Excited
De Anza’s Gay-Straight Alliance in Cupertino, CA is screening the film “Saving Face,” a romantic comedy about right, wrong, and everything in between. “Saving Face” was the first feature film from writer and director Alice Wu. In the film, a Chinese-American lesbian and her traditionalist mother are reluctant to go public with secret loves that clash against cultural expectations.
You can see the film trailer here for a preview. The movie will be followed by a student-led discussion encompassing the friction between cultural and LGBT values. The movie will begin promptly at 6:15 p.m., so please arrive early. Refreshments will be provided.
“Saving Face” Film Screening, Thursday, October 29, 2009
Conference Room B @ 6:00 p.m., De Anza Community College Campus

You know either I'm getting old or have been drinking too much, but I swear i've seen it..but I don't remember a damn thing about it. I will have to give it a rental.
Tien - this movie came out a few years ago and is available on DVD. I enjoyed the film and own the DVD.

On another note anyone know how to change the avatar that shows up on my comments? My new picture shows up while I'm posting something, but when it's actually posted it's old..
I was thinking Sanjay would write about how smoking hot these bombshells are.
Seriously though I really want to see this movie, it's a shame I'm not in the Bay anymore..
