I watched/listed to Film and 40's last night and man that was really good! Pretty excited to watch a new one every week for awhile. It got me thinking about the one thing I miss most now that we live in a digital era is movie commentaries. I have always been interested in behind the scenes aspects in movies. Reasons for choosing a shot or line or etc. So basically I'm wondering if any duders also like movie commentaries? If so, which one or two are you favorite commentaries?
Personally, one of my favorite commentaries of all time is from Superbad. Its obviously not a technical movie but a certain moment in the commentary has made it quite infamous. The director of the movie Judd Apatow brings his daughter with him to the commentary screening with Jonah Hill in the same room and the rest of the cast in a different location. Halfway through the movie Judd and Jonah get into a verbal argument because Jonah keeps forgetting to not cuss in the presence of Judds daughter. The argument escalates until the point when Judd walks out with his daughter in the middle of the commentary and doesn't come back. It was a pretty surreal moment and one that has been debated online in terms of being staged or not. Either way, it still helps it stand out as being one of my favorite commentaries (if youre a fan of those movies it's also a good commentary because its almost the whole crew from the movie riffing on it and each other). What is your favorite movie commentary?
