Joy Luck Club Producers Consider Amy Chua/Tiger Mom Movie

Oh my God, my God: Hell NOOO.  Oh my God.  Oh my God.  And the Joy Luck Club producers…I’ve seen what they can do, and oh man, I think I’m having an allergic attack…

I’m speechless. I want to continue the discussion about Martin Jacques brilliant TED presentation, but this has to go to the top temporarily just to warn you Asian people that once again, look out. We’ll bump this post back down later, maybe for the weekend…but y’all need warning.

Never Let Me Go, in theaters Sept. 15

a) This movie looks okay.
b) The novel was amazing.
c) I was going to write a review of the book, talk about the writer Kazuo Ishiguro’s ungodly skill at storytelling, marvel about the way he jumps into characters in unique situations, become jealous at the way he can write as if almost a stream of consciousness even though every piece falls into place to create a tight story, and talk about the uniqueness and wonders of the characters themselves, but I couldn’t write up anything in a timely fashion that would do justice to this book.
d) The book is awesome, probably MUCH better than the movie, but if you don’t have time for the book, check out the movie.
