I'm really looking forward to getting Netflix
That whole return by postpaid mailer when you want to thing is just SO good!

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh, with you all the way Kathy. But worse than the Matrix I extras? Were the Harry Potter I extras. InTERMinable blahblah, some of it.

I love (clueless) commentary tracks on really bad movies. So pompous and self-important.

I wish HP:PoA had Cuaron commentating--it would have been interesting.
The best commentaries usually involve two or more people in the same room, although if the editors do a good job, they can get a good single commentary track out of two or more participants being recorded separately. The two tracks on the Princess Bride SE disc aren't bad (Reiner and Goldman), but would have worked much better if they had been edited together and the more extraneous bits clipped out. The Willy Wonka one is cute (the five kids), but involves more on-the-set stories and obviously less stuff about the creation of the film. I will say that the designers track on the LotREE sets always put me to sleep, more due to Alan Lee's soporific voice than anything that's being said.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
ita - where did you pull that quote regarding Oliver Stone from? I have to do a thing on logic fallacies and that would be a good one to use, but I need the source.
lexine ... it's from IMDB. The "Studio Briefing" section dated December 1, 2004.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, I read your question on blackberry and couldn't post then -- IMDB, and they get their stuff from Studio Briefing, so that's the copyright.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
See, my problem with Oliver Stone is that he's really not very good. I think he's only done two films that I liked, and the rest were such crap ret-conning of history that I just start twitching.

Natter might be a better place for this question, but I'm too far behind in that thread, so: I want to get the My So-Called Life DVDs for my mother for Christmas, but when I checked Amazon, they only had them used, starting at $229!! Didn't they just come out last year, for a reasonable price? What happened? Is Amazon just on crack? But there's a comment on the page from someone who says that people are scouring eBay for the DVDs and paying upwards of $250. That's just insane. Help!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Once I drove to downtown Minneapolis with a friend to see The Doors (is that what it was called?) My friend got stoned first, but I didn't because I was driving. My friend was giggling at all the silly parts. I so envied her stoned state.
I don't remember much at all about that movie. But the parts with the spirit of the dead Native American appearing to Morrison come to mind, as well as the scene of him getting blown while singing in the recording studio.
Oh, and I remember thinking at the time that Oliver Stone wanted to be Jim Morrison.
