Memoirs of a Geisha - Maggers - 09-16-2005
I'm one of the few people I know who HATED HATED HATED HATED "Memoirs of a Geisha." I read the whole damn thing and couldn't bear it. Read it for a book club, otherwise I would have tossed it. What I remember most is how the geisha's scalp got so itchy because she couldn't wash her ornate hairdo, smelly, too. Yewww.... I can't write a literate review because I read it years ago and deliberately wiped it from my memory banks.

Well, I saw the coming attraction for "Memoirs of a Geisha" in the theater this afternoon and was amazed. As much as I did not like the book, that's as much as I want to see the film. Though it cleaves to the book's story line, the images were so amazing and otherworldly, I felt more engaged by the trailer than I was by the entire book. I'm looking forward to the movie. For once, the movie will top the book for me...most likely. How about that!
