Memoirs Of A Geisha
Oooh one of my all time favourite books - the film opens in cinemas over here this weekend. Am almost scared to see it in case they don't do it justice on the big screen! Has anyone seen it?

It looks good to me but I don't think I could get my husband or teenaged sons to go with me. Maybe some girlfriends! Had to edit because Genie walked across the keyboard and hit enter too soon!

I adored the book, so I will probably see the movie, as well. I can just imagine how beautiful the costumes must be.

Lyndl, I DO get mad when a non-Southerner plays a Southerner, with a fake accent. They cobble together pronounciations from all over, and just make stuff up. I guess it's just as bad when someone...

Somewhere in this thread I realized that if I could hear each of you speak - I would hear an accent - and in my head you all sound just like me!

I saw the movie, read the book and now am listening to it on tape! Loved it in all phases, have always been fasinated by geisha culture. I think it started with Shiirly Maclaine plying in "My Geisha"
