Cinema: July 2008 Archives
Since my blu ray player is a US import I have to be very very careful about which discs I buy.
I either choose US region or multi-region discs, since there is no easy way to make a blu ray player recognise all discs (yet!)
Unfortunately Amazon haven't updated their website to take into account the Blu Ray regions.
Any film released on blu ray will end up with a DVD region listed beside it, which is, of course, incorrect. The silly thing is that Amazon's site has all the information on regions for blu rays - it's just the item display that is showing the wrong data.
It's a shame, but at least Amazon actually show the disc region, whereas a lot of the other sites don't even do that much!

Since I post to more than one blog it may appear at times that my activity here is pretty low key.
Over on FilmReviews.ie I've posted a couple of reviews of films I've seen recently including:
Wanted
Hancock
Alatriste
Incredible Hulk
While over on my domain news blog I've posted a few short posts about updates and some more in depth ones like the one the IEDR annual report
The company blog hasn't been that active recently, but I am trying to post to it a couple of times a week. We've been rather busy with the new rollout chez Blacknight, so my energies have been focussed elsewhere (fixing websites to read in English without boring people to death takes time!)
I've also got a few more project ideas in the pipelines, though whether I'll get the time to do anything about them is a totally different matter. (Pipelines is anywhere between vague idea and fully functional website and covers everything in between)

I've been to the cinema twice in the last couple of days.
On Friday night I went to see Hancock in Kilkenny, while last night I went to see Wanted in Carlow.
Both evenings people came into the cinema several minutes after the film had started. I'm not talking about the adverts or trailers, but the actual film itself.
They wander in then spend several minutes standing around trying to find somewhere to sit and talking as well.
End result being that your film viewing is disrupted.
Grr!
