월.E 보고 싶어

Wall.E has been showing in cinemas throughout Seoul like two weeks ago. I was kinda surprised when it is not even shown in Singapore yet. This is probably a tactic employed by the Hollywood studio to counter the rampant piracy problem in Korea. Apparently the tactic is not working because I saw DVD copy of Wall.E being sold three for 10,000 won (S$13.60) in the street of Seoul. Seoul is very much like Singapore many years back before we are obliged to clamp down on piracy to push the signing of the US-Singapore Free Trade Agreement. With piracy problem effectively quashed, it is unlikely that Singapore will ever get to watch new blockbuster before their world-wide release date.
