Memento LE DVD navigation guide

Posted on by

The new Memento Limited Edition DVD probably has THE most infruriating DVD menus ever. It’s fucking ridiculous. I really hope it doesn’t turn into a trend: having you jump through hoops just to access the extras and stuff. If you didn’t already know, the menus on the LE DVD is set up like a psychological multiple choice test where you have to pick certain rights answers to access certain features. It’s frustration, annoying and very irritating.

I JUST WANT TO GET TO THE SPECIAL FEATURES DAMMIT.

I hear the Harry Potter DVD does the same too. Making you do all sorts of shit just to get to the bonus material. Very very annoying.

Anyway, here’s what you have to do to get to each feature.

Disc 1

  • Watch to view the film.
  • Read to choose subtitles (choose Y for question 3 or 4).
  • Listen to choose audio format (choose Y for appropriate format).
  • Comments to hear commentary (choose D).
  • Chapter to see scene selections.

    Commentary variations: branches at 1:33:52 (end of chapter 13). Takes you to Title 2,3 or 4 (chapters 14 – 16) ONLY if commentary track is selected. Otherwise, it will stay on Title 1 and commentary becomes garbled after 1:37:15.

    Disc 2

    (* indicates a feature not advertised on the DVD packaging)

  • Stills/production sketches gallery: compass – C-C-C-C
  • Journal*: compass – C-C-C-D-C-C
  • Supplement menu*: clock – C-C-E
  • DVD Credits*: clock – C-C-C-D
  • Chronological edit of film*: clock – C-C-C-C-C – pictures 3,4,1,2
  • Memento Mori short story: clock – C-C-C-C-C – pictures 2,1,4,3
  • Director’s script: book – C-C
  • Anatomy of a Scene featurette: skull – C-C-C
  • International poster art gallery: globe – C-C-C-C
  • Props gallery*: binoculars – C-D
  • Trailers (US/international): binoculars – C-C-C-C-C
  • Concept art gallery*: binoculars – C-C-C-C-D-A

    Ring card on stack: A = left, B/D = forward, C = special feature, E = right

    Other ring cards: A/B = left, C/D/E = right

    2. I like the new limited edition DVD. Really unique way of showing the film and it’s special features. It’s kind of tough if you don’t know what you’re doing, but… that’s just too bad lol. They can just cheat anyways, so who cares.
