DVD's
Posted at 10:59 am by Barron | Rant

Don't you hate DVD's that have previews of other movies at the start (before you get to the menu)? I bought two DVD's recently, Lost In Translation and The Gods Must Be Crazy. The latter is done right: after the obligatory copy warnings, the DVD takes you immediately to the menu screens. Lost In Translation was the opposite. And that sucks. Preview upon preview. I think I would pay extra in order to get a "preview-free" version of a DVD.

And why do they put that loud THX part on the kids movies? It scares the bejeezus out of them! I have to think that the Pixar DVD's are best, because after the Disney and Pixar logos, the menu sequence starts right up. Just one more reason to love Pixar.

Comments...

 Mikey: Don't forget those magic buttons called "Menu" and "Next" on your remote. It's pretty easy to skip those previews, you lazy bum. :)

I agree about Pixar DVDs, though!
