Ugh! What are the odds?

Crystalina wrote: I just popped in Memiors of a Geisha. I wanted to watch it while Evan was sleeping and before Izabella came home from school. I made a cup of coffee, curled up on the couch and had the phone and clickers both whithin reach so I wouldn't have to move for awhile. I was chilling out while I can.

So anyway, I watch the previews and then the movie starts and I get into the first 2 minutes of it (already loving the movie) and then I hear from the screen..."Mine is a story that should never be told."

And then...

The stinkin movie freezes! It won't do anything. I even tried to click over to the next scene but it won't do anything. Everytime it gets to that part it stops.

So much for enjoying a movie in the middle of the day. And I guess she really didn't want me to hear her story.

DH is going to replace it for me this afternoon so wish me luck on the next one (that I'll have to watch later which means I'll probably fall asleep.)

TheOaf66 replied: so sorry, maybe that is a sign that you should not watch it

my2monkeyboys replied: Don't you hate that! You should try going to the scene menu and click on the 2nd scene to start. You'll miss a few minutes, but nothing terribly important (I've seen it). Also, try wiping off the disk from the middle towards the outside, never in a circular motion.
Hope you get to see it soon! It's really a pretty good movie.

Crystalina replied: Hmm, do you know something I don't? I would hate to waste 2 hours of my life. The first two minutes were really good though.

Calimama replied: Oooo I loved that movie. I hope the next copy works!

MoonMama replied: That stinks, so sorry sweetie...We had a DVD (Hellboy) that will never play on our movie room DVD player. Always says "no disk", but plays fine everywhere else.

sparkys2boys replied: Ah, that really does suck bigtime. Sorry that you didn't get to chill out and watch it. maybe next time.

3xsthefun replied: I hate when that happens! We've had a couple DVD's do that to us before. I hope the next copy works for you.

Nina J replied: That sucks

It's a really good movie though

Twelve Volt Man replied: Sorry to hear that. Likely, it is your choice of movie, though! Try First Blood or Roadhouse... they should work just fine!

CantWait replied: I loved that movie, so sorry it didn't work out for ya.

Crystalina replied:
Twelve Volt Man, from your choice of movies you must be a man.

I've never seen First Blood I don't think. It sounds like a Rambo movie though. And I've seen Roadhouse enough times to gag a maggot. It was good the first couple of times. Hey, I can't wait to see Blood Diamonds though. It has blood in the name.
