Sherrybaby
I got Born into Brothels in the mail from Netflix and finally felt like watching it last night around 9:30PM. So I stick it in the DVD player and the TV says “NO DISC.” What the hell do you mean NO DISC?? Clearly, there is a disc in there. I try again. NO DISC. So I remove the DVD and examine it and there’s a fucking crack right down the middle. Damn.
So I went on Netflix and reported the problem and thought I would try their new “Watch Now” feature, which had worked splendidly at one of my temp jobs, but not so well the last time I tried to use it at home. I picked the movie Sherrybaby because I couldn’t remember whether or not I hate Maggie Gyllenhaal and thought this would be a good test. But lo and behold, the stupid media player crashes my browser THREE times! I contend that if the player worked with Firefox, this would not happen. But it forced me to use IE, which sucked as always, and I didn’t get to watch any movie so I spent the rest of the night – ugh – reading a book. I think I don’t hate Maggie Gyllenhaal, but now we’ll never know.
