DVD Rage

Superbowl commercials are attractions in and of themselves, usually better and more creative and entertaining than run-of-the-mill commercials. Does that mean advertisers don't bring their A game the rest of the year? They just try harder for the Superbowl? It doesn't add up. It smells of bunk.

Regardless, I didn't watch. X-Men 2 was on Fox. I still cry when they off Famke Janssen, even though I know she comes back in III. I'm sorry, you just don't do that to Famke.

Scratched DVD's are the bane of my existence. Watching a good flick, engrossed, completely unaware of the outside world, and halfway through the fucker dies on you. I was watching The Devil's Rejects which, while not award-worthy, was entertaining the shit out of me. Gore and boobies. What's not to like.

So it skips and will not play, so I star-wipe from a slasher flick to a PBS special about the history of the supreme court. Also entertaining, but a rough transition.

Saw III came in the mail today and if it skips I'm putting it in the microwave. I'm not kidding.

i too hate when the dvd skips: it always, as you say, happens right in the middle of a film.

it is not smart, however, to put such things in the microwave. if you do, you are stupid and i hate you.

I should have elaborated: put it in the microwave with butter and a soupcon of Mrs. Dash.

Lord Fondleberries said...

i see. that is acceptable, then.

i might have used scosh instead of soupcon.

incidentally, you have fabulous (much like mine own) taste in music. excpet travis. travis sucks donkey balls.

if you have not already, you should try black rebel motorcycle club, spiritualized, and brian jonestown massacre.
