She was one of my favourite Bond girls from the 60s.
Gutted when they killed her character off.... No!!!
And the “pig faced” Mie Hama is a stunning beauty as well.
Who said she was pig-faced?
Thirdly, the screenwriter has been wise enough not to use Japan just as a meaningless background, but actually involve Bond in the foreign culture – for example Bond getting married to a Japanese girl.
Roald Dahl is the credited screenwriter, but most of his work was re-written.
You guys don't seriously think she's attractive? Total pig face. Obviously I'm talking from the context of a girl I'm never gonna meet so my standards are entirely different to real girls who I would/could meet. It annoys me a little if glamour girls don't have a good pair but in real life, I don't care.

I see, so because you're just looking at a photo she's a 'pigface', but if you met her in a club you'd bang her senseless. Got it.
I have never found Mie Hama attractive. Kumi Mizuno, yes. Akiko Wakabyashi, HELL yes. Just a matter of opinion, of course. To Bradavon's point, I would not turn down any of them, including now.
Italian giallo influenced by The Bird with the Crystal Plumage and features some shots very similar to Don't Look Now. I recognised the little girl from Deep Red, and the murdered woman from A Lizard in a Woman's Skin.
Quality Western, good movie and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would The dialogue is sometimes amusing. There was a good atmosphere but it was less violent than I thought it would be given the certificate.
I was meant to be seeing that tonight but should be on Monday now, I've never watched a Western before (apart from Shanghai Noon, hah) but the Coens are always good.
El Orfanto (or The Orphanage for anglo saxons/xenophobes) 4/5[/b]
Awesome ghost story (Spaniards/latin types have a knack for this don't they?) that demands attention from the viewer, and has a pervading creepy atmosphere through the course of the movie. (BRAD ALERT)Its paradoxically sad and strangely uplifting (BRAD ALERT) - is that a spoiler?

I've never really been a fan of Jeff Bridges. Not sure why. Somethink about himjust 'irks' me. I think he's very acceptable in certain roles, but that's pretty much as far as I go as to liking him.
I was there, the big BNB blackout of november, 2008. We lost many that day...
