The book is one of my all time favorites. It's hard to believe that a white man wrote such a convincing story about geishas. It makes the movie less entertaining, though, because of course they butchered the story in Hollywood.
I watched Lethal Weapon 2 last night. I loved the movie, but I have to admit, Mel Gibson is starting to creep me out. Ranting about Jewish people while being arrested for driving drunk gives a whole new light to The Passion Of the Christ for me. Now I will never watch it. Although I will probably go see Apocalypto, because I saw the trailer months ago and it looked either really good or really awful. In any case, I'm too interested not to.
