Let me tell you studio guys something (AGAIN!), because too many of you clearly don't understand this: The ability to look up a recipes, or check an actor's IMDB profile, or chat with friends, or watch content on your iPhone... all while watching a film on Blu-ray... doesn't excite ANYONE who is actually passionate about film, Blu-ray or, hell... even iPhones for that matter. Film fans don't look at ANY of that crap, and even the few people who love that kind of thing may sample it once and never look at it again. And yet the studios are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to create it, manage it, QC it, trouble-shoot it and maintain the servers for it. I have no doubt that having these features makes the studios feel like they're really innovating technically, and making Blu-ray feel different and more advanced than DVD. And I'm sure such things look great on a marketing spreadsheet or press release. BUT FANS OF THESE FILMS DON'T GIVE A SH*T ABOUT ANY OF IT.
