I never watch movies in 3D. I guess it's because I never thought it was necessary for that to enjoy watching a particular movie. Plus, it's a bit pricey. But when my best friend asked me if I wanted a ticket for Super Junior's Super Show 3 (SS3)  in 3D, I felt I just had to watch it, even if I already saw them perform live in February. We went to the screening on October 15.

The ticket costs P1,000 each and while I had fun watching, I thought it was quite expensive for the following reasons:

1. The show lasted for only an hour and a half, compared to the actual show I saw in February which was about three hours.  - There may be reasons for only showing the highlights of the SS3, but I think it would have been better if it was a bit longer, say about two hours, the same time most movies usually last.

2. Since the show was only for an hour and a half, not all solo performances were shown except Yesung's solo. Yesung is one of my favorite members so I enjoyed that, but how about the others who would have wanted to see their favorite members' solo performance?

3. There were no English subtitles. - The part when the members were talking to the fans was pretty short and while I like seeing their faces on screen, I prefer to understand what they are saying as well.

Watching the members perform live is the best thing to do of course. I think the whole point of the screening in 3D was to let those who weren't able to attend the show see and feel why SS3 is the best show on earth, or to let those who weren't able to get VVIP seats to the last show see the show again with a VVIP view. If you are a Super Junior fan and you missed SS3 for some weird reason,  then you must see the show in 3D because they are amazing. It will make you realize that you have to see them perform live the next time they're here.  Well, I do hope there's a next time, since I read somewhere it's iffy.

By the way, I bought the 5th album two weeks ago. I must say SM Entertainment really means business. For the 5th album, instead of having the usual cover which shows all the members, the album cover only features one member. The marketing strategy works for if you are the type who likes to really collect fan stuff, you'll be buying more than one album. And we're only talking about version A of the album. Versions B and C have been released in Korea and I think those versions will also be released here very soon, which means more sales for SM Entertainment. 

You probably think I bought ten copies, but I didn't and I never even considered the thought. I bought two copies. I'm a fan but I think I also have to be very practical. Bought one with the Yesung cover for myself and the Heechul cover for my bestfriend.

The albums are HUGE. It's a good thing there was a free tote for easier handling.

And there was a free baller too.
