What was I watching the other day with "What a piece of work is man..." was that Coraline?
Inara: Mal, this isn't the ancient sea. You don't have to go down with your ship. Mal: She ain't going down. She ain't going anywhere.

Yep.

That movie was so trippy and weird some of the pieces fell off in my mind and forgot where they came from.

Speaking of trippy and weird, I caught some of Beetlejuice yesterday. I forgot how bizarre that movie is.

Oh why don't I have Beetlejuice on DVD? I wan't to watch it right now!
Now I'm watching the special features for Burn After Reading. Can I just state for the record how much I love Frances McDormand?
I had fun watching the movie but I wouldn't rank it among the best Coen brothers work. I can't quite put my finger on what's lacking. I sort of feel like the entire plot was just a frame to hang the few brief JK Simmons scenes on. I'm used to being toyed with a little by these directors but I think the wonderfulness of the JKS scenes was overwhelmed by the awfulness of some of the other scenes. D wants to watch it again. I'm sure I'll have a different take after a second viewing. I didn't like The Big Lebowski the first time I saw it.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I was told that Ebert's commentary on "Citizen Kane" is excellent. That is not wrong. Some of the best commentary on a film that I've heard.
The commentary on "Strictly Ballroom" is really good, but Baz thinks far too highly of himself and wears a listener out with all of his talking.
I tend to watch extra features quite a lot when I rent movies.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Seth Green on Can't Hardly Wait remains my high-water mark for commentary.
No, wait! The film historian who does the wise and deeply affectionate commentary on the Criterion edition of The Lady Eve comes pretty damn close. But I think Seth Green is still just a bit better.

The first commentary I ever listened to was for Toy Story 2, and it remains to this day one of my all-time favorites. The writers/directors are all very funny and have a lot of great stories to tell. Toy Story 1 isn't quite as scintilating, though.

Dogma was always my favorite commentary (nothing special, just a bunch of friends having a great time) until I watched Tropic Thunder with commentary. If we count TV shows, the USian edition of Spaced has some real gems.
