Memoirs of a Geisha


Did Rob Marshall direct Chicago or Memoirs of a Geisha?

I loved, loved, loved, loved Chicago.

I was uninvolved at Geisha.

I would argue with anyone who says this movie is bad.

It's not bad on any level. It's just uninvolving.

Here was the big problem for me: It was never clear to me why I should care.

At one point i thought to myself, "I'm sitting here watching a bidding war over pussy." I don't care about who wins the right to fuck this virgin. Why should I care? Japan is about to go to war. Important things are happening in the world and I'm supposed to care about a bidding war over pussy.

"15,000 yen to fuck a virgin!" Not interesting.

Could Spielberg have made me care? I wonder.
