I've decided that my favorite part of the lord of the rings special features is the clip where Viggo Mortensen wraps shooting and then starts headbutting all the stunt people
Thank you like man whatever happened to just like people getting stoned and seeing the colors.
I always figured this was the point of the "stargate" sequence in 2001: to give the norms a taste of being high, and blow the stoners out the back of the theater.

Viggo is definitely a person. I always imagine the real Viggo is the tatted up russian soldier from Eastern Promises who puts cigarettes out on his tongue and fights men naked in bath houses. That's my head cannon Viggo.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

I desperately want to go back into time to the filming of two towers where they camped out and viggo just started fishing for dinner

I'm constantly discovering new and interesting ways in which my brain is broken, one of the fun perks of being alive
Anyway my first glancing read on your post was that Viggo Mortensen was there on 9/11
the special features of the lord of the rings feel, at times, like viggo mortensen propaganda
there's a bit where they were like, "one of the horse trainers/riders was sad because she couldn't afford to buy the horse she'd worked with for like three years and then viggo mortensen found out and he just fuckin' bought her the horse and wouldn't let her pay him back"

Didn't he break his sword goofing around with it? So its not all titties and tequila.

I don't know about that, but he did break his toe because Peter Jackson made him kick a helmet like forty-five times

Fires caused by ents can't cause Istari stone to melt! Orthanc was an inside job!
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
I don't think Elizabeth Olsen is trawling blogs and shaking her head at criticism, and I doubt she actually thinks about this shit when she's not on a press tour. This is a stupid response, for sure, but someone almost certainly came up to her going, "what do YOU think about people who say the MCU isn't high art?" because the number one purveyor of "people don't give Marvel enough respect," takes are sites that run entirely on hot takes and outrage clicks.
I wanna circle back to this real quick not to re-stoke a fire (hopefully!), but to agree with you
It was a stupid question. The difference between high and low art is largely arbitrary and often classist. Asking the question at all is trying to stoke a stupid fire, it's console war bullshit, it's only meant to incite conflict.
I nonetheless think it's lousy for a life-long extremely rich person to invoke (fake) working-class concerns, while demonstrating a fundamental misunderstanding of said working-class' worldviews and experiences. I ain't getting on Twitter and calling for her cancellation, I don't think she's a bad person, I think she got asked a stupid question and gave a stupid answer. I like to gently remind folks that when a rich person says a thing that sounds nice, it doesn't mean it's actually nice. That superficial gestures are often an accidental metaphor for less-spoken-of power disparities.
It ain't fair to put actors in these hot seats, to make them speak to how culture views art. They're talented craftsmen, who do an impossible thing and do it well. It isn't their job to talk about the intersection of art and commerce, they shouldn't have to speak on it. But nor should they be praised for defending the honor of people who didn't ask for their honor to be defended, in ways that conveniently shield actors from criticism.
Edit: If Elizabeth Olsen said crews should be paid more, that unions should have stronger rights, that work days/weeks should be shorter, that'd be one thing. She said that reviews are what disrespect crews. Fuck that, imo

The majority of us here give stupid answers several times a day without even being asked a stupid question first, so, like, I get it.

So I had a weird experience at my showing of Doctor Strange. Trailers are rolling, dude in front of me, probably late 20's ish?
Super super stoked for Avatar.
Super stoked for Thor.
Jurassic World trailer plays all the way through. Dude is losing his shit.
Gets to the end of the trailer, which they show only the classic T-Rex skeleton logo and no title, and he no shit turns to his buddy and says:
"Dude, what movie is that?!"
Friend chuckles, then double takes. "Wait, seriously?"
"Yeah, that looked freaking awesome."
"Uh...Jurassic World?"
"Oh man, that looks dope as hell. Do you think they'll make a series out of it?"
The friend was just dumbfounded.
After Doctor Strange, I was behind them leaving the theater and the dude was making is friend google Jurassic Park.

Oh, sure it, could be fun. But what if he doesn't like it?
What if you find the absolute unicorn who has no awareness of Jurassic Park, and they hate it?
That shit would rattle me to my core, I'm being entirely serious here

I yearn for the days where I had the time to just watch and listen to every commentary track/special feature on a DVD, like back to back. Not even good shit, just like "oh, Last Samurai and 13 Days have a couple commentaries each, sure why not?".
If you want to know hell listen to any commentary track on a Farrelly Brothers movie.
It is some of the least interesting shit imaginable, just them pointing out each and every one of their friends they brought on for a walk on part. Really cool for their friends—I'd do the same! But really I wanna know more about the craft of transitioning from Jim Carrey pooping on the lawn to a close-up shot of soft-serve ice cream being poured, damnit! That's the good stuff.

I'm not sure if it's my favorite, although I very rarely listen to commentary tracks so it might be
But there's a track for Scott Pilgrim that is just the actors who played all the ancillary characters (Aubrey Plaza, Kieran Culkin, Anna Kendrick, and Mark Webber) having to record at eight am while hungover the day after a cast party
It's not good in many technical senses but I find it deeply enjoyable

Disney will obliterate such distinctions.
Wish upon a star, friends, that this day will be soon.
Notice: wishing upon a star violates Disney's intellectual property. Cease wishing upon a star immediately
I will actually do this in about 2 hours, don't tempt me.
high art is spaceballs
low art is also spaceballs
This checks out: space is up high and balls are down low
Mel brooks is a master of biting satire who also realizes that dick and fart jokes are hilarious

Mine is probably the Spaced commentary track.
Wright and Pegg just absolutely nerding out about camera framing and movie callbacks in every scene.

The Venture Brothers commentary tracks are great.
Can't not mention Ben Affleck on Armageddon.
I like all the Kevin Smith commentsries he just knows how to tell a story and gives cool insights into how movies are made.
