I adore the movie Lost in Translation. The dry delivery of Bill Murray is just about as funny as you can get! Life Aquatic: masterpiece! I laugh even at the thought of both of these movies.
Naturally, when I saw the title “Lost in Translation” come up in my BBC news feed, I clicked on it.
Well it has nothing to do with Bill Murray, Japan, or hunting the Jaguar Shark (um, that is video of the REAL jaguar shark from NOAA), but with a tourism pamphlet mistranslated from Hebrew to English which states: “Jerusalem - there’s no such city!”
Oh the irony of Middle East politics make this mistake very amusing, in a way that would make Misah Bob Halis (Mr, Bob Harris, Bill�s character in Lost in Translation, please keep up) barely smirk. And, in case you are still lost, that is EXACTLY why this, and he, are so funny.
