Three entries in one week? Wh-wha-what?!?

It's 5 pm on Friday and we have officially survived the week without Gavin. And CK and I each had 50% more ORF today! Good times all around.

And, now, a story about bad times...

Several weeks back, I decided to purchase "Capote" on DVD. I like Philip Seymour Hoffman, heard he was great in the movie, no one invited me out that Friday night, etc. Everything came together perfectly for a one-man movie night.

Until I decided to open the DVD.

Now excuse me while I channel Seinfeld...

But what's the deal with DVD security? First you have the plastic wrap to negotiate. You can either use your fingernails if you're a girl, or you can use a knife if you're a guy and/or slasher. So now you've got a knife in your hand and you're trying to cut the plastic. Visions of slicing your finger off dance in your head, and you start having flashbacks to "Three Fingers Brown", your high school wood shop teacher.

And then, you finally get past the plastic wrap, and now you have the two security tabs that are equally impossible to remove. It takes me 3 hours to watch a 2 hour movie. And since when did DVDs become high-security items? Can't you buy them right on the street for 5 bucks, or go online and find them for free? Let's focus on airports, people.

And what's the deal with Dunkins Donuts? They take out the middle part of the donut, and then they charge me extra to buy it back as a munchkin?

...end of Seinfeld.

So, I successfully get the plastic off the "Capote" DVD, and what do I find on the cover? A four-inch long piece of hair! How the heck did that hair penetrate security? And whose hair was it? They haven't automated DVD production with robots and stuff? Where's all my tax money going then?

As far as the movie, I didn't care for it. The hair ruined my night.
