Our DVD player isn't the highest quality, but it gets the job done. In fact, it has worked with relatively no problems (that I can think of) until recently. Now, it has done the same thing twice. Let me explain...
Although it is not technically an HD DVD player, it still plays every disc we try. Until the Pulse disaster. We tried to play that disc and it would not work. Thinking it was the disc and not the player, I returned it for another copy. This went on until the third disc of the same movie, when we finally decided to get a non-HD copy. Now, you may recall that this particular movie was not worth all the effort. In the end, we were fairly disappointed in having spent so much time trying to get a movie that didn't impress us. So, when it happened again, we decided to forget the movie altogether.
This second time was with Babel. I'd heard mixed reviews going into it, so the decision to give up on it wasn't all that painful. If anyone has seen it and thinks I should reconsider, please let me know. Otherwise, we are taking it as a sign that we should not waste 2+ hours (not to mention all the days needed to get a new copy) on it.
In happier movie news, we recently watched and enjoyed the following:
Flyboys
Alpha Dog
The Pursuit of Happyness

I haven't seen Babel, but Mike did. He thought it was garbage. Now, he likes Chick Flicks, so I don't know if that helps, but on his recommendation, I would say skip it.
hmmm.
i have watched over a million and a half DVDs and fell asleep through a million and a half minus a handful (my downfall with movies... or anything really. how many times did i try to watch gilmore girls at your house? which, btw, very sad series has ended but sorta better with it now that i saw lauren graham on ellen and she was kinda strange... wow this is the longest byline in parenthesis ever). babel unfortunately was one of those fateful movies where i fell asleep. but since i fell asleep in the first 5 minutes, i would say, NAW FORGET IT.
Yeah, I was a little disappointed in GG ending, too. Mostly because they just started advertising as the series finale a week before it aired. I'm sure I'll have a whole sob-story post about shows ending after I watch tonight's VM finale.
GG was over seasons ago.
well, it still brings back memories of the panic room episode. oh well, there is always netflix tv series rentals. which i have 2 dvds right now much to andy's chagrin.
Yeah. I do that with Bones and Evan hates it. We also get 24, but we're watching that together so he doesn't complain.
IT BE A LONG TME SENCE I HAVE HAD A VIDIO IN MY HONOR.
I THINK IT IS TIME. LETS SEE HER
