    I love DVDs and Blu-rays. Some of them have been fantastic with special features. The Frighteners have a 4½ hour documentary. The Blade Runner documentary is 3½ hours.

    As the article states, even the menus were inventive and humorous. Spinal Tap is a good one, another favourite is UHF which was a flipper disc. The film was on one side, with the extras on the other. So if you tried to watch the extras from the film side…

    Now, unless a film is from a boutique label, studios can’t be bothered to release material like this any more. A press release can often sound very impressive, but with the disc in hand, it turns out each of the special features only last for five or ten minutes.
