Friend up in northern Hokkaido, 30 minutes drive from the nearest large village. Very remote up there from the looks of things, not too many mountains either which surprised me.

2 and 3 better than 1.
I thought Torchwood was pretty good, liked that.
The next one should be better as well.
Davros boxset sounds ace.

The God Delusion
Richard Dawkins basically saying the belief system is rubbish and a delusion. Interesting.

Rambo. Surprisingly good.

Anyone here use ETC on the expressways? Do you end up saving? I want to know if it is worth getting it (from others people on here experience) for my car.
Thanks

My Heart Will Go On, from Titanic.
Go on!

I had a great time going up there. It wasn't actually too busy on the day we went - the forecast was for not the best weather I think that was the reason but it turned out to be glorious. Great views from the top and nice and cool from the summer sweaty weather down below. I'm glad I did it.

I think Rusustsu is not too far away on the other side of Yotei. That would surely be one day.

Good for you. Still can't buy them here, always sold out. PS3s all over the place.
Are there any decent new Wii games in the last few months?

28 Days Later was really good, I enjoyed that. Guess what? There's a sequel, 28 Weeks Later.

Thats too bad to hear.
What a poor season it has been.
I'm done for the season I think with a maginificent, well, I'm not going to say. Very small number.
Oh well, next one will be GOOD.

Well worth it. This year I hear things weren't as good as usual but when I went it was really great.

Inland Empire, the new David Lynch.

Previous coverage by other channels.Quote:What do you reckon is driving this story and the crews to Hakuba?

"There were 12 - twelve! the main reporters + the talent and commentators - people lined up in front of their desks and all standing there looking very proper with their hands in front of them"
Similar to that one.
Ads where more than a few people say the catchline all at the same time. Often accommpanied by a clenching of fist or some other naff looking action representing the gambaru spirit.

Region free DVD player. What a godsend, and dvds from the US are so cheap.

Not just Oz mate.
Japan is just rather different in that way.

I'm looking forward to the next Bond movie. I hear it is getting the go treatment already and will be out in 08. I loved Casino Royale and hope they continue with the same kind of thing. Perhaps slighly more "Bond elements" (lasers) might be good, just as long as it doesn't go 'invisible car' over the top.

Nihon Jinbotsu or whatever it's called - the disaster movie where Japan gets destroyed by volcanoes and earthquakes and 1 member of Smap saves the day.

I know of a company that is still owed quite a lot by Arai. The most recent news they have had is that there will be a further decision as to what is paid to who in December.

Is she human?
That "lifelike" Japanese robot doll on the news last night looked much more human.

The snow there is often surprisingly good. For some reason it gets good quality, which might not seem obvious given its location to the north of Chiba. Some of my Japanese friends go 5 or 6 times a season from Tokyo.
