What do they know about making one?", but holy shit, was I surprised. It is really up there with expensive Scotch brands.

You think? It was one of the first things I tried after arriving in Japan, since you can buy it in pretty much every convenience store here, and I was very unimpressed. But maybe the ageing makes all the difference; I'm guessing the stuff you can pick up in your local Family Mart isn't twelve years old.

AceHigh:
Yeah, tell me about it. Was in Hamburg for a week and bought local beer over there called Holsten. It was ok as every day beer, then on evening we ordered beer in a pub and it was great. We asked what it was and the bartender said it was Holsten. We tried to disagree saying that we drank Holstein already and it was totally different. That is when we learned that what we got there was Holsten Edel ("Noble") which is way different from the cheap piss you get in Aldi and Lidl (exact words of the bartender)

Same experience with Tuborg produced in Norway vs Tuborg produced in Denmark. And don't get me started on the different types of Havana Club Rum.

Is that the one with Sandra Bullock and George Clooney? If so, I watched that months ago and I wasn't very impressed. It was okay but that was about it. There was only like 5 minutes of Clooney in the entire movie which was pretty disappointing.

Visuals in Avatar even in normal; mode were incredible, 3D only added to it an incredible experience, especially the flora in the night with all that glow. Gravity is also great, rarely you get to see something like that.

Tatsujin:
Guardians of the Galaxy in 3D wasn't as bad. It was alright in 3D.
