Is PiP that important?

Thanks for your narrow-minded assessment of people that enjoy the trivia tracks. That's clearly why Pop-Up Videos on VH1 was so successful when it first came. I've seen many of the Star Trek movies several times, but I wouldn't really consider myself a "Trekkie" (don't go to Trek conventions, don't own a set of "Spock" ears, and never debated whether Kirk is better than Picard) and yet if I pop in one of the Star Trek DVD's I somehow manage to enjoy on occassion turning on the trivia track subtitles. Likewise, for The Abyss and other movies. I suppose that all just make me a fanatic (actually since "fan" is just a shortening of fanatic, and I consider myself a Star Trek fan, I suppose I am a fanatic).

As a fanatic, I also enjoy watching deleted scenes, extended cuts, and making of features (except for the EPK garbage). If I had to decide between a 2-disc version for $35 or a single disc version for $25 of a movie, I would always pick the 2-disc version.
