At the Theater

Went to see Mockingjay 2 at a real theater, my first in over two years,  in a modern Bali mall. That's Danu with me, photo by his mate Alice. Katrinka's taking her own. Doesn't look like me to me - I'm not that thin. And Danu's not that scary looking. That's our tickets in his mouth. They are for specific seats.

You know how in the US there are sometimes PSAs or ads at the cinema about not pirating DVDs. Here there was one saying it's forbidden to film the movie in the theater. Made me laugh. As far as I know there's no such thing as a non pirated DVD of a film here though there must be somewhere. But when you buy them the thing is to get ones that are copied off of DVDs and not filmed in theaters. One way to avoid that is not to buy one that's not available as a DVD in legit markets - wherever they are.
