I bought the Revenge of the Nerds boxset over the weekend because it was cheap and stupid. Turns out it's cheap and stupid so I did cinematic repentance for my act...

Double Life of Veronique - Criterion
Mouchette - Criterion
Jules and Jim - Criterion (I was holding off because I had the  Fox Lorber release and I never swooned over this film the way I did, say, Love On The Run)
At Close Range
State of Grace
Romeo Is Bleeding

and, new release Tuesday...

Rocky Balboa
MOH: Pro-Life
Blood Diamond (why? I dunno, I don't even like Edward Zwick...)

So Revenge of the Nerds box...yeah, that's going on the swap meet thread real quick.... cause I know how eager y'all must be to own every Revenge of the Nerds film, right? right?

For those with no region free player and you don't mind watching a movie on your comp, use VLC player and it will play any region and you wont have to change any settings, like powerdvd player where you are only allowed to change region settings 4 times then it locks.

not necessary. read on.

NEWSFLASH: ANY DVD PLAYER CAN BE MADE REGION FREE.

"how?" you ask,
"but region code encryption is more unbreakable than a twinky!!" you exclaim,
"MY GOD WHAT WIZARDRY IS THIS?!!" calm down.

let's say you own a home theatre system manufactured by Sony, named Sony Home Theatre System DAV-BC150. the "internets" enable you to apply this search string: "region free DAV-BC150" ok so that's a bad example. it's already region free. let's just search for "region free codes"... what is this that comes up? a million sites devoted to unlocking dvd players??

"but my dvd player is too old to even play DVDs!" buy a new one for $50 or less. now, prepare yourself, for it will be obvious to even the most dim-witted individual with an advanced degree in hyperbolic topology..

you have now stumbled into the third dimension
