showtime

I really look forward to the days when Chris arrives home from his office with a new DVD in his bag. Usually every week, he picks out a new movie for us to watch. They're a steal (pun intended) at about $3 per disc. We've had one DVD that was obviously the result of someone sneaking a handycam into the darkened theatre, but the quality of our other pirated discs is quite good. I am quite impressed at how professional the packaging is - I guess I was expecting pirated discs to have the title scrawled across them with a Sharpie - but instead they have a glossy full-colour cover, complete with tiny print reiterating that the disc is only intended for distribution in North America (ha!) and that copying of the disc is a crime (ha!).

I've heard from Chris that going to the cinema here can be quite the experience - popcorn in a variety of flavours, seats that recline into beds complete with pillows and blankets - but I'm quite happy with our cheap DVDs for the time being!

Hahah. I've seen some pretty bad bootlegs ... but I would be too too curious to try out the cinema there.
