John Fante - A Sad Flower in the Sand

[mjp]

I couldn't find this thread with the search function...

Ouch.

I improved (quite a bit) the default search yesterday morning, by the way, by changing the way the threads are indexed. Search did suck in the past, which is why I added the Google search. But it is a lot better now.

 

[Hosh]

To be clear--it likely has nothing to do with the search function itself...rather the buffoon (me) working the keys. If memory serves I'd clicked "User CP", and then tried putting "a sad flower in the sand" in the search...but, hell, I could've misspelled the title or something... I've used the serach function before, and it worked well...not sure why I couldn't make it go this time.

So--for anyone who has a copy: despite the Dutch company, the DVD is in English and can be played on my DVD player? I don't need some goddamned techno-fix to see it? Because I couldn't find this thread with the search function, so you can imagine what would happen if I had to try to resolve that kind of techno issue...

Kinda iffy on that. It plays fine on my Mac, but not at all on my PS3 (and don't know why), but I haven't had an actual DVD player in close to two years so I can't vouch for how it works on one. I figured it would be NTSC, but since the PS3 has some issues, I can't say for sure.

 

[Hosh]

Thanks for the info. It gives me some pause--but, hell, I'll probably get a copy as soon as the taxes come back!

If it plays on a Mac, it will surely play on a PC via VLC media player.
