Sweeney, I'm not going to disparage you any - different strokes for different folks. It's kind of a shame though because there's a whole range of awesome cinema I can't recommend you now.
you can recommend me some stuff
not saying every drama is boring
not saying every romantic comedy or adam sandler film or every insert genre here film is boring
just saying that lost in translation was over 90+ boring-ass minutes of my life that i want back
I was thinking of the "90 minutes of talking without any action" type film. There's some brilliant films of that type - a lot of them based on theatre plays - and if you didn't like Lost In Translation it's likely you won't like them either.
For instance, I loved The Big Kahuna, which is Danny Devito, Kevin Spacey and Peter Facinelli in a room (okay, two rooms and a lift) for 90 minutes. Loads of drama, character development, etc. Not a single punch is thrown.
I'd recommend it to pretty much anyone, but I'm not sure you'd like it.

ooo i might actually like that
as long as it doesn't feel longer than it is like lost in translation that is
I know the whole Thor thing is only losely based on norse myth but still, I don't like the look of Asgard. Too clean, too... elven. It just doesn't look like something a viking would come up with.
You do realize elves were a huge part of Norse mythology, right? Tolkien didn't create them. Vikings did.

Yes but the Alfar did not, as far as I am aware, live in Asgard.
All I'm saying is they need to add snow and perfect undead warriors and I'm fine. :P

I would like to pause for a moment, to talk about my penis.
My penis is like a toddler. A toddler—who is a perfectly normal size for his age—on a long road trip to what he thinks is Disney World. My penis is excited because he hasn’t been to Disney World in a long, long time, but remembers a time when he used to go every day. So now the penis toddler is constantly fidgeting, whining “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? How about now? Now? How about... now?”
And Disney World is nowhere in sight.

In that case, check it out. It's a low-budget adaptation of a stage play about three salesmen trying to get hold of a big client. Kevin Spacey plays the asshole, Danny Devito plays the oldtimer and Peter Facinelli plays the newbie. That's it. It's very tight.
Who knows, maybe Lost In Translation was just really boring and there are other talkie films you'd enjoy.

Sweeney Tom it is a great film.
But be warned it is almost only talking.
With that in mind let me state again, it is great.
I've only seen a bit of Glengarry Glen Ross, but yeah, it's a lot like that. I think Kevin Spacey saw Alec Baldwin's part and thought to himself "I want to play an asshole too!"
The Marvel version of the norse gods is, obviously, inspired by the real thing. How closely they match is up to the individual writer I guess but it would appear for the movie they chose a somewhat distant version. Which I don't like very much because it conflicts with the stereotypical version.
Opinions, huh?

Thor throws the hammer once.
Hammering is imminent.
I don't want to come off as a defender of Adam Sandler films but your opinion is just wrong.
I don't know what type of action you are imagining (perhaps the Stallone variety) but generally Adam Sandler films have action in them.

it's not that i hate films with almost talking
it's just that if they're completely like lost in translation i may hate it
because that is the only film i've seen with all talking
because i'm a man and love action films
but shit if that film has Pacino i know i'm gonna see it
