I agree. I can recall The Abyss DVD having a fairly elaborate menu as the disc offered both the theatrical and extended version. Frankly, I just want to start the film as quickly as possible once I insert the disc into the player.

As for so-called "special features", some DVD's even listed 'chapter selection' as a special feature. I even still have some discs which have "bonus material" listed on the menu options, and when you click on it, disappointingly all you find is a trailer. Why they couldn't just say "trailer" on the menu instead, I don't know.
