Fewer and fewer movies and TV series are being released in physical format, but streaming platforms do not provide enough for some film buffs, who miss the extras they offered
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.
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.
I never cared for “extras” anyway.
Just let me enjoy the film.

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.

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.
and how much could it possible freakin cost?? a single audio track with a buncha guys sitting around speaking unscripted?
