BK: Is your other player the Oppo 93? Which region "mod" do you have? Mine's the one that plugs in either on the back or inside, and I have it on the back. You do the code-and-restart thing to change BD regions, and it's always all-region for DVDs.

Yes, the Oppo 93 - I can't remember the instructions that came to do the all-region thing - it's on a paper I have in the den, but I've never changed it after I set it. That player always works fine - but the cheap five year old Samsung is done.

I can also recommend cheap Panasonics. Mine was wonderful but I passed it on to someone when I got the Oppo.

So, just in case we have the same add-on:

Remove disc, close drawer, wait for "No Disc" message on screen.
On remote, press "DIMMER" three times, then press "MUTE" once, then press "1" or "2" (for Region A or B).
Don't do anything else. Just turn player OFF.

Turn it back on, and Bob should be your uncle. If he isn't your uncle, then it's probably a different mod, but let's hope...

On my Toshiba multi-region Blu-ray player, the DVD regions switch automatically. There's nothing that you need to do. For Blu-ray discs, you turn the device off, hit "1" for Region A, "2" for Region B or "3" for Region C, then you turn it on. That's it! I've actually tried it with a disc in the drawer and without a disc in the drawer and it worked either way.

Well, the fresh hell has been coming in the door nonstop since I got home from physical therapy, and it all has to do with a regrettable oversight. Hopefully, it will be easily resolved by the close of the work day.

TOD

Favorite Richard Burton films

BECKET
WHERE EAGLES DARE
THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD
WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF?
THE NIGHT OF THE IGUANA
THE MEDUSA TOUCH

When I first saw THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD in 1965 I really disliked it, finding it too downbeat and depressing, Now, it's become one of my favorite films. Strange how perceptions change over time. Usually it works the other way round and I find myself wondering whatever it was that I liked about a film which I saw when much younger.

Happy Monday, all!

Thankfully, for me, it's my day off after the brutal 5 show weekend. We learn later today whether we will extend this piece, and I have mixed feelings about it either way. We shall see...

But I am excited to see the new Kritzerland show, which I only wish I could have been a part of. Only today, though, would I have known if I could have been free for the rehearsals.

TOD:
One of my favorite films of Burton's was BECKETT.
And I had the good fortune of seeing him do Equus live in his 10 week stint on B'way. Marion Seldes who taught at my school, and who was in the production, got us all tickets in the onstage seats. It was stunning to see him close-up and watch him savoring the work.

Spy films.... so many, but just a few here:
Always loved THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR; many of the Connery BOND films.
Newer: The BOURNE TRILOGY (the books were awful but I loved the films); SKYFALL
And as quirky and odd as it was, I enjoyed SNEAKERS, mostly because of the cast, and the humor.

A Regrettable Oversight.

That should be the title of my latest memoir. Or something.

Thanks everyone for your nice comments about my photo yesterday. I honestly wasn't fishing for comments - just thought it would be fun to share. Because that's what we Hainsies and Kimlets do here at HHW.

Didn't Think You Were Fishing.....The Photo was Wonderful! That Is All !

I have not seen enough Richard Burton films to have a favorite. In fact, I think that CLEOPATRA may be the only RB movie I have seen...and that was when I was a child.

Spy Films.

MBarnum · « **Reply #80 on:** September 16, 2013, 02:10:32 PM »

Oh yes, favorite spy films.

Hmmm...

I rather like some of the Italian spy films of the 1960s, particularly those starring Ken Clark, Brad Harris and Tony Kendall, or Rodd Dana.

MBarnum · « **Reply #81 on:** September 16, 2013, 02:11:14 PM »

I have been absent from HHW for a few days and it would appear that I have missed a very important birthday. I will be back to make amends.

Well that should have been to DR Singdaw, not Singday. But I kind of like Singday, so I will let that error stay.

I liked the new album. It still get the feel and some of the sound of the original, which was so charming to begin with. I hope you like it.
