Most DVDs go to a menu screen after you’re done hearing about ‘the cloud,’ how cigarettes can kill you and seeing a preview for the latest animated film.   Some, however, give you an option.  ‘Pick a side,’ they say.   I’ve run into this twice recently – with the G.I. Joe  DVD and The Break-Up  DVD .   At first I thought it was a cool concept.  Maybe, if you pick Cobra’s side, there’s an alternate ending?  Or maybe some special features --- like an in-depth look at Storm Shadow’s sword training.   If you pick the side of the Joe’s, maybe there’s a look at their stunt training.   No, no, and no.  I went with Cobra and it takes you to the exact same screen, with the exact same features, as it does when you pick G.I. Joe.   Same thing with The Break-Up .
