      I feel the same way. I like the streaming/VCR experience of hitting play and seeing the media. Those old DVD menus that wanted me to mess with extras sucked.

        99% of DVD menus would have the “Play movie” pre-selected, letting you activate it with a single press of the Play or Select button.

          I have vivid memories of sitting through the copyright banner/FBI warning, waiting for the janky menu to load, trying to figure out which button had focus, starting the movie, sitting through ads for movies that came out years ago, and then the movie would play.

          Maybe my memory isn’t accurate, but I don’t miss DVD menus.

      Sometimes there are genuine jewels in there. Talledaga Nights directors commentary is absolute gold. Might be as funny as the movie itself. Adds a layer of lore you didn’t know you needed.

        Fair, I’m not convinced I do need that layer.

        I guess if people are into films as a topic, or even a specific film, then that’d be interesting.

        Not for me.
