A lot of the signs where in German. A big banner in front of the stage talking about the 20th Anniversary of something or another. It was cool to see! The plot may have something to do with the German Kaiser then?

STUPID! People have ALREADY been trapped on ski lifts. That is why the chairs have numbers on them, the lift operator on the bottom calls up top and says which chair has the last person on it. That and a lift operator also goes DOWN as the empty chair goes up making sure no one gets stuck! Finally, the lift operator up top typically snowboards or skis down the mountain and can do additional checks. Also the idiots in this film don't even have their jackets zipped up all the way! STUPID!

Now if the concept were for USB 2.0 (since most blu-ray players have those), and SD cards I could see the concept working. Pay a flat monthly fee of 10 bucks and rent as many HD (not Standard D.) films as you want. Anything less is not worth the wait, or the gas.
I wonder if the machines are protected from giving out "free" viruses with your movie rental?

Hmmm, I could see them expanding the ID universe quite a bit. Set in the future, maybe 100 years after ID4. Start with a history flashback, the Chaos of the invasion and Humanity unifying against the fear of a common threat. People reverse engineering the Alien technology, and improving some areas, then the second alien wave arrives....and finds a world not taken over, but filled with REALLY pissed off (though overmatched) humans (throw in human regeneration tech, and an young, but old, Will Smith to kick some ass). Maybe do some fun things with orbital and moon defense bases. The aliens take a huge punch at the beginning, but they absorb it and come back with a vengeance! All hope seems lost, then the crazy Heroes of earth (the aforementioned Will Smith) have a plan to save us all then...BLACK SCREEN! Finish it in the next movie!
