades to black. It is the kind of tender, non-sexual touch that tells us how close they have become, and that theirs is a relationship of mutual trust and admiration, not one of lust.
People like Bob and Charlotte really exist, and they really do meet up in very similar situations. After a week, they must go their separate ways, he to his family and activities of his kids, she to wait for her husband and figure out how to get out of the rut. We sense that he does not love her they way she needs, and we wonder what will happen.

PS. Enna's comment.....When did Scarlett Johansson become an ugly actor or actress?
