Elspeth belatedly realises that DVD extras are cool.

Dude, why have I never watched the commentaries on DVDs before tonight? These things are awesome! (Note to anyone out there with the LXG DVD: check out the feature on the making of Hyde--they did it all with make-up and prosthetics and the extremely enthusiastic FX guy's explanation of how is really fun to watch). They've got FX stuff, and set stuff, and costume stuff, and damn, now I'm gonna have to break out my PotC and LotR DVDs and watch the extras on them, too.

The extras on the PotC DVD are excellent and are the basis for some of the fanfiction you read around here too--a lot of the deleted scenes should have been left in the movie. And the audio commentary by the authors is extremely useful.

Audio commentaries can be really interesting. If I like a movie I usually listen to the commentary to get the inside scoop on how they made it so great.
