    I finally found a worthy contender for the worst movie I watched in 2024, currently held by Black Widow.

    SING "YESTERDAY" FOR ME

    ★★

    Sigh.

    I'm generally a big fan of Seinens ever since The Pet Girl of Sakurasou, so I really wanted to like this. I did for a while, then I didn't.

    I could see where they were heading with the show - the kind of atmosphere they were trying to create, the themes they were trying to explore, the blend of coming-of-age and romance show it was meant to be - but the overall execution was fairly poor.

    Lost in Translation

    ★½

    I may have just watched Midsommar yesterday but true horror is the age gap between Scarlett Johansson and Bill Murray.

    Oh, you're visiting Japan for a week and you're upset about not understanding the people around you? Maybe learn some phrases? Go cry about it.

    Also, since saying xenophobic things wasn't enough, they cheated on their spouses too.

    If it wasn't for how fascinating Tokyo and its people are, I probably wouldn't have finished this movie. I had little interest in the characters, but I did enjoy their adventures around this lovely city.

    P/S: Bill Murray was 53. ScarJo was 19. One-nine. Who approved this casting?
