My tooth hurts
If my tooth recovers from its pulsating farce that it's going through right now, I may manage to take advantage of the reserved seats I have for Memoirs of A Geisha in the Director's Lounge tonight.
Truth be told, the movie hasn't been getting the reaction I had hoped for the movie that boasts the first time Asian actors have filled all the lead roles in a Hollywood film. Although, reading Leigh Paatsch's review today in the Herald Sun 'Hit' Liftout, I was shocked and offended at his blatant belittling of the historical Japanese story. I don't think he was willing to understand the contradicting nature of Geisha life, between artform, tranquility and sexual prowess. So frustrating.
Mariah, Kanye West and John Legend are performing at the Grammy Awards. Pure perfection. There's a three-way possibility of a collaboration with Legend having worked with West, and West having worked with Carey on the stunning track 'Stay The Night' (which I would die to see performed live).

hmm hey dean y'know it's a film of a book written by a white harvard professor,
starring not a single japanese actress,
made in hollywood? ;)
so disliking the film isn't necessary disrespecting the historical significance of geishas in japanese culture!
