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 use one of my computers' DVD drives as my region 2 player. I'd never needed to watch US DVDs on it anyway, since I've got an actual DVD player for that. At the moment, I'm limited to watching them at the computer, but I could always drag the machine out to the living room and hook it up to the tv, since my video card's got rca & svideo outputs. Pretty cheap option when you've got the computer anyway, since most machines come with a DVD drive these days, with player software bundled. Just put in a region 2 disc early on, and it will allow you to lock to region 2 (most software players seem to let you switch regions a limited number of times before crapping out on you).

Perhaps after we replace my laptop we'll relegate the old laptop to region 2. that would work pretty well. Thanks for the tip!
