First off, I haven't heard the Better Place comentary, but anyone who has should feel welcome to include it. I thought of this because everyone is always talking about the movies and everything, but when it comes to view askew DVD, almost as important as the films themselves are the comentary tracks, yet noone ever rates them. So I got to thinking, what does everyone think about the VA tracks anyway? Just wondering. Here is my list for anyone who is interested.
1) Mallrats - This is wierd because this is definately the lesser of Kev's films, but it combines the self deprication with the Kev and Ben banter.
2) Chasing Amy - Just a really cool cometary track, this edges out the Dogma track based almost solely on the fact that Smith and the gang have a better film to comment on (I give both films A's, but Amy just edges Dogma out)
3) Dogma - Not only is it fun to just listen to the banter, but this disk also has some great stuff on the struggle to get the film released.
4) Clerks: Uncensored - A wonderful track that goes really in depth into what happened with the series. Great fun, and the unbelievably cool and funny Jeff Anderson makes an appearence (has anyone else noticed how distinct and cool his voice is). All in all, you couldn't ask for much more.
5) Clerks - This was Kev's first experience with a comentary, and it shows. The pacing is a little ackward and sometimes things get redundant. Still, its funny to hear Mewes passed out on the floor, and all in all, its still better than most comentaries out there.
Thats the way I rate 'em, although I may be alone on that. Later...
