Audio commentaries used to be worth listening to. I never thought they were just meant to exist in order to employ film historians. What the hell happened?
Here's a little news flash: cinema is a creative medium. Get some creative people on those audio commentary tracks. Is that too much to ask?
It's not about explaining your work, it's about the perspective you have.
I have been actively watching films for 30 years. I'm also a creative person. What I have found out is that cinema is not about the info. It's about imagination and curiosity. The filmmakers are faced with creative opportunities and problems. Cinema should be a playground for the imagination.
What is the point of making a blu-ray if it only has one commentary track from the point of view of a historian?
I don't care if the historian calls himself a "genre expert." That's not enough. Most of them are just boring farts who have no imagination.
One of the saddest things is that so many people are now addicted to information. They ignore everything else.
Historians barely even care about the films half the time. I can't listen to the opinions of some detached historian without jumping off a cliff. Next time you talk about "quality blu-rays", ask yourself: how much do they really care?
