I have no words. What an ending. Too bad we’ve to wait until 2009. The Planet of the Apes ending was something I usually don’t like, but when we have a Planet of The Apes ending and still half-a-season to go…
Now the questions. Is that Earth? I DON’T KNOW.
But it looks like it. Well, check for yourself, a quick-and-dirty panorama. Looks familiar? Is that the Brooklin Bridge?
You know the drill. Click to enlarge.
Outrageous, a total disrespect.
Last Wednesday, June the 4th, I was travelling from Rio de Janeiro to São Paulo, a 6 hour bus trip, nice to relax in a wide, 1st class seat, when the in flight, I mean, in drive movie started.
The movie? Check the video below:
Can’t play video? Have some pictures:
Yes, Virginia. They played Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
On a crappy 14" rounded-screen CRT TV, mono sound, a bootlegged copy without ending credits and opening ones in German. Of, dubbed in Portuguese.
They RUINED my experience. I was planing to watch the movie in a big real theatre, next weekend. I’m not a saint but I believe some movies deserve to be enjoyed on a REAL cinema screen. Some others are just POSs we watch to kill time, and those can be watched via YouTube. (I’m talking to you, Uwe Boll).
Specially, if I pay for a movie, if it’s included in my ticket price, I think it should be fair to watch a REAL movie, not a pirated, US$5 copy.
I’ll watch the movie today, after lunch, but it will not be the same. Great work, Autoviação 1001. You guys ruined a 20-years wait.
Hope Paramount take your company to the Courts and rip you a new one.
The guy in the photo is Luciano de Almeida, he stabbed his 16 years old girlfriend back in February. The newspaper reporting his arrest says the victim was "shreded" and the killer drunk her blood.
Looks like he is a literal "hacker".

When the police arrived, they were still fighting. Sooo… the cops decided that it was time to make peace, or better, make love, not war. Ordered to make out, they had no choice, after all Brazilian police can be very persuasive, with arguments from .38 to 9mm, not to mention the .380 ones.
Someone, possibly a cop filmed the whole love scene, using a cell phone. Yes, they french-kiss a little, and one of the guys really looks like he’s enjoying the whole thing.
Will someone be arrested? Other than the two lovebirds, no one, but I think a lot of NGOs will raise a little hell about the story.
Is it a sign of a new, softer Brazilian police? Nahhhhhh…. but it’s still way better than the on-site executions so popular back in the 80s among the Death Squads.
I’ll not purchase the Brazilian Battlestar Galactica DVDs.
That’s US$65.00 they’ll not see. I don’t give my money to people who don’t respect me, and Universal Pictures don’t give a frack to brazilian fans.
Both packs (1st and 2dn season) lack extras, and only the premiere episodes are widescreen. The rest of the seasons are fullscreen. Come on, we’re in 2007, who the frack watches (and likes) fullscreen?
Not Science Fiction geeks, I’m sure.
Oh, it gets worse. Sound. Remember, fracking lucky American fans? Those AMAZING sound FX, the heart-pounding score, Adama yelling “DO YOUR JOB!!!!” echoing around your lovely Dolby Extra Special 5.1 THX-Certified Sound System? Well, forget it.
The brazilian edition is Dolby Digital 2.0. BOTH Portuguese AND English soundtracks.
Ready to say “go frack yourself” to Universal? So let me ice your cake…
The last episode was cut, from all it’s 1h40min glory to a puny 42minutes.
What will I do?
Well, I’ll buy the imported version IF and WHEN I find it at a reasonable price, probably using a friend living in the USA, and mail a copy of the receipt to the local Universal Pictures office. “Better luck next time, motherfrackers”.
