Pixelation problem when watching Blu Ray ... any ideas?

I popped in my Blu Ray of Django (PS3 slim is my player) and ran into a glitch. The movie was horribly pixelated (with blue-ish white pixels across the whole screen, though you could still the movie underneath it) ... but just the feature. The menu screens and extras played fine.

I'm a bit stumped in my troubleshooting. I threw in half a dozen other Blu Rays afterward and all play perfectly fine. I tried tweaking video settings and nothing improves things (even cranking things down from 1080p to 1080i or 720p). I tried playing other Blu Rays from the same manufacturer (Blue Underground) and they play fine. I don't have another standalone players to test, but I have a BR drive on my desktop PC. And ... oddly enough it plays fine on my computer.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Sometimes there are issues between a certain disc and a certain player. I'm assuming the firmware is up to date. Do you know anyone else with a PS3 Slim that you could try the disc in?

Yes! Thank you ... it sounds like a couple of posters in that thread are seeing exactly what I'm seeing. I was at another house (with a Blu Ray player and HDTV) over the holidays and watched Django ... and it looked fine. Just something funky with a few player-HDTV combos. My system is already calibrated so it looks optimally good to me, so I'm hesitant to monkey with my settings for one disc (out of all the ones that look good). Though it's nice to know that I'm not the only one in the world that sees this problem.
