Criterion Collection: Taxi Driver Laser Disc with director's commentary tack

[Brendan M.]

I hear that Martin Scorsese did a commentary track for Taxi Driver that obviously isn't on the DVD but was done for the Criterion Collection back in the days of laserdisc. Does anyone know where I can download this in MP3 format perhaps? I'm having a very hard time trying to find it on google.

I don't know, but on a similar note, I taped the laserdisc commentary to THE GAME with Fincher. If you're interested, maybe I can try to find a way to transfer it to digital form.

I've got it somewhere as an mp3 (split into 30 parts iirc), I'll have a look for it.

[Brendan M.]

If you could pull that off, it would be more than amazing.

[NathanRomano]

I agree. I'm also interested in that Game Commentary.

[Brendan M.]

Hey Cronos, any luck with finding that?

[Cronos]

Yeah, sorting it out now, will PM you when it's done.

Question, there's a bunch of silence in the beginning. Do I start it at the same time as the movie or when the music starts?

You could use a DVD recorder and just watch it on TV, or there's some places around here that copy your VHS to DVD's. You could look for one of those

Yeah, my viewing ended up being a little out of synch. The beginning credits are silent up until the car drives in, so I'm guessing that's what the silence on the commentary track is from.

PLEASE, if someone can shoot me the audio for this, I would be forever indebted.

[NathanRomano]

I'll send the link FilmJunkie, I have a quick question...

Is this the one with the Commentary?


EDIT: The link was taken down... I don't really know how to re-up or anything like that. Sorry man

[FilmJunkie1114]

Hey Cronos, do you still have it?

[NathanRomano]

I can try to send a RAR file in an Email

[FilmJunkie1114]
