LA Times

Well, it's not earth-shattering -- yet -- but it was a damn fine surprise to see Nino's LETTERS pic in the Sunday LA Times paper this morning. It's in the Calendar section, and the article is really just commenting on the different use of violence between Mel Gibson's APOCALYPTO and Eastwood's LETTERS. But it was great they picked a pic of Nino's Saigo rather than Watanabe for the accompanying shot. Check it out! Note the link is open today but the Calendar usually goes locked (but with free registration) after that.

It just seems really surreal to see a pic of our Neener in the paper that I read every Sunday morning. ^__^

LETTERS starts to win hearts in Hollywood

Ah! More, more! LETTERS is going to do very well during award season, at least in noms. If the film was already selected as top film by the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, that's a good sign, but even AFI (American Film Institute) picked it as a top 10 of 2006. ^___^
