I don't know if this was a topic already made (I tried a search, that feature doesn't work the way I need it to - it doesn't search Topic Titles when I tell it to, it gives me 84 pages of results when I don't have that time, I need 20 or less! Besides, there shouldn't be enough topics with the words DVD Feature in the title to fill 84 pages!), so I'm starting it.



The DVD: Videodrome - The Criterion Collection (2-discs)

• Features:
• Documentary - Forging the New Flesh (chapters 4-6, about 15 minutes)
• Audio Interview - Effects Men (all 4 chapters, 19 minutes)
• Bootleg Video segments - Samurai Dreams (with audio commentary on, director David Cronenberg), Transmissions from Videodrome (with audio commentary, Michael Lennick / Mark Irwin), Helmet Cam (with audio commentary, Michael Lennick)
• Photo Galleries - Publicity Stills, and Marketing
• Theatrical Trailers - 1, 2 (twice), and 3 (maybe 4 times)

I actually just finished watching The Golden Girls: The Complete Fifth Season. Six episodes contain commentaries; two by Bea Arthur, two by Rue McClanahan, and two by Betty White. Sadly, Estelle Getty is not able to participate, due to her declining mental health.

At any rate, it was fun watching these episodes, even if the ladies didn't really comment as much as I would have liked. It was like sitting down with the "Girls", and watching the episode with them.

The last bonus feature I watched was the two featurettes on Dinosaurs: The Complete First and Second Seasons.

Please ignore my comment on the first post about the Search feature - I finally realized what I was doing wrong.

Hehe, it took me awhile to figure out Search too, Laz.

Anyway, the last bonus feature I watched...I think it was commentary on "The End of the Line", Episode 9, Series 2, of Coupling. Of course, once Steve started talking about shoes, I turned it to the regular audio, and forgot to turn it back. It's hilarious hearing him yell "WHERE ARE YOU GOING? WHERE ARE YOU GOING? WHERE ARE YOU GOING?"

Video-wise, I think the last bonus feature I watched was "Musicals Great Musicals: The Arthur Freed Unit at MGM", from the Singin' in the Rain 2-disc edition.

I've watched all the extras on Justice League , Batman Beyond and the Superman DC series.

I got the Napoleon Dynamite Special Edition the other day so I watched the deleted scenes and one of the making of featurettes.

I believe EGJ created a Disney Bonus Feature thread, but there never has been a non-Disney one, so this thread will be used for good.

Oh yeah, I watched all the deleated scenes and the 18-minute documentary on Chicken Little. Though the documentary is short and slightly disappointing, I actually appreciated the movie MUCH more after watching it. And I'm one of CL's biggest supporters!

The last bonus feature that I watched was the interview with Madeleine L'Engle on the A Wrinkle in Time DVD. She is my favorite author, and this is my favorite book. I don't see why this book had taken so long to be made into a movie. I mean there was a Harry Potter movie only 3 or 4 years after the book was published. For A Wrinkle in Time, it took 62 years for a movie to be made. I guess it's just IMO, but I think A Wrinkle in Time is far better than all of the Harry Potter books. I first read it in 3rd grade, and absolutely adored it. The first "big" word that I learned was: mitochondria (sp?). After Supercalifragilisticexpiadlidocious (sp?) of course. I adore this book, and I think the movie promisingly portrayed the book, and all of it's splendor (sp?). I love all of L'Engle's books, well at least the one's that I've read.

I imagine the last two I watched were the supplements for Chicken Little (well documented on this site) and Doctor Who - Genesis of the Daleks. They were the last two I reviewed, so I managed to watch all the bonus stuff. The latter was quite impressive, with two hour-long documentaries, a commentary and some other neat stuff.

I also check out a few of the rare live performances on my Bill Hicks - Sane Man DVD.

Just finished off two bonus features on Growing Pains: The Complete First Season.

The audio commentary on New Line's Desperate Living DVD, midway through chapter 3 to the end of 18.

Last night I watched the "SoapTalk: Dallas Reunion" on the Dallas: The Complete First and Second Seasons DVD set.

I just watched the bonus features for 24, which isn't much, but they had an alternate ending with commentary and it was cool to hear why they didn't use that ending and why they used the one they did.

Simpsons S6 - but I probably won't listen to the commentaries for another couple of years...

The easter eggs on Dinosaurs: The Complete First and Second Seasons.

An interview with director Todd Haynes on the SBS Movie Show (Australia) on the R4 Safe DVD.
