Infernal Internal Affairs
Now listening to: U2- How to Dismantle an Atom Bomb (so-so only lah)
Ah, finally some progress. With 4 days to our deadline, my group has finally succeeded in transmitting sound through airwaves! Yep, we even tried bouncing the AM waves off some metal sheets and even through some glass. Boy, were we having a field day. Even the GSI joined in the fun experimenting with our AM waves. Spending 5 hours in that lab was no joke man. There’ll be another 5 hours tomorrow when we conduct our experiments with our equipment.
I just finished watching the three part series of Infernal Affairs. Yeah, I’m sure a lot of you are surprised thinking that you’d never catch me dead watching a Cantonese Movie. Well, I don’t like a lot of them but there are exceptions. So IA is about some cop recruits who double double cross here and there. Eventually everyone dies and that’s the end of the story. So unfortunate. Infernal Affairs is actually coming to theaters in the US really soon. I actually saw the trailer in the cinema a few weeks back.
House of Flying Daggers will be opening here this month. I also saw on TV that the DVD for Hero is out. They opened with “Quentin Terrantino Presents…” What a load of crap. I don’t think he had any hand in the production. Probably stole the tape from China and came up with the idea of marketing it here. What an opportunist.
Apparently the digital camera market has severely affected the film camera industry. I’ve read that in some places, photo labs that don’t have digital services had to close shop because nobody develops prints anymore. I’m also directly affected because I’ve been trying to sell my Nikon F5 for a reasonable price. But it’s depreciated so much now because everyone wants to go digital that every interested party is lowballing me. It’s the second most advanced film SLR that Nikon has ever produced and now its price in the second hand market is plummeting like crazy. I may decide to just keep it instead.
News has it that Nikon’s profit for the second quarter of 2004 came out to be triple of what was predicted. Thanks to the introduction of the amateur digital SLR, the Nikon D70. Frankly, I think that camera is really child’s play, because of its lack of expandability. It’s got a few improvements over my trusty D100 but I’m not about to let my D100 go just yet. Anyway, congrats Nikon! You ROCK!
