From the
I Read Everything At This 'Site And Now Wish to Contribute Dept:
Oh, yeah . . . that's right . . . I saw two films starring Tadanobu Asano AND ya'll's favorite, Odagiri Joe (w/that damn smirk on his face) on the big screen at the recent
Hawai'i International Film Festival. Those films are
Bright Future (

Last Life in the Universe, which is in Japanese AND Thailand languages (
http://hiff.fluxismedia.com/2004spring/movie_description.php?movie_id=9). What "J-boy factor" (which I MUST'VE entirely missed as I would've mentioned me seeing these APRIL 2004 films awhile ago, obviously)? These really good sci-fi type films.
And Joe Odagiri and Tadanobu Asano WERE BOTH THERE TO PRESENT THE FILM!!!
BWWAHAHAHAHHAHA, just kidding about Joe and Tadanobu being there, bWWWWAAAAAAA, gotcha'! Seriously, though . . . I'm glad to have seen such films at a theatre setting. Thing I CAN tell ya'lls is that, geez, whenever Tadanobu would "grace" the screen in
Last Life . . . I could essentially HEAR the breaking of hearts of those gals in the audience who'd never known a Tadanobu Asano until that time. BEST believe they got a new idol boy other than Orlando B., et. al.
