iTunes Wild Wild West in German? This is Australia not Austria!

Browsing the Australian iTunes store I came across Wild Wild West. But that Plot Summary is not in English.

It appears that Apple has confused us with Austria (perhaps). Unfortunately my German isn’t good enough to read the summary or listen to the Trailer. Although it is funny to watch Will Smith and Kevin Klien dubbed into German.

Reading the reviews, it appears that it was the correct language in January, although all reviews from July warn of the language error. So something to avoid.

I wonder if having the wrong version of the movie available in iTunes Store causes licensing issues?

(Don’t believe me about the error? Have a look here.)

What do you use for baby showers?

A friend had a baby show today, and I was supposed to send advice. Feeling I had already made some suggestions I drew this as a bit of comedic relief.

In the movies it seems the numbers change

Earlier this month I wrote about TotalFilm’s top 50 Science Fiction films and who the top SciFi actors and directors were. Well it appears I made a mistake and forgot that Sigourney Weaver also appeared in Avatar.

So, she now has 3 movies in the top 50 and  moves from the bottom up the list to actor number 3.

Actor # Movies
Arnold Schwarzenegger 4
Harrison Ford 3
Sigourney Weaver 3
Jeff Goldblum 3
Mark Hamill 2
Carrie Fisher 2

Note: I’m using film order in the top 50 as the weighting to sort actors with the same number of appearances.

New Sydney parking police uniform

With all the rain at the moment in Sydney, I’m sure the parking police need a new uniform. When do you think they will be handed out wetsuits and flippers?

Software Update asks me to install 2 copies of iTunes 10.4

Today, in its infinite wisdom, Software Update decided that I needed to install 2 copies of iTumes 10.4. Now, while I understand that Software Update must have been very excited about the release of Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, I think I’ll let it cool down for a bit before choosing which iTunes update I should install.

(Both versions listed have the same description “iTunes 10.4 now designed for OS X Lion”.)
