Independence day!

Independence day!
It’s a JVC TH-G31 Home Theater system. We bought it last Saturday but unfortunately wasn’t able to take it home, and it was delivered yesterday, on a holiday. And that ate up my time, waiting in the morning and setting up in the afternoon. I wasn’t too excited right?!
Well it’s lacking of iPod docking support but that really can go. It has HDMI out with 1080 up-scaling conversion which is perfect for LCD TV. It also had radio, USB port and two mic ports. I tried playing AC3 encoded *.avi files in a USB thumb drive but surround option is disabled, I don’t know why. It would have been really cool for it to decode Dolby Digital audio embeded in the file, or I maybe missing something. I was originally aiming for a 5.1 speaker set at around 14K and then we found this item in a brochure at 14,990.00 plus 1,500.00 discount if you pay cash/straight payment. So its a good deal!
If in case I cannot extract surround sound audio off from a USB video file with AC3/DTS encoded in it, there’s the AUX Optical Audio-In at the back, which I am not familiar with. Something new is always fun, either way, I can go back to collecting high quality DVD movies again.

… from reddit, and gas me up a bit on a very long day.
I happen to get a chance to see Fan Boys, and how it interests me to finish the movie thru this starwars theme intro (imagine these texts flying away to infinity, and the music in the background)
Episode VII
Return of the Saga
The year is 1998 and it is a period of galactic civil war. Scratch that. There’s no civil war. That would be crazy! However, the past fifteen years have been a dark time for Star Wars fans.
but there is hope. A new Star Wars film is on the horizon. In 199 days, 3 hours, 33 minutes and 30 seconds the most anticipated movie of all time will be released.
In the remote state of Ohio, two best friends and lifelong Star Wars fans have drifted apart. Little do they know that on Halloween night, their paths will cross again….
Ever wonder where these words are flying? Maybe aliens in another galaxy will one day read this and think WTF?

Boy: Here is your tea, old man
Old man: Thanks
Klaatu: You didnt contact us for a long time.
Old man: I have a secret mission.
Old man: It is enemy territory.
Klaatu: I understand.
Old man: I guess they can come to an agreement.
Old man: I am afraid they are unreasonable race.
Old man: I am living here for 70 years.
Old man: I know them well.
Klaatu: And?
Old man: Every try to explain them was a failure.
Klaatu: They ruin everything,
Klaatu: And that shall never change.
Klaatu: Is it your official point?
Old man: The trouble is they know their destiny.
Old man: They can feel it.
Old man: And can do nothing about it.
Klaatu: That’s decided.
Klaatu: I’ll begin process asap.
Klaatu: We need to prepare to leave.
Old man: I’m staying
Klaatu: You can’t stay here
Old man: I can and I will
Klaatu: If you stay you’ll die
Old man: I know, this is my home now.
Klaatu: You yourself call them the destructive race
Old man: That’s true. But still, there is another side.
Old man: You see, I love them. This is very strange thing.
Old man: I can’t find a way to explain it to you. For many years I cursed my luck for being sent here.
Old man: Human life is difficult. But if this life is coming to an end, I consider myself lucky to have lived it.
Very good movie!
Just found some time to search for this MP3 that I like. But I think this one is better – non-live version. I’m gonna be on the first day release, probably (cheers). The title in english means “My Heart Burns”.

Ok, time to relax and enjoy the weekend
, probably to the mall.
Update
(back, saw a movie at Mall of Asia) Movie was great (for children!) Hahaha! Felt like I’m a 12 year old! There’s just a bit odd on the ticket booth. The cashier asked me to choose our seat amongst the green boxes from the monitor she showed me. And I saw only two greens, which means those are the only available seats. Ok, I said to her I’ll get those two available, numbers K10 and K11. While other boxes are orange (or yellow), I suppose those were taken. So we lined up at the entrance of Cinema 2 where others are waiting. Its about 10 minutes past 1, the showtime we got was 1:30pm. Then, another few minutes, they started letting people in. And when we’re in, we looked for our seat number, its somewhere along the aisle. Then, we saw people filling in the upper box and I was able to count the how many we were at the lower box, so I thought its too early. Maybe, the seats were all reserved, and most of them just don’t want to spend time waiting. Trailers after trailers finished, the lower box never even get 5% filled, hahaha.
Then I thought, something is wrong. The seat assignment the lady showed us was fake! Nobody’s really occupying those seats at the lower box. Then, I come to thinking, this is possibly a way for them to sell upper box tickets which of course well get them higher revenues. Ohhhhhh, yes! Basically that’s it. Upsell, scheme, revenues! (people … sigh!)
Anyway, film was good. The fun started when Sean broke the thin layer of something where they were standing, and find themselves falling, and in a little while, Trevor shouted:
We’re still falling!!!
While they were descending, they ask themselves what would they fall onto, and being the scientist, Trevor should know, or what he knows is something even himself have not seen.
All in all, its good for kids, or kids of all ages too. Something you CANNOT say “a waste of money”.
Or I should say – I saw “Batman The Dark Knight” so late from the date it opened. But me being skeptic about this installment is now totally gone. Wasn’t Christian Bale that pushed me off my seat, well of course stunts were amazing, but I have to agree with everything I heard about Heath Ledger on his last film – he pulled it off! Outstanding performance!
“Some men, just want to see the world burn.”
This line struck me, a sad truth.
