What's the point of the second disc? Who really watches all that extra junk?I dunno, perhaps all the people who went to see the movie in the theatres and enjoyed the experience? An additional reason could be exclusive content. Just about any broadband internet user can download most every movie that's in theatres now as well as movies that aren't and waiting video release. It's illegal but it's happening and *anyone* can get *any* movie. As for spider-man specifically, I was able to view one movie file a friend had and the quality was better than VCD and pretty close to DVD (file size was 1.4 gig). It wasn't a shaky "camera-in-the-theatre-audience" type of recording either. The special features could be enough motivation for someone who has the movie file already to go out and purchase the DVD set.
I don't mean to sound like a cranky fart

Follow Ups:
I don't feel the industry has "pushed the envelope", and pushed the consumer, on the special features function, let alone the interactive possibilities of the DVD interactive technology.I feel there's some resistance, inherent in the consumer, in doing more, than just enjoying, what is really, only now, a passive experience of just viewing a movie. That's too bad, for us, really, because that means we, as the viewer, are not getting that much more out of it, than we did, with a videotape.
Currently, there is only commentary...passive enjoyment, again...
documentary "making of"'s, DVD-rom script to screen, videogaming, DVD commercial links-to-the-internet features.I mean, so what, right ?
We want more for our money, but there is no alure to participating, because we really don't know how to, when it comes down to it.
Hopefully SOMEONE will really push us into the next communications Age...King Crimson did with their "DejaVrooom", but I'm sure only the real life musician or the adventurous, took advantage of those features. What a waste on us numbskulls !!!
