Should I watch Return of the King? - Shameless attempt to get 100 post count.

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Hopefully you`ll have more luck with ROTK than I had with FOTR on DVD, when it froze 6 times and I couldn`t watch the movie. And it was a brand new DVD.

It was quite similar with Rat Race, Finding Nemo, About a Boy and Frida.

Oh yeah. DVDs rule.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Uh, Nic, you might want to take a good hard look at your DVD player...if DVDs constantly fail on it, that suggests more of a compatibility issue. It would be a hell of a coincidence to have five different DVDs which are all faulty in the same way.

How old is the DVD player? Could it be that it has problems with dual-layer DVDs?

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Watch LOTR: ROTK!
Watch LOTR: ROTK!
Watch LOTR: ROTK!
Watch LOTR: ROTK!
Watch LOTR: ROTK!
Watch LOTR: ROTK!
Watch LOTR: ROTK!
Watch LOTR: ROTK!
Watch LOTR: ROTK!
Watch LOTR: ROTK!

Even better, watch it now, then get(rent or buy) all three Extended Editions once ROTK:EE comes out, and get an overdose of Leggy, erm,Legolas, Frodo, Sam, Boromir. Yes. I said Boromir! :O[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]It happened on THREE different DVD players. Mine, my friend`s and my Dad`s. One of which was brand new.

They`re just evil.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Maybe you're buying, like North America coded DVD's and using DVD players with, like, a European or Asian code? Were the DVDs or players on sale? Have the DVD players been sitting on uneven surfaces? Has anything put pressure on the bottom or tops of the DVD players? Were they gifts from a man in a top hat how wandered around the mall in a dazed and confused manner?[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]I think we've got one of those too.[/colorost_uid0]

[Nic Corelli]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Nope, Opium, those were European code DVD players and European code DVDs. Some of them from the videostore, some of them bought, brand new.

Eeeeeevil![/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid1]Did you put them in right-side-up? [/colorost_uid1]

[Wade, The Sane Commodore]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]No no no, you should watch a series of movies that have captains commandeering their starships before they are decommissioned and then they go back in time and save the world, and then a redshirt dies, and um... Data and the Borg Queen... Water-polo![/colorost_uid0]

"DA! Povratak Kralja je VRLO DOBRO!"

Or rather, "YES! ROTK is TEH R0X0R!"

Watch it. Watch it. Watch it. Watch it. After all, you can't go wrong with 13 Oscars

Sorry. I just spent fifteen minutes explaining to my dad why the Croatian translation of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" only had four words instead of ten, because he was moogling at the poster on my wall and going "What language is [iost_uid0]that[/iost_uid0]?!" (My dad is sometimes a little slow to catch on.)

And yes, I do remember my The Ensign with great fondness. We were all so young then... [/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Remind me never to try learning Croatian. I thought German was hell, and that's a Germanic language. :eyeroll:[/colorost_uid0]
