she made bad look good

Memoirs Of A Geisha on HBO is one of the my only highlights this February. I can watch it countless of times, and never get tired of it. My favorite book based in my favorite country and my favorite actress in the entire world (Zhang Ziyi, who I've been worshipping since forever), fused together in one breathtaking movie. It was too good to be true, it's like Hollywood's personal present to me! This is probably the only movie adaptation that truly lived up to the book, if not made it even better.

And Gong Li gained a fan after I saw this flick. She will be my favorite 'bad guy' of all time; she made evil look so good... for a time, I seriously wanted to be a conniving villainess like her, too! Haha! Hands down, the best contravida evah.
