Rargh.

So, I bought this DVD, right... "The Expurgated Micallef Tonight." And it's pretty funny. You know, it has all those good memorable bits from the short-lived series. And it also cuts out most of the really, really terrible bits from the short-lived series, those being most of the interviews. Anyway, I was enjoying it... Until near the end of the first DVD it just locked up, and wouldn't play past a certain point, either in VLC player or Windows Media Player. Same thing happened about halfway through the second DVD. I really can't imagine what would cause that kind of thing to happen.

So anyway, I returned it, and the nice kind folks at the ABC centre in the QVB gave me another copy, even though I lost my receipt. I just got home, tried this replacement... And the freaking thing locks up in exactly the same place! Like, seriously, what the hell!?! Get it right, Shock! That's right, I'm naming you and hopefully shaming you, Shock Entertainment DVDs Company Place! You have reduced me to angry peeve-blogging! Rarrgh! That's the last time I buy your shoddy products, unless you release something else I want to see!

Anyway, not much chance I can return it again, as this time I ran a wheely chair over the case within an hour of getting my hands on it.


On a much brighter note, I'm totally going to Canberra tomorrow... Mmm... Canberra...
