I just joined the Modern Age the other week when I bought a DVD player (that isn’t in a computer: I have two of those). I have to say, I’m sold. I may never go to a theater again, though since I have only been once since 1997, that’s not saying a lot.
I like everything about the experience: the quality of the picture and sound, the control of the presentation (no more tedious trailers and promos for coming attractions), and of course, the extras/easter eggs.
I signed up for NetFlix as well, so it may be time to catch up on all the stuff I missed or never saw.
And this review of the state of the art in the Times looks worth a read. Imagine my surprise to that adult entertainment is working on interactive features, once again pushing the envelope (how else did streaming video get so good, so fast?).
Brave New World‘s feelies can’t be too far behind . . . .
“We already shoot our girls against a black background for our interactive DVD’s,” Joone said. “That way, when we perfect hologram technology, we can cancel out the black background and bring the subject into three-dimensional space. Men will love it. They’ll sit in front of their giant-screen TV, turn off the lights and the only thing lit will be the girl.”
