I miss when special editions used to have work put into them. All types of shyt included.

One of my favorites was the Memento DVD

Studios actually put effort and imagination into most of the DVD cases/artwork. Most blu-rays don't even have artwork on the damn disc :francis:

Love DVD commentaries.

But I will say one of the worst DVD commentaries I ever listened to
was Smokin' Aces director Joe Carnahan BS'd around on the commentary
and mainly talked about stuff that didn't relate to the movie.

Martin Scorcese ones are good.
Goodfellas
Belly
Gangster flicks.

I almost prefer it because it's chill and you can still hear audio or caption. Also Educational

Listening to Hype Williams on the Belly commentary makes
me wish that movie would've panned out the way it was suppose to.

It's was so many things he had to cut out the movie.
DMX was originally suppose to kill the Pastor in the movie
Yeah he also wanted a theatrical release include 3 alternative endings, maybe over ambitious.

I LIVE IN A CARDBOARD BOX!
commentaries are great, sometimes its just the guys fukking around, other times I learn mad random shyt bout the behind the scenes

Anchorman commentary FTW.

Andy Richter showing up in a commentary for a movie that he had no part in.

I like downloading commentaries and listening to them while I'm doing other stuff. I found a treasure trove of stuff a couple weeks ago.
