Sounds like you blew a fuse (or tripped a circuit breaker, depending on how new your service is). Call the super and let then figure it out.

Natter 53: We could just avoid making tortured puns
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I've seen 4 of the 10 controversial movies, have read/heard enough about 4 more to feel as IF I'd seen them and own another but have not yet watched it.
I remember going to see The Last Temptation of Christ in downtown Chicago with my sister and mom a few months after it had opened, and there was one lone protester in front of the theater. I felt sorry for him in a way.
I remember thinking at the time that Scorcese inviting religious leaders to preview The Last Temptation was a stroke of genius. Much as I love that movie...and I still do...it really would not have been much of a draw without the controversy. Of course, it worked for The Passion in the opposite direction and ensured that I'll never personally lay eyes on it.
I'm pretty sure I saw Last Temptation with my church youth group.
Which church? Unitarian, by any chance?
I've seen Natural Born Killers, JFK, F 9/11, Birth of a Nation and Clockwork Orange.
Of those, I only really think NBK and F 9/11 are that controversial. BoaN's message and plot are absolutely abhorrent, but I don't think there's any controversy about that. In school it was introduced as one of those things like Gone With the Wind that are important for whatever scholarly or technical reason, but otherwise pretty crap.
NBK
The one I have not seen and know very little about except for the stars and director.
Fried. Completely fried. Send brain. And some confidence too. I'm dealing with a lot of silent walls.
I think that A Clockwork Orange being banned in the UK until the 21st century counts for a bit of controversy. But I'm biased, since I love the darned thing. In fact, it's where I first heard "Singing In The Rain," and it's now a happy-go-kicky-people-in-the-face song for me. I understand it's happy for others, but why kick a puddle when you can kick a person?
