Just received:





Don't wanna open it yet, this should be inside:

Yes, DHL. From the shipment notice email by Amazon to the time it was signed for delivery, it took around 54 hours.

Arremie, it's now back in stock because some people canceled their pre-order the last minute. Though it's $9 more expensive now.

I also ordered that version. Should arrive tomorrow, I just ordered because suddenly I thought not to open this replica edition, so I can just watch the normal version for now.

Yes, now I can watch Star Trek! Just received:



I won't open the limited edition gift set yet. Will sell either one in future.

ELITES only buys normal priced items. When sales like the Black Friday comes, they just like to sit back and smile at all the peasants going all cheapskate. Maybe throw in some breadcrumbs for their amusements.

PEASANTS like us could only resort to sales like the Black Friday to get what we want. Let them ELITES watch, don't feel ashamed, it's the way of the world.

Nope, still safely sealed in the box.

That's not mine. Taken from here:

Received my long-waited MOON!

Just watched MOON. I'm alone right now (the wife and kid will be back in few days) so it seems like the most appropriate movie to kill the time. Never thought I'd say this, but it has become one of the best movies I've ever seen. Just love it.

This kind of movie, I expected that there'll be some kind of a plot twist in the end, but the twist here actually came rather early. The twist is not what makes the movie so great, but how the character deal with it, dealing the truth about who he actually is, his emotion, his feeling and how to accept the reality of it. It's really a beautiful story, a character-study that was played to perfectness by Sam Rockwell. Sometimes the great journey of a story could be spoiled by lame ending, but I just love it here. It's a happy ending in a strange peculiar way.

Ultimately it's a tribute to fathers. I came to that conclusion after watching a half-hour short-movie by the director Duncan Jones (so glad they put it on the blu-ray). He must have had a lot of respects to fathers, David Bowie must be very proud of him. He's a truly gifted director, I'm looking forward for his next project.

PS: Helium-3 is a real thing, they exist in abundance on the Moon. They could get clean fusion energy equivalent to nuclear, but without the radio-active waste. Scientists actually considering to mine it in the future.

PPS: Spotted a Proton Wira in short-movie (the London scene).

Added on December 5, 2009, 5:15 pmI'm watching the making-of featurette of MOON, there's a note on the set saying "what would Michael Bay do?". So funny because the film doesn't resemble anything like a Michael Bay movie. This movie is just better.

Even Peter Jackson doesn't know when the LOTR BD will come out. But apparently there's already a print that was sent to him for approval. "It looks fantastic".

My Metallica blu-ray finally shipped.

That was after I email Metallica.com with nasty metal-style language complaining about their slow service.

Next target: Orgullo, Pasion y Gloria: Tres Noches En La Ciudad de Mexico

Most forumers here know it, but they also know I'm also a fan of Celine Dion (at least all the songs in her Vegas A New Day show).

A lot of people here had problems with customs/KDN/CB, no need to be rude. We used to make jokes about the customs watching our BDs before clearing it, etc, I mean it's not that big deal. It's part of the fun importing BDs.

Received this:

Amazon stopped doing the price-matching policy more than a year ago. Now they have the right not to give price-matching refund, but Amazon CS as you know is so cool they still give refunds simply as a goodwill from their part, just being nice to their customer.
