This is what happens when you let the dance instructor direct.

Sure, Rob Marshall may have won some cred for his direction on Chicago (which was uninspired dreck, but that's just me), but you just knew it was going to go to his head quickly enough. Enter his next gig, Memoirs of a Geisha, which has caused a furore in Japan because Marshall has filled the Japan-set film with Chinese cast members.

Hey, it's not like the important people fill be able to tell the difference, right Rob?

You know, this stuff really jacks my ass. Can you imagine if a Japanese director came to America to shoot Grapes of Wrath and decided to fill the cast with Australians and Englishmen? Can you just see the outrage on the faces of morons like Bill O'Reilly if anyone dared take Glory and do a remake featuring Russian actors?

It's just moronic, and even if the film is great, I'm going to be playing "spot the cultural and physical differences between the Japanese extras and Chinese leads" through the whole damn thing.

Bah, humbug.

Executives at the online gambling site Nine.com said red flags were raised by a large number of suspicious wagers against the marriage lasting -- all coming from areas where the couple had either lived in the past or currently reside, MTV.com reported Friday. Rather than lose a bundle to bets based on "insider information," the site canceled all wagers on the couple. (Link).

And lo and behold, the divorce was announced on exactly that day.
