I’m primarily a DVD watcher. Actually, on near-all accounts. [the only shows I will occasionally catch on TV straight are stuff on the Discovery Channel or maybe the Food Network...]
I’ve got a gripe, or several, in point of fact. Fraking DVD menus. In no particular order…
Gripe #1: Ok, so if DVD menus NEED to stop looping the 20 seconds of music after a certain point. Almost all DVD menus suffer from this. I’m sure implementing this feature is an achievable goal. [WHY no one has figured this out yet is beyond me] If Blu-Ray is the new new thing, pls implement, kthxbai.
Gripe #2: If the DVDs are of a television series… there has to be some way to play through the entire DVD without having to select which episode specifically, then choose to play it. [die Firefly menus, die]
Gripe #3: I’m going to go out on a limb here and say, it’s likely that I actually paid money for that little shiny piece of plastic… why $diety why in the hell do I have to sit through 20 minutes of previews? It’s like going to the theater! I paid at least 10 bucks to get in and then by the time the picture actually starts… I’ve forgotten what I intended to see! …I’m exaggerating a bit here, but y’all get my meaning.
Thing is, most of you out there have already had some thought along these lines… yet the situation remains the same… I say rise up in the cafeteria and stab them with your plastic forks!
I think I might have to find a way to get into DVD production and fix it myself! Anyone out there got an IN?
*sigh* work. work. work…
