OK, this is stupid, I'm sure. Last night I opened up a brand new DVD - the
Bourne Supremacy. I put it in my Toshiba SD-V391 DVD/VCR combo, and it died. The DVD screen said "Reading Disc" and froze. I tried turning it off and then on again, and at that point the thing was officially dead. I couldn't turn it on, I couldn't get the DVD out of the machine. Heck, it wasn't even passing the cable signal on to the TV!
Is it possible for a DVD to kill a player? Or was it just a coincidence? The machine had been working fine up to this point. My only conclusion is that Jason Bourne did some of his super-spy moves on the inside of my DVD player and now it's dead.
Damn, that's not nice.
And the disc is still in there. When I do get the disc out, I'm not sure if I want to try it in our other DVD player. He still might be angry.

Having had some experience at gutting DVD players, my guess is that yeah, Jason Bourne is in there, and he's armed. Not that he'd need to be. Proceed with caution.
You should have known better than to put your trust in one of Ming's super-special cutrate versions his sister shipped him from Malaysia. The first hint is that "Super Secret Top Agent Guy Jason Bourne Killer Rules the World" is not the same as "Bourne Supremacy".
