Mal ,'Heart Of Gold'
Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.
I've heard that too, which is what made the commentary so jarring.
That's a charitable, and no doubt more accurate, deduction Matt. Maybe it was just the excitement of the moment.
And, to be honest, I have an unfortunate bias when it comes to commentaries. I want them to talk about what I want to hear about!

I loved John McTiernan's commentary on the Thomas Crown Affair...not because he made himself look good (he really didn't), but because it was so bleeding informative.
Which episode did DB direct? I'm totally memfaulting on it. (I assume the initials are SP, so I suppose I could just go check my season 5 set).
Perhaps he was just caught up in the excitement, as every firsthand report I've ever heard about him mentions what a great and down-to-earth guy he is?
Probably, as your firsthand reports match with the ones I saw last year from a friend who had family working on one of his projects.

"Soul Purpose."
I wonder if he was trying to be over the top in a goofy way, because I've only ever heard he's absolutely lovely, too. A friend of mine was a valet at one of his parties, and couldn't say enough nice things about both him, and his father. She is a valet at a lot of business functions, and she's not particularly star-struck, and has also told stories about some real asshats.

Aside from other people's tales, I've had maybe 10 minutes of face-time with him myself over the years. Some of them back in early '98 when he wasn't yet a good enough actor to have fooled me if he were really a jerk rather than jovial and friendly.

That's my take on it. But in an audio-only format, it's sometiimes difficult to get the goofy across.
I think the DB commentary was scripted and he read it.

I think I'll go with this, because I really want to think of him as a nice guy, and not incredibly full of himself. I'll call it an experiment gone bad, but good, because if you're not willing to fail, you're unlikely to really succeed.
That sounds so cliche. Oh, well.

That's interesting. Huh. What leads you to that conclusion?
I wonder how often that happens, now that you mention it.
