Am I the only one who gets annoyed to find that the only extra features on my brand new DVD are scene access and *oooh* interactive menus? I was led to believe by sites anonymous that my DVD of "Heathers" would have "exciting extras!!"... Oh yes, thought I, the original ending deemed too controversial by the studio all those years ago. So what were these "exciting extras!!"? Well, I bought "Heathers" yesterday from HMV and it had scene access and interactive menus. Exciting? I nearly collapsed with the euphoria of it all.
I mean have you ever seen a DVD without interactive menus or scene access?
And worst of all the carlton range of films that come in the silver cases... they site "English(audio)" as an extra. Now I don't know about you, but I'm pretty damn glad they deigned to include the audio track for us all, so that we could watch the film with sound, not every company is that generous.
If you are a DVD manufacturer then listen carefully. Just because your crumby poorly produced DVD has nothing in the way of deleted scenes, out-takes, commentaries, photo galleries, documentaries, games, DVD-ROM, etc, don't try and compensate by sticking "scene access" and "interactive menus" in a little box labelled extras on the case. No one's fooled by your pathetic attempt to pretend that time and effort went into the transfer of the film on to disc. SO stop telling me that you have included extras on the DVD when you quite clearly haven't... and don't go pretending that the film's trailer is an "exciting extra" either. Only one trailer holds that honour and it is Spinal Tap's Cheese Rolling trailer.
How would you like it if your cereal box came emblazoned with "amazing free gift" all over it, and then the "amazing free gift" was plastic packaging for the cereal? It's not big and it's not clever, so stop doing it. Before I lose my temper...

And, yes, you are correct, it is stupid saying scene access is an extra
What next? Will they say the end credits of the film are a special feature?

If the menu wasn't interactive, how the heck would we use it?
Man, I've been searching for "interactive menu" on my DVDs.
I thought it was an easter egg.
