Cinema

Hello there,

if you know me well, you know that i love going to the cinema. A week ago, i went to the cinema the first time here in Japan. Well, no big surprises here. It basically looked like any "megaplex" cinema I've seen so far. Went to see the most recent Harry Potter movie - was as expected, looking good because there is a lot of money put into the special effects, but the plot still seems quite randomly stuck together at many moments. Anyways.
Two things worth mentioning about cinema in Japan:

• it's damn expensive. More than 16 Euros for a regular ticket (1800 Yen), two Euros more for 3D movies
• funny: all people sat through the whole credits. That has never ever happened to me in Europe. Here they don't even turn the lights on as long as the movie credits are still running. And everyone was still there when the credits ended.

Even though it's so damn expensive, i plan to go again this week to see Tron 2.0. A movie I've been waiting for, the trailers looked pretty damn cool (didn't watch the last one, to not see too much already). And it seems i am lucky: the movie was released last Friday here in Japan. Thought it'd be a worldwide same-day release, but now i saw that people in Austria will have to wait until the end of January. Well, well. Here's a pic of the posters that you can find down in the metro right now:


Nice, huh? The Dude, geeking it out.
Keep watching.
