DVD players are confusing as hell if you want to use them to their full extent. I won one in a draw, and in order to get what's known as 'The DVD expierence', you end up having to control this thing with three remotes. You have to hit three buttons to turn it on and off ... evil, ir is >.

Que?

You must have some freako DVD, then... three remotes? Huh? They're very easy to use, I think. I mean, you can't zoom in on images on a VCR, for one, or choose multiple crazy angles (well, these features also depend on the disc), or watch Joe Versus the Volcano in Japanese with Portuguese subtitles...

I assume Britt's is NTSC, and so possibly a bit wacky.

I'm told the complication level and cost have dropped considerably in the last year or so. As usual, my main problem will be The Goddamn Cable Box.

Really pretty much the only way to ever watch Joe Versus the Volcano...

And the only way to watch anime: Metropolis in French with Thai subs.

(Seriously, how else can you get six episodes of Sailor Moon S in two languages for $25--fully legit?)

*sobs* I don't know!

I have to admit, Akira was much better unsubbed in Japanese when you had to make up your own story...
