Dreamworks: Don't talk to us.
Apr. 11th, 2010 03:11 pm<Mini-rant>
Went to the How To Train Your Dragon website today, as a followup to having seen the movie. Was confronted with Flash programming or some other coding obscenity that took 45 seconds to load on a broadband connection. Thought, "to Pluto with this."
Thought I'd mention this to Dreamworks, and encountered exactly the same bad-web-page nonsense at their home site. Yes, guys - we know that animation is your business. And, when I come to your web page, I want content and not cutesy-cutesy. If you want to show off your stuff, provide a separate area where I can go to see it, and then I'll expect the requisite megabytes of data.
And I'm mentioning this here, because they don't have a consumer response email address. Yes, it's a choice - but it seems like making it hard for your consumers to send feedback is probably Not a Good Idea.
