Ah, see, you need to step away from the computer and actually lie on a real sofa and watch a DVD, like I just did. ;-) (As I am recovering from some sort of stomach virus, I have the perfect excuse for lassitude.)

would oblomov watch dvds? surely they would lie about the floor with the cellophane sort of half ripped off...
