IUG posted:Gravity Falls had secret in character commentary tracks for some of the episodes, but the best was a hidden episode where the main character Dipper finds a photo copier that can copy living things. He photocopies himself so there's like 8 clones running around. The secret commentary is just by the voice actor Jason Dipper who plays him talking about the episode, but as more Dippers show up, so do more copies of Jason Ritter to join the audio commentary. Tell me the secret

I'm at work for the next 34 minutes and my wife is napping in front of the TV with the bluray player. But it was easy to find, just press the arrow keys in random directions on the menu for that episode until an object is highlighted. It won't take you more than 10 seconds to accidentally highlight it and play. EDIT: Here it is with some others, stolen from a Reddit post: quote:Special Features Bonus Content: (Hover over specified option. Click in that direction. The cursor will change position and turn into an encoded letter. The letters spell ‘Gravity Falls’. Unknown if their position is important.)

Lizard Combatant posted:The audio commentary for Conan is good listening with friends and beer, if you want interesting tidbits from Milius and a stoned-out-of-his-gourd audio descriptive commentary from Schwarzenegger that is. Schwarzenegger also seems to regularly forget that Milius is speaking for the audience's benefit and keeps replying "I know" whenever a detail about production is mentioned. tied for my favorite with cannibal the musical conan seems like arnold had never actually seen the movie and this was his first go, him losing it when he punches the camel lol cannibal is also amazing because they all get way too drunk as it goes on and start saying things they shouldn't like how the horse was named after trey's exgf as a dig to get back at her

As soon as you put it on you can just hear them having a conversation about the menu with Nigel reading the options and being completely confused by the concept of a DVD. the making of on army of dead was fantastic cuz he's very up front about how much the studio hosed with them and has a tone of gently caress it lets get into this..love bruce i hate that none of the evil dead making ofs have any interviews with sam though. everyone else, no director.

Fans of Sleepaway Camp should listen to the commentary on the Scream Factory release with Felissa Rose and Jonathan Tierston and superfan Jeff Hayes. It's good, insightful, funny, and it's wonderful to hear how many of those actors stayed in touch and remain close friends all these years later. Probably avoid the other two commentaries, though. They're awkward and lame.

Wet Hot American Summer used the commentary technology to just add lots of farts to the movie. This is the pinnacle of commentaries. I will brook no contrary arguments.

UCLA put up a restoration demo for Mystery of the Wax Museum ahead of the upcoming Blu-ray from Warner Archive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVrriovENz0 Same post house (Roundabout Entertainment) that handled the amazing restoration of Detour last year. Worth noting that "Mystery" survives only in the form of one single American print (found in the late 60s) and a French dubbed print found more recently. It'll be the second 2-color Technicolor feature to hit Blu-ray after King of Jazz.

For some reason I really enjoy the commentary track to Anvil: the Story of Anvil probably because the same enthusiasm is on display as in the actual documentary, though it is recorded right before the band's popularity really took off as a result of the film. I think a fair amount of the Bond movie special edition commentaries might be the lamest cop outs. I know that Living Daylights was just the audio from old cast interviews cut over quasi relevant scenes in the film. Don't recall which other movies in the box set did this when they were unable to get some one to do live commentary. And finally maybe I will go back and listen to the the Night at the Museum commentary track from the film writers. The first few minutes was them going "why would anyone want to listen to us, they must have slipped on the DVD remote." Had to go something else at the time but I got far enough in to find out it was adapted from a kid's book, sorta.

I was giving him the heads up because I'm pretty sure they were sold out before. Plus with the current price and the additional sale discount it's going to be cheap. I ordered Sonny Boy yesterday and waiting a while doesn't bother me.

I mean, Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant from Reno 911 wrote those movies, so it’ll probably be a good time.

Replaced it with this one from LG, which I've gotten a lot of use out of, especially since I've turned my old MacBook Pro into a "desktop" computer. https://www.amazon.com/LG-BP50NB40-...tronics&sr=1-10 The one I have doesn't write Blu-ray discs, but it was this price, so it's an upgrade.

Nice, I'll prolly snag one for when this Pioneer drive eventually kicks it. it's so far the longest lasting drive i've used tho, i had some that would fart out after only 100 rips. thinking about it, this has prolly 600-800 on it so far - a real champ
