Home Theater

Holy poop.  I just saw Black Swan last night, and it was nothing short of amazing.  And the rumors were all true: Natalie Portman's performance was out of this world.  The best part of it was that instead of paying $9 each to see it in at the movie theater, Lee, Matt, and I watched it at home for a total of 75¢, the amount I spent to buy the pirated DVD in China.

I would tell you more about the movie, but nothing I say could be as well-put as the synopsis on the DVD jacket:

In the post-2008 Beijing Olympics and post-2010 Shanghai World Expo era, nearly all of the ridiculous Engrish signs in China have been replaced with accurately translated texts.  I'm glad to see that the tradition still lives on in the form of bootleg DVDs.
