In the news

The first night after I got my new movie projector I had been out on the lash at one of Bas-Vegas' famous nightspots before coming home and deciding to try the projector out so I stuck the Ring dvd on and promptly passed out for the count.

When the film finished playing it went back to the dvd menu and like most dvd menus if you leave it for a few minutes it plays a video clip (to help prevent screen burn maybe?).

anyways about 4am I stir to a flickering bright light surrounding me and hear a white noise & grinding metal noise then I open my eyes fully and fucking samara is crawling out of a well on the other side of the room as large as life. in their wisdom the "clip" they showed was the film you watch so you get cursed.

I may have argggggghhed a little (and shit my pants)

You haven't lived until you've smoked too much weed, fallen asleep on the sofa while watching the Brasseye DVD, then woken up periodically to that music playing over and over again on the DVD menu, resulting in weird dreams of Bernard Manning shouting "it's a fucking disgrace" while you work out how to dress up as a school.

I'm 47 and remember DVD's.

But yes, that has happened after a coke and spliff night. Tended to be Spaced though.

I mean I was pretty 'spaced' at the time but I mean Spaced the TV series.
