    Well.. he is inappropriate... in every way:) What an ignorant and arrogant old man he is. Slobbering all over that, well... rather delectable, Indian actress, in her home country where that kind of behavior just isn't fonkin' on! Typical idiot shenanigans from someone who should know better. Actually if you watch the footage, you can see how full of himself he is while he's trying to imprint his humongous nose in her neck. I actually love it when so-called celebrities make ass-wipes of themselves while showing out for the crowd. Oh... did I mention that the fool also ruins rather great Japanese films as a hobby?

    The original is awesome, let's hope the inappropriate Mr. Gere doesn't fluff up yet another american remake of a japanese gem (See 'shall we dance' for full clarification).
