Sony Pictures Home Entertainment announced the launch of MovieIQ – a new Blu-ray feature powered by Gracenote which allows Blu-ray users to access real-time movie information via Internet-connected Blu-ray players. According to their press release, MovieIQ enabled Blu-ray discs will enable immediate access to “continuously-updated information on cast and crew and explore relevant trivia such as production facts, music and soundtrack information all tied to scenes within the movie”

Sony Pictures will launch MovieIQ enabled discs starting in September with titles such as Angels & Demons, Easy Rider, Punch Drunk Love, The Quick and the Dead, Silverado and sex, lies, and videotape.

Movie buffs will probably appreciate this feature but it’s a bit of a yawner for me.
