Rats

For some years now I've made it a habit to celebrate the Fourth by watching 1776. Today, though, about an hour and a half in, the DVD started stuttering - pausing for a few seconds, resuming for a minute or two, and then repeating the process. I finally gave up. (It hadn't even gotten to either of my favorite numbers - "Momma, Look Sharp" and "Molasses to Rum".)

There are no visible blemishes on the DVD; I'll have to try some others to determine whether there's something wrong with the player.

Rats.

My sympathies. My DVD player doesn't like Park and Lord. The only two DVDs it has ever refused to play were Chicken Run (bought used from a local video store) and Wallace and Gromit and the Curse of the Were-Rabbit (library copy).

Every other DVD (new, used, rental, library copy) I've ever put in it has played just fine...
