I've never listened to a commentary. What's the point? You have to sit through the film, and if I'm in the mood to do that then the last thing I want to hear is someone prattling on about it.

It's mainly for film geeks, who like to get some behind the scenes info, once they've seen the film.

Some commentaries don't necessarily reference the film all the time, so it's quite easy to treat them as a podcast type thing.

Sometimes I listen to them after I've seen the film a couple of times and I just want to listen to it while I'm working.

It's not for everyone though.

::"What's the point?"

Yeah!  I mean, unless you're a film student, or just interested, or bored, or find them entertaining in their own right, or...

Wagner and Ezquerras commentary on the Judge Dredd special edition had me in tears of laughter throughout.

Wagner and Ezquerra did a commentary on the JD movie?  You're winding me up, right?

[Noisybast]

Happened at a Dreddcon a few years back IIRC.
*Really* wish I could have been there...

Wasnt it Alan Grant and David Bishop?

[Noisybast]

Could be. I wasn't there :)

[DavidXBrunt]

I was talking bollocks.

[Funt Solo]

Damn.
