Night at the Museum: One Stupid DVD Menu
Reviews May 13th, 2008
Night at the Museum is a fun movie. Great for kids and adults alike, it’s a joyous romp around one of New York’s most beloved landmarks. We liked this movie a lot, and so did the viewing public. This movie made a buttload of money. This raises a question:
What’s up with the stupid DVD menu?
They made an attempt to make the DVD menu seem like you were visiting the museum. We uh… well, let’s just look at it.
The problem here is that the titles they gave the buttons were a little too out there to make sense on their own. It would take a lot of imagination to know that “Choose an exhibit” meant “Scene selection,” so they had to actually put it below in parenthesis.
It gets a little weirder, for some reason, “Choose a language” needed an explanation. Why? We don’t know. And then the worst one is “Learn more.” Seriously? Why not “Special exhibits” or something? Dream big with your DVD menu metaphors!
It’s funny - before I read your little thing there I checked out the image and went “what the fuck.. why did they do this like this?”
Hahahaha! And I bet the giant team of high priced experts who came up with this are still employed. Just makes you wonder if anyone asks a normal person to check things out before they go with it. Kinda like the menu for X-Men, that ridiculous motorcycle engine playing on a continuous loop makes you want to kill yourself after 5 seconds and it will keep going for an entire week or more if you like to leave DVD menu’s up for that long.
