Lost in Translation

An amazing film written and directed by Sofia Coppola and starring Scarlett Johansson and Bill Murray.

It's about two people who are visiting Japan and who feel lost in life. Their chance meeting leads to a touching and intimate friendship and the film follows their attemts to find themselves in a strangely familiar and beautiful yet alien and bewildering environment.

The film is shot beautifully and the music combines with amazing shots of Tokyo to produce an incredibly moving film.

Transition Metal

A Transition Metal is an element from the D block of the periodic table which forms at least one ion with an incomplete d sub–shell containing at least one electron.

Used ambiguously by the WJEC to annoy students, especially Sam Jones.
Sam: 'Hey Alex, what's a transition metal?'

Alex: 'It's a D block element that forms ions with incomplete d orbitals.'

Sam 'Yeah, but the WJEC aren't really clear on their definition. It's causing a lot of confusion.'

Alex: 'That's exactly the type of shit those cunts would do!'

Transnationalism

When you are born (and shamed since your inception) one nationality, but you like the food and culture of another, such as Italian, so you take on the mannerisms of another and decide to mimic them as a lifestyle.
"Man, I'm fucking Canadian and the only cuisine we have is poutine. I am SO into transnationalism. I renounce my culture, I rebuke my upbringing and I bring shame upon my house. I want and need to be.......Italian."
