So, my master plan to see Men in Black II fell through for tonight. No problem, I figured – I’d refresh myself by watching the original on the (recently purchased) Deluxe Edition DVD. I picked it up about a month ago, but this was the first chance I had to watch it. So, I pop disc 1 (the disc containing the movie) into my DVD player, and…nothing. It refuses to believe there’s a disc in there. So I take the disc out and try it in my PS2. Nothing. So I try it again in my DVD player. This time, it manages to see that there’s a DVD inserted in the drive, but refuses to play it. What’s more, it starts flashing a code at me, and will not eject the disc. After powering down my DVD player the “hard way”, I managed to get the disc out. Aside from a smudge or two, I couldn’t see anything on the disc…so I thought I’d try it in my computer. My computer wanted to format it as a CD-RW. So that was a no go. I’ll be bringing that back to Best Buy tomorrow for an exchange, hoping they’re not going to give me too much crap about my 35-day old receipt. In the end, I watched “1776” a few hours earlier than scheduled.<\/p>\n
And, on the upside, I’m gonna get liquored up tomorrow. That always makes everything better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
