My First 3D Movie

Last night Hyo Jung I went to my old neighbourhood, Seongseo, to see the Three Musketeers movie in 3D. I had never done a 3D movie before (I missed the whole Avatar craze) and I must say that I can see why movie makers do this. With traditional movies, you'd be mad to pay to see them when you can download them, legally or otherwise, and watch them on HDTV at home with the quality being much better. Even in Korea where going to a traditional movie is only $8 it's just so much easier to get them at home. 3D movies, despite the $13 ticket price in Korea, makes it worth actually going to the theatre. The movie itself was less than what I was hoping. In fact it was one of the lesser Three Musketeers movies. It felt more like it should have been Crouching Tiger, Hidden Musketeer rather than anything based on the Dumas book and, at the risk of giving away too much, any movie about early 17th century France that features an air battle is suspect in my books. If you want to do sci-fi in 1600 go for it, but don't advertise it as the Three Musketeers. However, the 3D made an otherwise sub par film enjoyable. I will definitely do that again.

Afterwards I went to Beer Cabin, an old hof/soju that I went to a few times when I worked in that area. It hasn't changed a bit and on a Tuesday night it was dead. So after a quick meal I called it a night and came back to Sangin.
