Is it me?

Am I the only one who's seen the trailer to Memoirs of a Geisha and can't help but think: Couldn't they find Japanese acresses to play the leading roles? I mean, I don't think I'm particularly sensitive to these things, but throughout the entire trailer, all I could think was why are these Chinese women wearing Kimonos?

I really hope this wasn't the conversation in some Hollywood boardroom:

"Hey I know, let's get those chicks from Crouching Tiger. That movie did really well."

"Uh, but sir, that was a movie about China. This movie's about Japan."

"Oh, c'mon. Who's going to notice the difference? I can hardly tell them all apart."
