I don't like on Spy Kids 2, whenever you select something from the menu and press enter, you are treating to a video clip of some skeletons clapping. Wow.

Then you obviously haven't looked at Spirit. The Absolute WORST in readabilityI have not seen that one. What's it like?
My 80+ Dad has failing hearing and loves the subtitle feature on most all dvds.
What he hates is trying to figure out how to navigate the menus in order to find the subtitle options.Spend $89 and buy him a DVD player that allows him to choose "English subtitles on" as a default. Then he wouldn't have to worry about it. Father's Day is coming up.
However, what often irks me is the packaging. I hate hunting for information like the year of theatrical release, length, audio tracks, aspect ratio, or whether or not the transfer is anamorphic. Most releases have these, but even the same studio changes how this information is conveyed from release to release. If all publishers and studios would get together and agree on the same format it would be wonderful.Terry, YES, you hit on another one. Sometimes I can not even find the Running Time of the movie. Not to mention there are more than a handfull that are not labeled as Anamorphic or Enhanced for 16x9 TV's, yet are. The industry needs a Standardized Features Grdi, where the first several fields are standard, (let's say on the left hand side of the grid, then the right hand side they can list other features like, trailers, featurettes, deleted scenes, etc. The standard fields should be:
Format: Widescreen, Full Frame, Open Matte, Pan & Scan
Anamorphic: Yes, No, N/A
Aspect Ratio: 2.35:1, 1.85:1, 1.78:1, 1.33:1
Running Time:
