The first time I saw that film, I walked out of the theater feeling blown away, feeling trapped in this other world, spun for me by the direction, the writing, and the amazing performances of both the main characters. So much so that I ran across the street and bought the Soundtrack because I wanted to preserve that feeling of being in this other world, to lose myself in the story and make sure it never let go of me.
When we lost the movie at my theater after 6 or 7 weeks, I took home both posters we'd had-one of Scarlett Johansson with her Umbrella and the crowded Tokyo street in the background, the other Bill Murray sitting on his hotel room bed with the city skyline visible behind him-and the Standee with Peter Travers review, and the banner with both poster images on either side. Scarlett's poster is on my wall, now, right next to my Oceans Eleven poster, and every day I wake up, and look at that image, and get a little....heh.
I get a little Lost, again.
I'm glad it affected you-I didn't want to say anything because you've been talking about watching it, and I've actually devoted a fair amount of time to wondering what you would think. It seems to be one of those movies that people either "get", or they don't. I'm glad to see that you are the former.

Anyway, that's it from me.
