Last Free-Post Before Discussion #1

Hello All!

Today is T-minus 1 day until the official "kick-off" of our discussion of Memoirs of a Geisha.

Having just finished watching the film version, while considering the ways in which the story was compacted and altered in order to bring it to life on the screen. . .without my butt going numb. . .I really do want to focus on that. But I'll post a more complete thought tomorrow.

In addition, because my enjoyment of both tellings of Memoirs has not diminished, it might inspire my viewing of Rob Marshall's translation of the incredibly minimalist stage show Chicago to the silver screen; I'm mad about the stage show, having seen it twice, but have not yet seen the film version.

Hope you enjoy it!
