And the Oscar goes to...

I received an email today I am sharing with you since it struck me as both funny and outrageous at the same time.

Hear the buzz? The lights of the room dimmed, the sudden click of the film projector silenced the eager crowd, and we fixed our eyes on the screen to see what all the buzz was about... Oscar Frontier 2013! Just in time for movie award season, Markgraph Rooftop Moonlight Cinema is hosting Saturday evening screenings of the nominated films for Best Picture at this year's Oscars. We checked with our friend organizing the screenings, and he tipped us off that this Saturday, January 19, they will show Spielberg's "Lincoln" (the frontrunner of most Oscar buzz so far) starring the amazing Daniel Day Lewis. Let's go to the movies! P.S. The Saturday night films start at 8pm, and there are drinks and popcorn on site.

So most of these movies have not yet been released on DVD and here in Shanghai there is someone holding public screenings of the movies and selling drinks and popcorn. If there ever was a place for budding entrpreneurs, this is it - forgetting of course whether it's legal or not.
