I love the few DVDs I have that just play the  movie when you load it.  I 
can't remember all the titles, but one is a "pan and scan" of Full Metal 
Jacket.  No extra crud.  Load it and it plays.  What a novelty!  And it's a 
good movie that needs no "value added".  I can't stand all that bonus junk. 
I wonder what percentage of folk listen to the director's commentary, the 
2nd, 3rd and 4th languages, read the umpteen subtitles, watch the deleted 
scenes, the biography on the "best boy" and "key grip", hear the music 
transposed down to the correct key, with original instruments, with sackbuts 
in surround, "smell-o-vision" (AKA Aroma-Rama), and....the best feature of 
all...multiple angles?  For the life of me, the only genre I could think of 
that could use multiple angles is porn, for the great acting of course.
