I can't see a reason to buy a DVD player, since they go out-of-date faster than computer processors. So tell me, what FILMS are available on DVD? If you're not sure what I mean by Film, go to the "foriegn" section of your video store and select almost anything that has a subtitle. Only the best films make it to the usa. If you need a subwoofer to "watch" it, it's not a "film".
List of favorite films seen on DVD:
(show me yours, hint, it's not Austin Powers)
You sound like Rene Rodriguez, film critic for the Miami Herald.
If it doesn't have English subtitles, it's garbage. I actually
saw the French film translated "The Dinner Game" the other night
at the Miami Film Festival and it had to be one of the funnier
films I have seen in my life. Even when being read.
As far as Austin Powers goes, I believe this screenplay has
some all time great one liners and monologues, in a dark and
sinister vein, to date. Dr. Evil's ranting about "growing up" is
sheer genius. Don't knock it until you've listened to it a
couple of times. One is never a good reader, only a good rereader.
Another truism to ponder: Critics are only failed artists.

I went to the local Japanese video store and got "thh Three Stooges Take Miami" with Japanese subtitles. Now, while my wife is Japanese, I can't read a lick of Katakana, but at least we saw a real "film" instead of some garbage "movie" ( after all, it had subtitles !!!!! ).
