Movie night died because my 8 year old DVD player finally ate the disc
So last Friday I'm all set for a double feature, snacks ready, lights off, and my old DVD player starts making this grinding noise like it's chewing rocks. This thing has been with me since 2016 and it has survived 4 moves, but it finally grabbed my copy of Tremors and just would not let go. I sat there for 20 minutes poking the eject button while my popcorn got cold and sad. Ended up watching half the movie on my phone with the disc still stuck in the tray like a hostage. Is it worth trying the whole unplug and tilt trick or should I just admit defeat and stream everything now?
