"On New Years Eve, I saw Memoirs of a Geisha."
I'm dying to see this movie. Missed it on the opening. It should show up in the secondary theaters (the cheap seats ones) shortly. Soon as it does, I'm going. Also plan on buying it when it comes out on DVD. Hope the DVD comes out soon. I read the book which was excellent.
Geisha was a lovely movie and I enjoyed the book also. I think I will also be getting the DVD. I know a lot on FRee Republic are anti movies/hollywood. I thought this year had a wonderful selection of movies and I go a couple times a week & see most of the ones that get 40% or better from Rotten Tomatoes.
The winners & losers are made at the box office... the various awards are gages of sorts of those who nominate & vote. The box office will always be the defining bottom line. I have always gotten a kick out of the awards shows and am a bit peeved at myself for sleeping thru last night. I think it was the first one I have missed - ever.
I am sure we miss good movies over the years that we never hear about. Promotion is impt.
