Pilgrim Crosses Shipping Tuesday

We've gotten multiple confirmations that Tuscany Trading has received their Pilgrim Crosses on schedule and will be shipping them Tuesday. Apparently the only people whose orders were cancelled were those that did not email Tuscany recently to confirm their order. From Brian Fasano:

Everybody who has ordered one of these has been waiting a long time. United Cutlery greatly mis-estimated when they would be receiving these. To make matters worse, they continued to give erroneous delivery dates on almost a daily basis. Fortunately, we received word yesterday that they have arrived and are actually on their way to us. We will receive them next week and get them out as soon as possible.

Good news! They're here! We'll be boxing them up this weekend and shipping them out on Tuesday since Monday is a holiday.

wcnews Email Service Back Up

Thanks to the happy email gods, it appears that our @wcnews.com email addresses are up and working again and we've received most of the backlogged emails that have piled up over the past couple days. We're not 100% sure that we're getting everything, so if you've sent something this week and don't get a reply within the next few days you should probably resend your message. For future reference, our ace-1.com addresses are always a good backup.

Brazilian Newspaper Movie Review

Just to add this to my previous email, movie critics around here so far haven't said much about the WC movie, but the Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper, the biggest in the country, put a small article on last Saturday's kids' section about the pre-release. It didn't make any good comments about the movie, just that it's 'senseless' and 'was made as a preparation for the new SW movie'. Nothing to worry about. This newspaper's critics like only drama movies. They rated SW movie as 'a child's tale' and Austin Powers as 'another dumb comedy', for instance.

Favorable Venezuelan Response

I saw it yesterday. There was about six people (not bad for a movie that had one single poster one week in advance as the only advertising, and considering that Austin Powers 2 had about 8 people on its premiere day as well). The reactions where quite good however. The movie wasn't dark at all, the space battle sequences where nicely lit, and I could see every detail on them. A lot better than the low-quality VHS copy I saw first. I really enjoyed it a lot, and I plan on seeing again.
