It's 3 months. The PS4 will do well in Japan, but it won't do as well as it could have and this whole situation is only exacerbating Sony's already tenuous relationship with Japanese consumers. I'm talking bigger picture here; people will remember this kind of thing when they decide what TVs or digital cameras or cell…

It's understandable what Microsoft is doing. I mean, this has never been a big market for them. What Sony has done, on the other hand, is a betrayal.

That wasn't Mima's mother! That was her manager. Go back and rewatch Perfect Blue. There's nothing in the movie to indicate that Rumi was Mima's mother. Hell, Mima even has a conversation with her mother on the phone and it's clear that she's talking to another person entirely.

The Day After, of course! And there's no "tomorrow" in the title. I'm talking about the 1982 nuclear war movie.

Nobody in Japan ends a phone call with "sayonara." That would be like saying "farewell" in English. If it's a polite/business call, you would say "shitsurei shimasu/shimashita," which is an apology for taking the other person's time and/or for hanging up the phone. If it's a private/friendly call, you would just say,…

Wait, so you don't even need to be a UK or Commonwealth citizen to take the UK bar exam?

Magic: the Gathering was pretty good until they started releasing new sets and then completely changing the rules every 6 months so that you could no longer even use all of your old cards.

How can you put somebody on a list if you don’t care about them?

Either put some time and thought into the story, or just do away with the story entirely. Far Cry 3 is the only game I can think of that would have been better with no story at all than the story we got.

Are you kidding me? Norwegian Wood was a horrible bastardization of Murakami's novel that cut out the most important parts of the book.

Wait, he ripped up the porno magazine and drove it to the dump? Is he also trying to ban fire or something?

Grr! Still no Snow Crash!

I live in Japan, and one thing that ruins it for me is when girls say that they like "foreign guys" and then can't really elaborate on why or even what country.

How about the Will Smith/Gene Hackman documentary, "Enemy of the State?" That came out years ago.

Where the hell are the Metropolitan Police?

Call me a film snob, but wouldn't it be easier to just ask, "What movies succeeded at the box office that were actually, genuinely good movies?" That'd be a shorter list.

I don't see why this has to be a British or American thing. There are regional differences in expressions even within countries. Which brings me to a much more important point: it is "soda," not "pop!"

Oh, right, in this magical "what if" scenario, you're allowed to sell the licenses for the games you "own." Because the publisher has every incentive to let you do that. Because then they can make money. Money that they wouldn't have been able to make if they had simply not allowed people to sell their licenses and…

Metal detecting will pay off...eventually.

It is pretty awkward to have a family member owe you a lot of money and know that they would pay it back if they could, but...
