Get lost kid, ya bother me

So I went to see Batman begins today. A quality flick that I enjoyed immensely. Perhaps the most interesting part of the experience, however, was the previews. Actually, not the previews themselves but the little videos about proper moviegoer behavior. First, there was this strange and very art house style video against DVD piracy in which a pretty lady sheds a single tear. The tear rolls down her face and as it does, it turns into mercury or some other silver liquid and then falls from her chin. The tear falls into some sort of black pool. Then suddenly a horrifying skull appears in the black pool and a voice kicks in saying not to pirate DVDs. So remember, copying DVDs will kill you...and make skulls appear in black pools as you cry metal.

My favorite by far, however, was the no talking/using cell phone/smoking video. In this cartoon video some poor movie patron is surounded by people talking on their cell phones, and children running amok. The poor little fellow slowly goes insane and starts pounding on his head until he can no longer take it and lights up a cigarette, at which time the cell phone users become very angry. The video then ends and a line of Japanese text appears on the screen with the english translation beneath. The translation reads, "your behavior is bothering everyone". There was no "please be considerate" or "thank you for your cooperation" they just came right out and let you know that other people find the way you conduct yourself offensive. Great stuff. Other than that I learned that tekapai (tay kah pah-EE) means oily boobs. I don't really know what they were talking about, but somehow that came up. Anyhow, thats the news from Japan. Peace out.
