Yesterday I went to Speedy outlet at Mid Valley, saw a guy purchased a few BD, he proceeded to the counter to pay. i saw one of them is Star Wars Complete Set. Oh my, it cost a freaking RM499 (was it RM449? i dont remember). he could have order online. I guess he can't wait for the shipping time, but then, if he is a SW fans he would have bought it on the 1st day it was released?

while checking out the JURRASIC PARK bluray release, i just noticed it has been like 20 years since it release. i recall it was the 1st movie i brought my highschool sweet heart to cinema n really enjoyed it a lot.
*
Haha, me no sweet heart to watch with, but at that time, i was with a bunch of friends ran (literary on the foot, RAN!) from one cinema to another cinema because the previous one sold out. Needless to say, there was no empty seat even the front row in the whole cinema hall. Those days watching movie in a stand-alone big screen cinema is like a big event, now is like.... finish shopping, eat a meal, if got extra hour to spend, let's go to cineplex, all under one roof in a shopping mall.

Funny Tracking by UPS.... hmmm

** I had no idea why they appear at Sepang, Malaysia then return back to German, but the timing is wrong. Even follow correct timing, it also weird why it track appear at Malaysia then back to Shenzhen, China? Hmm....

** The Sepang, Malaysia is not under amazon.de track details, probably wrong tracking information record by UPS itself? So weird!

I think i know what happen. it's like this: UPS process the order, they send the order info to UPS Malaysia and Custom, what u have seen in the Progress Tracking is, while UPS Germany busy arranging/transferring your item, at the same time the paperwork has been received by UPS and Custom Malaysia, waiting for clearance. It's the paperwork, not the parcel itself.

I know this because last time I bought something (not blu-ray) from US, sent via Fedex. They have this kind of extra paper work.

No prob!
normally if the shipment transit at shenzhen or guangzhou overnight, we in Malaysia will receive it before noon the next day. Meaning u will receive it today before noon, err... if u are in KL.

If only i have the option to buy part I and II. haha. Actually i have the DVD Coppola Restoration. Probably will not order the BD, not becos I dont really like it, it's due to there are lots of other BD i want to own. Priority, my mate!

Ya, this is the one I got earlier at that GBP17.99 price before they ran out of stock; another very good buy from Amazon UK for 4 standard BD discs (the 3 Godfather movies plus 1 disc of extras) in a slip case.
Some shots just to poison bro. Andrew san some more!

Overall package

All three cannot stop watching from beginning to end (if you have not wathced before.). Part 3 spoiled by presence pf Sofia Coppola (director's daughter, nepotism??), very unnatural acting, always pouting smile only, yuks!  doh.gif  I think any other actress would have done a better job but luckily movie saved by Al Pacino and the rest.
*
I forgive Sofia after she gave me Lost In Translation. tongue.gif

Do u know apart from Al Pacino, Diane Keaton & Talia Shire, Sofia appeared in all 3 movies.

Resistance is futile, i succumbed to the temptation.
the temptation is too powerful for me. My itchy hand just press the ORDER button for Stanley Kubrick Collection. Damn u Amazon.com and myself SowYau.

I prefer this over UK version, main reason is the very nice packaging. For those who crave UK version, although minus 2 movies, the price enable them to buy it separately.
