    Most DVDs these days come with a lot of special features like commentary.

    Hey again, [chat]!

    Just attended my cousin's son's baptism. It was pretty cool, and for people aware of my religious inclinations: no, I did not bare my fangs and run screeching out of the church.

    The best commentary is the Tropic Thunder commentary.

    He really doesn't drop character until the end of the DVD commentary.

    And how he drops it is almost as amazing as the scene it happens in itself.

    yeah tropic thunder was damn good

    also commentaries, from what I've seen, aren't something only on super duper versions almost ever, because it's just an audio track, certainly never requires an extra disc. if they record one, it's on every version like 99% of the time

    Yeah, it's usually like "deleted scenes" and "behind the scenes" that make it on to the second disc in special editions. Unless you're at Wal-Mart buying those 5 DVDs in one package for 8 bucks, then you're probably gonna have commentary. I think the only way they wouldn't include it is if they didn't do any.

    Supermarket editions are generally just the film and nothing else.

    I'm trying to figure out what the last few films I bought from the supermarket are. Looking at my shelf, I know I got The Dark Night, Jarhead, two of the Pirates of the Caribbean films (2&3), and Underworld and sequels. None of which have commentaries.

    Yeah, I get (got, I suppose) most of my DVDs from Fopp. It is pretty rare for them to include anything but the film itself. Maybe subtitles in a few languages. Maybe.

    Mojo, it's great cause they talk about weird stuff they did during filming or explaining how they did stuff, or what was fun and stuff. Though the only commentary I listened to really was the LOTR films last. Basically, I got the extended boxset of all three films for my 15 or 16 bday and spent the next 3 weeks completely fucking obsessed with the stuff.

    I watched all three extended films, then I watched them all with the commentary, then I watched all the extra bonus stuff.

    I spent HOURS with that boxset - overall quite a successful gift really.

    Metro2033_wiki.jpg

    Metro 2033:
    is an action-oriented video game with a combination of survival horror and first-person shooter elements. The game is based on the novel Metro 2033 by Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky. It was developed by 4A Games in Ukraine and released in March 2010 for the Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows.[2] In March 2006, 4A Games announced a partnership with Glukhovsky to collaborate on the game.[3] The game was announced at the 2009 Games Convention in Leipzig;[4] a first trailer came along with the announcement.[5]

    This is a game that I'll be playing today, it's supposed to basically be Russian Half-Life and also very scary. I've decided to actually play this through, but I might pass out a few times due to fear.

    Worst thread.

    Isn't that what Halflife 2 is?

    Prince of Persia: Two Thrones - Complete

    Overall, very happy with both of the games (I skipped WW). The story plays pretty smoothly. I am a bit confused; at the very beginning of Sands of Time, the Prince says "I'm sorry, did I say the two of us? I meant three".

    That was never cleared up. Unless by some horrible retcon that line is meant to refer to the Dark Prince.

    By Russian I meant produced in Russia. Which may or may not be true because I think the studio is Ukrainian or something.

    No regrets.

    Like $25 for new releases.

    Not to mention that any old movie is $10 - $15.
