Here come the men in blur

In case you haven't heard, they sell DVDs of dubious origin here in China.  

One of the teachers passes a street vendor selling the all the latest and greatest, including a compilation disc that  includes 10 or so big films, the highlight of which is Men in Black III.  Of course, this close to the film's release, he can only assume that this is the bootleggiest of available bootlegs, but at 6 kuai (appx 1 USD,) the price is right.

He gets home, expecting to find a lousy, video cam-captured version, and - in fairness- that's what he finds.  But he also finds that the cameraman has tried to capture the full movie-going experience for his at-home audience by recording the 3D version of the film.

Going to the theater is expensive here, but in all honesty, it's nice to know that you are definitely going to get to see the movie you've paid to see.

...I feel like maybe I just jinxed my next trip to the movies...
