Nothing fills me with 2000s nostalgia like a good old fashion DVD menu.
From DVD menus, previews, to box engineering, a ridiculous amount of expertise and deliberate design was invested in selling the public on new forms of physical media during the 2000s.
What are the qualities, quirks, and merits of physical media during what is arguably the last era of its existence? Is there still a point to having a massive collection of DVDs and Video Cassettes when I can just rent Tokyo Drift on iTunes and watch it right now? Are there any strengths in physical releases compared to streaming video? Absolutely. Physical media, and DVDs in particular have artistic merit and valuable content beyond the movie itself. Before you even press play on your remote, you’re absorbing a powerful, deliberately designed, and sadly underappreciated form of art. Behold, the art of the DVD menu.
