Feb 14, 2008 - is this where coppola's daughter sofia got the idea for the scene in lost in translation with bill murray drinking that suntory , 'suntory time'

fuckyourmamma Says:

Mar 8, 2008 - Yup, that inspired the scene. Sofia earned her filmmaking chops since birth. Remember the baby from Godfather!

Apr 10, 2008 - indeed, much much much better.

ohworldgirl Says:

Apr 15, 2008 - VIVA Kurosawa!!!!! And yes, this is where Sophia Coppola got the idea for Suntory time! -in Lost in Translation.(I also believe her shots of the sun in the trees is a homage to AK because he was known for pretty much starting that style of filming in Roshomon)

Apr 29, 2008 - These are great; I especially love the cheesy dubbed sound effects! Where did you find this, as an extra on a Kagemusha DVD?

Jun 3, 2008 - He is one of the best movie director ever. In my opinion the best of them all.

Aug 5, 2008 - There is actually a Suntory whiskey? I heard it was made up? If these is such a thing, then is it still in existance? that would be cool to get a bottle of this whiskey. "For relaxing times, . . . Make it Suntory Time!

Aug 17, 2008 - Suntory Yamazaki is a very nice Scotch. The 12yr is rated at 93 point and the 18yr at 97 points. The 18yr will run you about $100-150 a bottle depending on where you get it.

drewstar412 Says:

Aug 17, 2008 - Sperryboy, you ROCK! Can you get it in the United States? Hmm, I will keep an eye out for it, at the the places that will have the best variety of alcohol. That Scotch is a must have for me and is on my Xmas list. Thanks for the response. I am on the hunt! Thanks Again!

sperryboy Says:

Aug 17, 2008 - You're welcome, man. I know you can get the Suntory Yamazaki 12yr and 18yr in the US. They also have a 25yr, a bunch of lower quality whiskeys and some beers. One the website you can search for local distributors. YouTube won't let you post websites, so I'll modify it for you.suntorycom/yamazakiHope you get some for Christmas :)

drewstar412 Says:

Aug 18, 2008 - Dude, you ROCK once again! I use to drink Hennessey and wish I could try Suntory! Thanks for letting me know about the different ages of Scotch. I think I may have to go with the high priced Scotch, but I am an equal opportunity drinker! I am more of a whiskey guy, but just to have a bottle of Scotch, the 12yr or 18yr, that would be the best.Thanks Again! :-)

sperryboy Says:

Sep 16, 2008 - Okay drewstar, I bought a bottle of the Yamazaki 12 year a week ago and I love it! I was looking for the 18 year, but couldn't find it. The 12 yr is full of honey and apricot, a mild, smooth smokey finish with a bit of caramel. Really enjoyable and easy drink. The 12yr was $37.Today I found a single bottle of the 18yr at a local liquor store and I'm going back to buy it tomorrow. The price is $102. I'm pretty pumped about this new find.

drewstar412 Says:

Sep 16, 2008 - That is fantastic news! Sounds good!I have a buddy who is looking for a couple of bottles here in town. In his area, he should be able to find it, but he has not gotten back to me. That sounds cheap for the 12 yr bottle. That you for telling me this info! It is real after all! I am getting thirsty now! That is awesome!
