But I did think it was good. I felt it was of course, about the journey, not the destination. The vignettes that Murray's character were involved in ALL had something exceptional about them that for spoilers sake I won't mention. These made the film definitely worthwhile. In a small way, I was reminded somewhat of John Cusack's character in High Fidelity revisiting his old flames trying to understand what had happened to ruin his relationshiops with them.I agree with your warning that non fans of Lost In Translation should take cover and hide til this one leaves the art houses. They'll miss a nice little film IMHO.
Oh yea, I loved the energy "Winston" brought to the screen in every scene he was in.

I think yer onto something. Winston WAS the perfect supporting actor in evey sense of the word. wasn't he? Often a supporting actor/actress is equally dominant in the film as the nominal lead actor/ess. He actually was Don's supporting friend who appeared and reappeared at critical moments in the show and gave Don the impetus to continue forward in his quest. Based on reflection, I'm hiking my rating from **1/2 to ***.
