Just saw the write-up on it in the newspaper today. That means today, Saturday, was probably the one week prior prescreening before it coming out for its regular run -- starting next Saturday. If my mother in-law were not here, I and my wife would have probably gone to see it tonight.

Looks good and am looking forward to seeing it. The review was good as well (3 and half stars/5).

One thing I am worried about is the sub-titles. Mel Gibson had the actors use the Mayan language, so I am wondering if the Japanese distributor kept the English sub-titles at the bottom and put the Japanese sub-titles running vertical along the side.

In Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ they did not do that, and I was a little perterbed by that. There was only Japanese sub-titles at the bottom. Good thing I already knew the story.

But, if they do the same thing with Apocolypto it will be a Japanese and kanji recall lesson. I hope not.

This movie was "ok". And Mel Gibson is a freak...

It's already rental on base. So my dad loaned me the dvd. I wouldn't blow $30+ on this to see it out in town. It's just not worth it. It's got it's cool moments, but it's not all that great in my opinion. Go watch 300 again or something.

Hey, it's cool to be a pirate these days!

I don't think I've ever downloaded pirated software or videos even once lol. I've broken plenty of laws in my time, but I've always had a problem with software theft. Strangely, though, it's never bothered me if SOMEBODY ELSE did the downloading for me.

*laugh* ONE of THOSE types, eh?

So you can say.....so & so gave it to me, I wasn't aware it was not a legal copy
(forgetting it is a blank disc with handwritten title).

You are being watched -- by the yamori god. Look up.

Or "W" has his eye on you, reading your e-mail and eroding away your civil rights.

In comparison, yamori god sounds pretty cool and benign.
