Let's talk DVD's - Enhanced with DisneyFastplay!

That's how it should be always. The main feature should begin immediately, and I'll press menu if I want to see it.

Some DVD menus really are ridiculous. At the beginning here will be an animation, usually winding down a poorly rendered CGI hallway, that takes you to the main menu. Another animation will take you down another CGI hallway to see a sub-menu, and sometimes you have to watch another one to go back to the main! It's so pointless.

Im either way with whether the movie or menu pops first but oh god I remember the Lion King dvd being the worst offender of it. A full minute of zazu flying across the savanna till he gets to pride rock and then he talks to the audience.

And to my knowledge you can never skip the beginning until the option to play shows up.

I dumped my last CRT TV a couple of years ago. It was at least 25 years old and I had worn out 2 remote controls to it.

I still have a CRT from 2005 that I still sometimes play old video games on, but I haven't watched a movie on it since 2009.
