I have a cold. Nothing serious - just a bit of a sniffle really. Anyway, I thought I'd look after myself and wrap up warmly and watch a DVD. I looked through my collection and found something light and fun. It wasn't until after I started watching it that I realised just how appropriate it was that I chose Cold Comfort Farm. Well I was amused.

There is something about the DVD of this film that I really like. Something that other production companies should take note of. When you put the disk in the drive, it immediately boots to the main menu. No preliminary anti-piracy notices and the like, no trailers for other films and no overblown animated opening sequences for the production company that you cannot bypass. You can go from putting the disk in to watching the film in just a couple of seconds. I appreciate that.

Oh yes, I have a special hatred for Fox for that and all the other things under that banner. So many sins from so many branches and yet so much good viewing too.

Didn't know about Disney since I haven't watched anything of theirs for ages but that is something to applaud.

For all the criticism they get, Disney are actually pretty cool.
