robots ... Dannybot
Blake's 7 ... Blake's Junction 7
Broken Social Scene ... The Love Crimes of Gillian Guess

That last is a surreal, ironic portrait (think To Die For) of the sex-charged, fame-crazed society we know as Canada. BSS wrote the score, and there's also a fantasy sequence set to Josh Rouse's "Love Vibration." The other two are comedic shorts--you can watch one of them online, and a trailer for the other.

I was under the impression that you could actually buy them (probably imported from overseas) that were manufactured to be able to handle all regions. I have this vague recollection that US players are the only ones they actually bother to set the region for.

Then you start to run into issues with TV compatibility, no?

I read a couple of days ago that there are some region 1 DVDs that will only play their extras on a region 1 player; that it specifically looks for the tag that says 1 vs. a tag that says any or none. So annoying.

Oh. that does sound annoying. Grr.
