guilty pleasures: pirated blu ray


i didnt think they would be able to actually do this. pirated blu ray. but apparently they are able to! found two stores actually offering this, but not off the rack. and they wont just offer it. they'll size you up first, to make sure you dont represent any of those anti-piracy busters. lol. i wasnt as convinced of the quality. they sell copies at P300 (vs P1500 for the orig) and even when i viewed samples a couple of times, i was hesitant. i wanted to compare it in my LED, on my player.

2012 convinced me to try it. i knew i wanted to see that in hd but when i heard the freaking reviews, it made me think twice about forking P1500 for the movie. finally got around to ordering not just that but three other titles - incredible hulk, 500 days of summer and harry potter half blood prince, films i never got to watch.

got my copies earlier and i jumped at the chance to watch 2012. i am so happy i bought the copies! my eye tells me that there is some generation loss, some amount of fuzziness but hardly noticeable. and for the price!!! watching that with the full home theater system i set up is WOW. disaster movies were made for LED and home theater.

i just sat there in my tiny bedroom amazed and totally engrossed in what i was watching. the effects are just AWESOME. and when i previewed incredible hulk - more amazement and wonder! edward norton is twice as hot in hd. lol

2012 the movie is really just about special effects. the storyline's super thin. the characters are bland and one-dimensional. and i am so glad i didnt pay P1500 to watch it.

im watching 500 days tonight. :-)
