Plano man keeping Blockbuster alive

Eh, that's not really anything you couldn't do with google almost as easily. I mean real multimedia. I want to pause Lord of the Rings, click on a sword, and get the passage where the sword is described in the book. I want to click on a character and get a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the costume. I want it all.

Ted Nelson's Xanadu, but for film.

It's interesting that Lucasfilm ostensibly invested in the xanaverse but instead of doing something like this, they somehow became focused on creating an MMO instead.

Googling opens you up to spoilers.

I once confused "No Way Home" with "Far From Home" and ended up spoiling the one I hadn't seen yet. :/

That sounds like a bunch of work for very little return, not any new technology.
