I went over my self-allotted budget of $220 but will rectify that by selling some old stuff back.

I'm a little proud of myself for resisting the urge to buy a bunch of blus on Black Friday, I really need to be saving money right now and it was a hard day with so many good deals going on.

I just got Fantasia. It says it's got Destino on it. That's the Salvador Dali thing, isn't it? I remember really loving that.

I want to watch Fantasia so bad but I have to wait for my old friend from preschool to be available. We watched the movie almost every day for something like 2 years so there's no way I watch it without him.

It feels so 80's or early 90's to be political.
I'm not a huge fan of the Alien films, but I got the new anthology as an early Christmas gift (thanks Amazon sale) and it might be the best designed set I've ever seen.

Just picked up Fantasia, and cannot wait to watch it. It was on sale at Best Buy so I saved like 15 bucks too.

I set my laptop to Region B to play Metropolis (3 more changes available). Awesome disc. MoC's presentation is pure class.


Are there any external Blu drives that can be modified to be all-region?

No one modifies PC drives. Region unlocking can be done via software. AnyDVD HD will do the trick, and possibly other programs as well.

The version of PowerDVD I have can have it's number of changes reset by deleting a file, no need for anything else.

The following movies have been removed from your Queue:

So I guess Netflix is simply going to ignore the Criterion upgrades.

I wanted to enjoy the region lock screen too but my Metropolis disc (MoC) hasn't come in yet. It's not that they don't know where I live since I have the T-shirt but has anyone not gotten the disc from the pre-order or who to contact?

They seem to be having a lot of issues with this and said to email them if you haven't received your copy by tomorrow.

Yup, they do... especially at Black Friday time. I'm not sure why anyone would leave the house to wait in lines for hours out in the cold when Amazon will pretty much match or beat any deal.
