Mar. 8th, 2008 11:51 pmBecause it can't be Prince of Tennis all the time: ( The Jane Austen Book Club )
( Tokyo Godfathers )
( The Golden Compass )
And speaking of Narnia, there was a preview for Prince Caspian, which I feel I ought to go see, if only to encourage fantasy films. After all, Prince Caspian was always my second-least favourite of the books, after The Silver Chair, and I wasn't all that impressed with the first movie.
And speaking of previews, one was for a Japanese film called Sushi Ouji -- it's the Prince of Sushi! The preview was actually pretty funny, and it seems it's based on a tv series, and not a manga or anime, as I'd assumed. I think I'll have to track that down, it looks completely insane.
After the movie, we went out to eat. None of us really knew any places in Shinjuku, and one of the other girls isn't too fond of Japanese food, so we decided to go to an Italian place in Harajuku, which is only a couple of train stops away. It was 5 o'clock, and we figured we'd have the place to ourselves, since the dinner rush only starts around 7, here. Well, when we got there, we found that the entire restaurant had been reserved for a reception, so one of the girls suggested a nearby pizza place she liked. On the way there, we joked that if it were also reserved, we'd have to settle for crêpes.
Wouldn't you know it? It WAS reserved! We couldn't believe it. Strike two! We ended up walking to Shibuya to go to Outback, because surely, they wouldn't also be reserved? They weren't, though we had to wait a little while for a non-smoking table. We split an onion bloom (huge! greasy! delicious! but I won't feel the need to eat another one for years!) and nachos (which we didn't even manage to finish) three ways, and I split a salad with one of the girls, and I still felt overly stuffed. Ah, how I've grown used to Japanese serving sizes, so much more reasonable!
One last thing, today I used the JR Shinjuku station's South exit! *hums along with Nagayama Takashi*
I'll post my reviews of the two Prince of Tennis movies later, as I've got lots of screencaps for those. Stay tuned for Live Action Impossible Tennis and Ryouma's Symbolic Orange!
