Joe Odgiri to marry an actress!!

It's been some time since I talked about Joe Odagiri.  Here we go, a big news.

Joe is getting married with Yu Kashii, an actress he co-starred in "The Pavillion Salamandre".  I like her a lot - though she is young, she is very good in acting and has quite a cool demeanor.  Among the films available in the U.S., she is in "Linda, Linda, Linda".  You can get it on Netflix.

But actually, I was more interested in his comment in the press conference.  He says that he decided to announce the marriage at this time because he will be "out of the country most of the time starting from the next year."

What's that supposed to mean!!???

According to reports, he will appear in a Korean film and will go to Korea early in January.  So I understand it.  But he says "starting from the next year", not just "around new years".

Now, I am in this hallucination again about him playing in Scorsese's "Silence" - hmmm....  and if he will be in LA a lot, then I can have an access somehow to him...

No, no, Michi.  Stop day dreaming.  Get back to work.
