PACIFIC RIM-UPRISING(2018), the sequel to 2013's "Pacific Rim", is about to release to Ultra 4k and Blu Ray. In these movies, 250 foot tall robots defend Earth from an assault of other worldly giant monsters(kaiju).

As far as I'm concerned people have little(if any) reason to complain but that's my opinion and that's all it is. I have a belief that many of the young people in the U.S. today are spoiled by technology and other things in life. That's how I see it.

True. But I think most of these people are collectors who have either seen better prints or know where there are better prints available. The thing I don't get is that I've heard multiple times that Media Blasters were only able to use the materials Toho provided for them. I hardly regard a release like this with lots of extras/whatever as "second best". Yeah, I've heard that one too. Some of the comments that have been made, like "It's inexcusable" just make me want to barf. That kind of self-entitlement is pretty snobbish if you ask me.

Okay, so last night, myself and a couple of friends were out at a park filming for a mini-project, it's about 6:30, the sun's gone down, and we're done for the day and make it back to our cars. It's the three of us alone in this area of the park. As we're standing about chatting we hear the jingle of an ice cream truck.

Naturally, it's out of the ordinary to hear such a thing this late, and the park is known for several alleged hauntings. We look around for the truck and see nothing, when judging from the sound, it should have been within view. We start to feel a little creeped out. The sound comes to an abrupt stop, and we all feel the sudden urge to leave. Probably a natural response. We chat a couple more minutes, then say our goodbyes and drive off.

As we drive away, the thing on all our minds is: What the hell was that?

Good news my friend might be home by the end of the month so next week; I guess they're trying to push him out ASAP and he's going to get a DHD with special notations from what he was saying last time I talked to him.

Also my work has gotten a lot better over the past few weeks in fact I got one of the isles in the pets section taken care and all the managers complimented me and the guy that helped do it.

Now to just get past the next month which I call hell month. Why is that you might ask because the store is going to be so busy with shoppers its going to be ridiculous and then the day after Christmas is going to be HUGE for returns.

ARCEE!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Oh, to HELL with you, Micheal Bay... You have the utter BALLS to do the most unforgivable mis-step that any movie could possibly make: Tease the death of one of the worst characters in the movie (one of those f***ing TWINS), only to cop out when he was as sure as dead!

Then you come back and blow one of my favorite characters to fragments!

ARCEE!

On a side note, "Shia & Megan" and "Sam & Mikaela" abbreviate to "S&M." Bay TOTALLY noticed that during casting for the first movie.

Some tips for you from my own experience, from 1992-1995, working in retail at both Thom McAn and Florsheim(national shoe retailers) and as both a store manager and also assistant manager during "Black Friday" and the Christmas holiday season:

1. NEVER lose your cool with a customer(or customers)...and believe it during the holidays the temptation and urge will likely be much stronger

2. always try to assist multiple customers simultaneously if and when at all possible

3. if you feel you're getting bogged down with one customer who either just wants attention or is monopolizing your time for other frivolous reasons pass this customer off to either a supervisor or another more experienced store associate...but only if you feel you have your done your best to help the customer and they still need more assistance winky

4. be on the lookout for shoplifters...they are out in greater numbers during the holiday season. Always be alert for customers in your store who may have unusual looking bulges under their coats or jackets and those who keep their hands tucked in their pockets a lot

5. understand and accept that you'll never be able to fully assist EVERY customer to their 100% satisfaction...it just isn't possible regardless of how hard you try

6. returns will likely be rampant because they're are a lot of people out there who shop for their friends and loved ones and have no idea what to buy for them.

Remember that most customers who come to your store, during the busy holidays, want to get into the store, find what they want, check out as quickly as possible and leave so they can return to their normal routine. Work in a way that helps customers to make this happen. The vast majority of people you help will be reasonable, polite and appreciate what you do for them.

Good luck. Mr. Smiles

You didn't know? They really only stayed in the background in case he needed help catching somebody.

Hmmm... I'm thinking of getting Ultra Q (A series made before Ultraman) since from what I've seen on Youtube I have liked, especially how it has more of a horror feel/look to it. topper

The Region 2 DVDs of this series sell at Yesasia, Matthew but they are in Japanese language only. Would you still want to invest in this series even if you don't understand the dialogue of the human characters in the episodes? heyo

Thanks for the tips and yeah I know how it goes I used to do retail myself thankfully though my Wal-mart is so big we have people to take care of shop lifters.

Also I expierenced one of those customers that wanted to waste my time on Wednesday actually, she was looking for an electric razor and kept asking me questions I didn't know because I'm not familiar with electric razors so I passed her off to a sales associate who's more knowledgable in the subject the myself.

Also suprisingly tonight at work wasn't to bad for me, I think its because we had our sales last night and I missed the early morning stuff.

I was planning on getting the DVD's from Yesasia (I have brought films from them before) and am aware of the lack of English, but I'm still interested in getting Ultra Q even though I won't under what the characters are saying. winky
