Having had a serious problem with the powerbook with a RoadTools Pivot
stand (10lb cats tweaking the case by sitting on it) ... I got a metal
bakers rack to distribute the weight and still allow air circulation...
put a small section of non-slip shelf material on it as a cushion and
stabilizer.... works great

Apparently it vents a lot of heat out the bottom and can't do that if
it's got no airflow underneath.
Watch another movie with the 'book on a hard surface and let us know
if
that improves things.
I have used my Lombard on my lap but only for less demanding tasks not
DVD playback and never noticed it getting hot but then I wasn't asking
much of the CPU either.
Really any laptop you should not use on a soft surface like a pillow.
Also all laptops vent from top and bottom, there was a story a while
back about someone getting burns on their legs from a dell laptop.
