Directors Commentary Rocks!!!

[Crynot]

I just freakin' love it when I get a DVD and it has some form of commentary on it. I literally spend 4 hours watching a movie because I watch it again in directors commentary.

Have you guys listened to the commentary on Fight Club with Norton, Pitt, and the girl - what was her name?? Helena Carter or something.

Did you guys notice that Norton kept having to cut her off cause she freakin' talked forever. They should have rethought that one through and kicked her off of the commentary.

My brother made an observation that Edward, Brad and That dood who directed it werer all in one room commenting on the film, and I guess Helena couldn't make it that day or something, soooooo...they made a commentary JUSt of her, and then mixed it in with the other three doods, so that's why nobody responded to her comments /ubb/smile.gif

That would make sense because it just sounds like Norton is tired of her talking and straight cuts her off.

check out the commentary by Steven Soderbergh and the head writer Lem on "The Limey" DVD, all they do is argue about why the film turned out the way it is, a total bitch-fest.

Also, P.T. Anderson's commentaries are the most in-depth of any recent director. Did you know that "Boogie Nights" being re-released on Aug. 29th has not one but two director commentaries? P.T. has so much to say. Also the re-release will have the most extras of any DVD release to date...

Hey Brock:

What exactly did Soderbergh say about the way the film turned out? I just caught it for the first time the other day (on video, doh!) and thought it was a pretty kick-arse flick. Did he not like the way it turned out?

Steve is happy with the overall feel of the film. Terence Stamp and the rest of the cast were also some of the highpoints he relates. The problems arose because the co-writer Mr. Lem wanted the film to be more linear and coherent and Steve's vision of "The Limey" was more non-linear and slower moving. Steve wanted it to be more of a thinking man's thriller like "The Hit" (another Stamp film also starring Tim Roth and John Hurt). Steve didn't want to make the sixties actor's (Pete Fonda and Stamp) to be just another showy gimmick...
