DVD Commentary?

Wed Nov 29, 2006 12:10 am

When you get dvds, do you ever listen to the commentary?

I do sometimes, depending on what it is.

Never, I don't really find it interesting. Although sometimes I'll watch the commentary for some movies I REALLY like, like LotR.

Nah, though sometimes what they're talking about is interesting, I can't go for 5-10 minutes without shutting it off or falling asleep. D:

I don't want DVDs that often anyway, I suppose.

Only once for the Clerks cartoons, but I like that feature even if it goes unused on 99.9999% of my DVDs

Almost always. My friend and I can(and this is quite sad) quote large chunks of the commentary for the Simpsons season 4(Best Season Ever).
I usually watch the movie/episode and then immediately afterward watch with commentary, so I don't feel like I'm missing the dialogue too much.

Only if I've heard that the commentary's really good. I love the Futurama DVD commentary; it's hilarious. :)

Definitely depends on the DVD; but mostly if its comedy. The Scrubs ones are pretty good, and I enjoyed the Family Guy ones as well. But other than that :P
I think it's harder for commentary on a movie, since you have to sit through the whole thing again, and it gets boring after a while. It's not so bad when it's a 24 minute show.

Very rarely. I only listen to the commentary if I'm bored and I've watched the movie enough times that it's not irritating to have someone duscussing something in the background/foreground/whatever.

When I need to analyse the film :P

Only on Kevin Smith films.

Rarely, rarely, rarely...

I've only done it once and it was with A Walk To Remember. I never listen to it.

I did it once with School of Rock.

Rarely. I love the special features, but commentary is just far too long for someone with my attention span to, well, stay focused on.

When I can't get enough of the movie, or I'm desperate for them to explain what the heck they were thinking at any given moment, esp. if it's an adaptation of a book I like.
