Pure serendipity that I finally decided to watch "Lost In Translation" for the first time, been in my queue for weeks, the same week that OpenAI decided to steal Scarlett Johansson's voice for their Her-inspired voice system. #movies #OpenAI

It premiered at a time when I had apartments in Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Chicago, and New York, and I awoke each morning wondering what city I was in. I very much identified.

I've stayed at the same hotel as is featured in this movie! The ASCII Corporation put us up there while we were part of various businessy negotiations. It's definitely as weird as the movie portrays it!

It looked like a neat hotel, assuming that the restaurant, bar, pools, etc. are all from that same location.

If I remember rightly, they are! They had huge emperor-sized beds, and their toilet/bathroom was the extreme of convenience! My favourite bit was that I could watch movies while in the bathtub!

The corporation was out to impress us, and impressed we were! However, things didn't go forward. Honestly, probably for the best.
