MI:3 and Wyatt Earpp
Two weeks ago, my wife and I had intended to see Dreamer. Unfortunately, she wasn’t feeling well so we didn’t go. Last weekend, it was no longer playing anywhere in Seoul. I tried to convince her to go see Inside Man or 16 Blocks, but she wasn’t interested. So I thought I’d see both movies myself during the week. As it turns out, my classes were cancelled this week so I didn’t have to leave the house early in the morning. Instead, I focused on programming and other tasks. Being so busy, time just slipped away and I didn’t see either movie. Now, this weekend, neither one is playing. I’ll just have to wait for the DVDs.
We wound up seeing Mission Impossible 3 today. It was better than I expected. I’d say it’s the best MI yet. We didn’t see it at our regular Cinema since early showings were all sold out. We went to a different one a block away. On the way home I stopped by a DVD shop that I don’t normally visit. They have a tremendous selection, the largest of any DVD shop I’ve been to is Seoul. I was able to find 2 movies I’ve been looking all over for, Wyatt Earpp and Regarding Henry. The former I just think is a great movie, the latter I wanted because, while it’s a good movie, I’m trying to expand my Harrison Ford collection.
I also managed to get my hands on the second season of the Sopranos. Everywhere I’ve been I’ve found seasons one and three, but two has been elusive. They also had three and four, but I’ll get those later. The best part of today’s visit is that my wife reminded me to ask about a membership. It turns out that they do have one and its the same sort of system my regular shop has: 5% of every purchase is added to a running balance that you can ultimately use to by other items in the store. Considering that this place blows away my regular shop in terms of selection size, I think I’ll be spending more time there. Also, the nearby theater is never as busy as our regular one, so my wife and I decided we’ll keep going there instead (even though their snack bars have no hot dogs).
