After going to Shanghai and seeing the buildings that Tom Cruise jumped between inspired me to go make a purchase of Mission Impossible III and watch that scene again.   A couple of weeks ago, I read something in the newspaper about China trying to crack down on the rampant pirating of DVDs.   Well, I went to the usual spot in Dong Men, but it was gone; only CDs were there.   (I did find a sweet recording of a bunch of obscure Paganini pieces by Salvatore Accardo on the Gramaphone label).   One of the store attendants came up to me and asked if I was looking for DVDs.   I said, “dui” (“right”), so he put my Paganini CD in a bag and beckoned me to follow him.   We went a few stores down where he opened a large storage door which lead to a large closet (at least that’s how it felt) which was packed with DVDs.   I wonder if the business is simply hiding out while the police or whomever is enforcing this is at large.   I found MI3 and then headed out.
