To every idea a shelf...

Petrie's got such a crush on Marc Blucas, it's hysterical.

And Espenson's got such a crush on Danny strong (not that I blame her). In Superstar she keeps pointing out how handsome he looks in certain shots (again, not that I blame her).

BTW ... my nomination for the best commentary ever, goes to the John Carpenter/Natasha Henstridge effort for Ghost of Mars. Very funny and informative, with non-stop talking. :)

I like the commentary for Donnie Darko done by Richard Kelly/Jake Gyllenhaal. They're very informative and sarcastic. Big points just for Gyllenhaal's Christopher Walken impression. It's so interesting to hear Kelly's elaborate explanation and the deep mythology he's developed - although I pretty much ignore it and stick with my own vague interpretation.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Not such a fan of the Darko commentary, myself, since Gyllenhaal is, well, 20. My fave and nomination for best commentary is for The Limey-- I think the commentary is intended to tie into the themes of the film, actually. And Soderbergh just does incredibly informative commentaries in general.

`He combed his hair, Put on a shirt that his mother made, And he went on the air...'

Soderbergh -- bring me Traffic and Sex, Lies and Videotape -- two of my best of all time movies.

Have mixed feelings about commentaries and all the appurtenances of fandom, maybe because I'm new to the condition. On the one hand I lap it up, I want to know everything. On the other hand I want to be innocent of interpretation by others -- just want to watch it and experience it as it is, without being told where the seams are and what the recipe was. Just the way studying a novel or a poem at school can ruin it for you.

I can see my bank balance plunging further, but all in a good cause -- my season 6 DVDs have just arrived at the bookshop, all ready for me to flash my credit card. Wonder what extra goodies are on those.

Are you ready to be strong?

Best DVD commentary ever = Dude, Where's My Car?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

OMG! I haven't watched the commentary yet. Is it good?

I mean, I watch the movie once a month or so.

It's amazing, PMM. They all sound completely stoned througout.

Hee! And they keep talking about how this or that was an 'improv' moment.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I haven't heard the Dude one, but my current favourite is Can't Hardly Wait, or whatever one had Seth Green and his English accent. It also had the effect of making a film I enjoyed seem like it'd have been even better, if the directors had gotten more of their way. Enough that I want to see other stuff they might do.
