Ground Hogs Day...

Public forum guys....Open book...So I must share things keeping in mind of the universal audience (and my dear censor board members, ha..ha).

Recently watched movies: Ground hogs day. I know this movie was released few years ago..but, hey this was first time for me. Good making. I also enjoyed today Charlie rose's interview session of the director of 'Memoirs of Geisha'- Rob Marshall. This guy was sharing his experience of making the movie, managing an international cast (from china, Japan, U.S. and some other countries). How director has to co-ordinate himself between what interpreters had been saying of others and what his (Rob's) gut feelings was asking to comprehend.
Also, Rom mentioned that how folly it is when some poeple perceive the word 'Giesha' as a synnonym for 'Japansese sex worker'. Geisha is not that, it is more than that, I should have said beyond that. They were the icons of Japanse art and aesthetics at a time and they all went through rigorous trainings (sometimes about 19/20 hours a day for months at a stretch..) to master all the major branches of Japanse fine arts.
How ever, I was amazed to read the full text of Nobel Laureate Harold Pinters' Prize Lecture. You guys should read it too!
Good Night.
