I changed the title of this thread so it can be more about all Ringo cultural references in general. Anyone have any more? Put them here!

Okay, so I finally saw "Linda Linda Linda" today (the original topic of this thread before my intrepid co-moderator tweaked it).
Loved the movie, until the end! All the way through I'm totally into it. No melodrama, no slick gimmicks, just a well-told story. I'm loving these characters, enjoying their quirks, and by the time they're rushing to get to the stage at the end, in the pouring rain that's drawing a huge crowd into the school auditorium, I'm ready for a dramatic explosion. Then the fucking DVD glitches out! I missed the last 7 minutes of the fucking movie! This whole thing is leading up to this one performance of this Blue Hearts song, and this all-girl amateur band I've gotten to know like my own sisters shows up late in rain-soaked clothes, and the suspense of whether or not they're going to pull off a performance, and how, is nearly killing me. Then just before they get ready to go onstage, the DVD dies. Fucking Netflix! |

Put that disc in a newer Plextor drive (a real one - some Plextor models are rebadged BenQs or whatever), run DVD Decrypter with maximum retries, and break that movie like it was Junji or another one of Shiina Ringo's boy toys.

Lol, that's a very high-tech solution. I'm sure it would've worked, but I was so pissed I went old-school on this DVD.
I boiled it. Made a pot of boiling water, dunked the DVD in there for about 3 minutes, dried it with a soft paper towel, put it back in the player......and it worked! I got to see the end, and it was sooooo worth it. |

*blinks* You what?!
Where did you learn of such a remedy! I can't imagine cooking my JCHI if something went wrong.

Yeah, seriously...what??? That doesn't hurt the disc label or anything?

I read about it, but never tried it until now.
Once the water is at a boil, turn off the heat, and then very carefully put the DVD on the surface of the water, data side down, label side up. The label won't get messed with. Let it sit about 2-3 minutes, remove with utensil or quick fingers, dry with paper towel, and voila. I wouldn't vouch for this unless I could testify it works, and I assure you it does. I went to the very chapter Linda Linda Linda wouldn't play before, and it played without a single freeze or skip. This is where I learned this method: http://forum.dvdtalk.com/showthread.php?t=447554 It should work with video game discs as well: http://forum.teamxbox.com/showthread...hlight=Boiling |
