So my copy of the Guest film turns out to be defective as well.  First Ye Bang ge Sheng, and now this.  I'm investigating alternatives while I cry inside, but in the meantime I'll probably move on... to that movie with Pauly Shore in it, the 1988 Friedman/Rydall flick.  I really put my money where my mouth is when I say I'm going to watch something bad next, don't I?

Maybe I'm being unfair.  Maybe it's a genius sleeper hit in disguise.  We'll just have to wait and see.
