Check your Pulp Fiction CE

I just watched my copy of Pulp Fiction CE, It starts to show artifacts & freeze on chapter 12. When I checked the disc there was a white ring in the center of the disc. Is this DVD Rot? Does anyone know if Miramax will replace it or should I just order a new one?

A D-VHS may look better than a DVD, but I'll never know cuz I'll never watch the filthy media.

I'm checking my disc. Still kinda hard getting past the combination grey and black bars, personally.

if on your dvd player, you have a "black level" turn that down to low and it should fix the problem (did for me, I had it on high)

Did anyone else have a problem with the discussion about hash in the car being out of sync? The soundtrack is off on my PF CE.

I have a white ring around the center, but it's not DVD rot, it's just the bottom of the image painted on the DVD.

dont tell me...you have not tried it yet on other players, right? until you do....dont panic. try the dvd-rom or videogame system...or another decent player.

it also helps to say whay model player you are trying it on...as people with that model will wish to know. do these things...then report back. good luck.

I've tried on 2 players(Panasonic RP-62 & Pioneer 414), my computer & Xbox. All do the same thing, some worse than others.

I rechecked the DVD the are no fingerprints or dirt on it. It worked perfect last time I watched it.

Give a call to Buena Vista's DVD line and ask for a replacement, tell them your situation.

At worst you'll have to pay $10 for a replacement.

I can't help myself - I ****ing love this movie!!!!!

Don't be tellin' me about foot massages - I'm the foot ****in' master.

I think you're gonna find yourself one smilin' ************.

He'd be damned if any of the slopes were gonna get their greasy yellow hands on his boy's birthright. So he hid it in the one place he knew he could hide something: his ass. Five long years, he wore this watch up his ass.

What now? Well let me tell you what now. I'm gonna call a couple of pipe-hittin' ******s, who'll go to work on homes here with a pair of pliers and a blow torch. Hear me talkin' hillbilly boy?! I ain't through with you by a damn sight. I'm gonna get medieval on your ass.

We should be ****in' dead now, my friend! We just witnessed a miracle, and I want you to ****in' acknowledge it! -- Okay man, it was a miracle, can we leave now?

I don't wanna hear about no mother****in' ifs. All I wanna hear from yo' ass is, "You ain't got no problem, Jules. I'm on the ************. Go back in there, chill them ******s out and wait for the calvary which should be coming directly."

Oh, you ready to blow? Well I'm a mushroom-cloud-laying ************, ************! Everytime my fingers touch brain I'm Superfly TNT, I'm the Guns of the Navarone. In fact, what the **** am I doing in the back? You're the ************ who should be on brain detail! We're ****ing switching, I'm washing the windows and you're picking up this ******'s skull.


I'd like that. But that **** ain't the truth. The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be a shepherd.
