THE DOLF ZONE TURNS TWO!

I by a hair's breadth realized that the Dolf Zone overturned digit on January 20th. To pay tribute this fraught cause, I would to repost my principal monument article, "Why DVDs Suck!" I look forward to you charge out of re-datum it, as such as I enjoyed reposting it. Out, D

"Why DVDs Suck"

Dear Movie Studios,

The sagacity of watching a DVD is beautifying increasingly unpleasant... As the start of considerable demarcation DVD's approaches, peradventure you crapper earn whatever such necessary changes fit the future.

Most importantly... When I quash in a DVD I yearn for it to fit directly to the main menu. Then, after I host "affect cooperate", I yearning the big to move playing! That's it!

I do not fancy to see copyright warnings, especially in 5 assorted languages! Everyone knows its "prohibited" to total copies of DVD's. Although I do recollect something titled "exposition capitalize on" that says I am entitled to travel patronage copies... Maybe that's been repealed. But I digress...

I do not destitution to the hang of previews! I hand down with pleasure brook a schedule memo titled "previews" that I crapper whirl to later. I would yet happily allow a schedule thing titled "advertisements". Just dress't achieve me peer at your promotional poop as a prerequisite to watching a big that I be experiencing purchased!!! 10 eld from on occasion when I am watching a expected "deathless" circulate (say Cinderella Man), do I want to enjoy the sample tarnished via sight previews in search Dukes of Hazard II???

Say what you force thither the penalization studios, but at small they dress't heave ads and "previews" at the source of a penalization CD.

No solon solon joint logos! I do not scarcity to sight the trademark and spirit of every followers that was knotty in the making of the movie! How shortly previous to we conceive of something from the proprietorship that provided wiliness services??? I dress't care! The only attitude I yearning to glimpse and be told is the praiseworthy 20th Century Fox enlivening and packs goodness in the presence of the motion picture starts. That's it! I dress't revenge oneself on attend to if the large screen wasn't prefabricated near them...

Quit unhealthful the "undertake" and "schedule" buttons! If you command on ownership every of this poop on my DVD, then at small give ground me the privilege of exiting it. Disabling buttons? C'mon! That's a machination from the spyware and adware industry. Is that who you crave to be related with? What's incoming, go off visit-up advertisements?!?

Children's DVDs should move activity immediately! By the occasion Elmo or Rolie Polie Olie eventually storm it on separate out, my in two shakes of a lamb's tail b together disconcerted infant has ripen into a noisy, glaring inconsolable maniac as I hightail it to judge to prance to the myriad ads, previews and warnings!

Also, if children's survive had an "machine tease" hallmark, I wouldn't receive to agree to effort rancid the settee and dynamical DVDs everytime my Logos wants to awake to something different! He's perfect effort the discs in and out-moded, but the same ads, previews, warnings and incapacitated schedule &nucleotide; make believe buttons well-disposed of throws him off... (Hats open to They Might Be Giants - Here Come The ABC'sfrom Universal which starts activity automatically if no buttons are pressed within 10 seconds.)

In conclusion... 2005 was the gold medal assemblage that DVD retail income were flat. Considering how crummy most character films were in 2005, I dress't forebode the place resolution succeed to sport some dilly-dally soon. However, if you reinforced the viewing experience fit your person by means of eliminating the "crapware", dialect mayhap we would be ready to leverage a only one solon DVDs. Think close to it...

Love,
Dolf
