Zhang Ziyi (or Ziyi Zhang... I've seen it both ways in publications, and no one can decide which is correct and which is Anglicized, so... I'll call her Z) looks beautiful, she is wearing a lovely dress, and she's a fine actress with an amazing body of work. I can't pretend that stuff isn't true.
But... this seems to lack perspective. I mean, this is a movie premiere. It is not her wedding. Unless I have missed out on a fresh interpretation of the "Oops, Did I Not Mention It's My Wedding Day?" hook that has so captivated celebrities, from Julia Roberts to Britney "If I Don't Tell You About It, You Can't Stop It, And Also, Mom, I Gave Him The Keys To Your Lexus" Spears.
So, I understand that this movie is a big deal for Ms. Z, and it's an Oscar hopeful and all that, and I'm very pleased for her. I am. I have an OPI toenail polish called "I'm Not Really A Waitress" that would look very nice with that red lipstick she's wearing in the posters, if she'd like to hear about it. First, though, the cathedral-length drama ought to get toned down a tad. It's very Mariah Carey, and no, I haven't yet figured out a way to make that comparison complimentary.
