Last night we went to see Far From Heaven. We both really liked it. It wasn't your typical period piece. It was set in the 50's, but also done in the style of 50's melodrama, from the colors to the shots to the acting style and dialogue to the music, but the story went far beyond anything you would have ever seen back then. Great article about it here. One possible anachronism I saw though. Does anyone know if Gibson was making Les Pauls in '57? Today I hope to get together with my sound guy to go over the film and take notes on the final sound mix and remastering. I can't wait to hear this thing once it's all the way mastered because it already sounds pretty good. The other night I went over to a friend's house for a weekly movie night and we had a Trey Parker double feature. Started off with the South Park movie and then Cannibal the Musical, with the director's commentary track running. That has to be my favorite director's track ever. They continue to get drunker and drunker as the film progresses, several people fart into the mic, and there's even a few minutes of silence because they knocked the mic off. This got me thinking about commentary tracks in general and specifically what I'd like to do for commentary tracks on Washington Interns Gone Bad. Some of my favorite DVDs have multiple tracks, like Fight Club and Boogie Nights. The Troma ones with Lloyd Kaufman are funny, but he tends to tell the same old jokes in all of them, which can be slightly endearing in that kooky favorite uncle sort of way. The Spinal Tap dvd has a commentary track with the members of the band, in character, talking about the film as it's a real documentary done about them years ago and it's ridiculously funny.
