Milkman delivers Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 4, 2011 -> 11:40 AM) Tons of scratches does not = minute, in my brain. If what constitutes as "minute" for you is anything that looks like it hasn't had an ax taken to it, then yeah, we have different definitions! I'm just saying that the scratches aren't deep (usually), but that there are often tons of them. Almost like it was gently swiped with a Brillo pad.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 4, 2011 -> 08:33 AM) Beane didn't bring in most of those guys. That doesn't mean they werent' on the team. The stadium wouldn't hang banners of only the superstars that Beane brought in and neglect the other ones. Plus, Beane took over in 1998, which means he drafted Zito and Mulder. And Giambi was not a Beane guy either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milkman delivers Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 4, 2011 -> 10:58 AM) minute scratches + dvd no working = hardware Just got my third straight DVD that skips. This one, I couldn't even see a scratch on it. I cleaned it and tried it on all 3 of the DVD players in the house (an old one in my bedroom, my slightly-older-than-one-year-old player in the living room, and my roommates brand new PS3). It skipped on each one of them. f*** Netflix right in its ass. I am done with it. Blockbuster, here I come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamshack Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Oct 4, 2011 -> 11:10 AM) Perhaps we have different definitions of minute. The scratches won't look like they were made by a knife, but there will be tons of them. I've played plenty of DVDs with minor-looking scratches like that (borrowed ones, not sure how people let that happen) that worked without a problem. I have only had one Blu-Ray from Blockbuster fail to play for me in 3 years. I really like Blockbuster, although I don't think they are as far ahead with the streaming as Netflix is.

caulfield12 Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 REAL STEEL is a heckuva movie....a lot better than I expected going in. Between Moneyball, The Blindside and Dolphin Tale, lots of underdog movies these days are making it big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwritecode Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 My daughter just started watching our Lion King DVDs again for some reason. I'm assuming she saw the commercials on TV because they re-released it in theaters in 3D. So I was checking out IMDB and found this out for the first time today. The voice actors for the King and Queen in the Lion King were done by these two people: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a mailbox right at the corner of my block, so I'll drop a movie in at night. It's picked up at about 5 in the morning, but doesn't get to Netflix until the next day.

I did the two DVD option, but I'll probably change it to one when they're about to start charging Since you can bring Blockbuster movies back yourself and exchange them if you don't feel like waiting for the mail, I'm probably going to watch a ton of stuff (TV shows) over this month. I have a store relatively close to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 The Rock got paid a lot of money to play the lead role in Faster and probably had about a dozen lines to remember. Good for him. Decent action flick. Kept me entertained. Also saw Unknown recently. It was alright, kind of hard to follow at times and a unexpected ending.
