You gotta see Point Break Live!- and sit in the "wet seats" - I think I wanna go back and try out to be Keanu for the evening.

Actually, I read that a bad batch of Slumdog discs went out - it might not be your DVD player that's the problem?

I believe that the problem with the discs (if it's the same that I read about) was that separate discs of Slumdog were printed for renting and buying. The rented ones were printed with no special features - just the movie. But apprently some of these discs ended up being sold instead of rented, making those who bought them unhappy.

I believe the problem is that Slumdog is the most overrated film in decades. No since The English Patient also undeservedly won Best Picture has there been such ado about nearly nothing.


If it were not so overly hyped beyond all enjoyment, your player would have played it. Blame the Machine, not the machine.

No, our player has been flaky of late and very picky about which discs it'll read.

Maybe your player just has good taste.

I'm glad to hear Slum Dog is out on DVD so I can watch it.

Oh blast! The ONE time I forget to check woot before going to bed....$30 upconverting DVD player. Already sold out this morning.

*cough*Chicago*cough*

But I won't argue the more general point.

We watched 'Slumdog' last night- while I enjoyed it and thought it was a very good film, I was really questioning the Best Picture award. It was good, but not that good.
