Audio Commentaries

Bumbaz · 12-30-2002, 12:35 PM

Thought I would start a new thread about good / bad Audio Commentaries. I love the commentaries included on DVD's I think it was a great idea and enjoy listening to most people that made the movie.

The Good

True Romance - Quinten Tarrintino did a great commentary, it was interesting because he was the writer and he went into great detail about how he got started. The differences between how he would have filmed it and how Tony did, but did a great deal of gushing for Tony who he loves. Also great little stories about some of the speaches in the movie and where they came from.

Kevin Smith movies - always very entertaining, they even have a few that are video commentaries like on mall rats where you can see them while they are talking about the movie. Always great little anicdots and Mews is always drunk and sleeping or making an anus of himself, quite amusing.

The Bad

Braveheart - Mel Gibson, unfortunately I don't think he did much prep work before doing the commentary as he mostly pointed out what was happening on the screen and then staying silent for 10-15 minute periods

Hopefully if he does a few more he will learn to watch the movie before doing the commentary so he knows was kind of stuff to say

Anyone else??

I recently saw the audio commentary by John Boorman on the Excalibur DVD. Very interesting and insightful, Boorman was a pretty smart guy.

The four hobbits together were hysterical. Christopher Lee was really good. Everytime he spoke it was usually to compare the movie to the book. Liv Tyler needed to just shut the fuck up.

I like the commentary with Richard Kelly and Jake Gyllanhal(sp?) on Donnie Darko.

The lembas bread part of the commentary with Legolas ownd hehehe "Lembas bread! once small bite is enought to fill the stomach of a full grown man." All of the commentary in FOTR was great lol.

He did the same thing on SNL when he hosted. Actual wizards as we all know prefer fucking goats but I guess they just can't act.

Ian McKellan is very out of the closet. He big into gay rights and stuff now, I guess.
