Can't wait to listen to this, I will do when I get home. I'm going to listen to along with the Blu Ray. It's tied favourite with Undiscovered Country for me.

Montalban is freakin' awesome as Khan. Him and his chest.

Re: The Wrath of Khan

Maybe it's just me but the commentary abruptly stops during a statement Eddie makes at about two hours in. Is this happening for anyone else?

Re: The Wrath of Khan

Yeah, it stops for me too at the 2 hrs, 2 mins and 15 seconds mark just as Eddie is saying something. Is the film finished by then?

This commentary is also known as "Brian's Redemption"

Further comments will come after I listen to this commentary, at which point I will comment on the comments made during the commentary.

God loves you!

Re: The Wrath of Khan

Not much of a Star Trek and Star Wars but you guys do a good job in making it not too "boring" to hear.  Also glad that the earlier problem was fixed.

Thanks for posting the ending. I actually just heard about the Star TreX-Men crossover novel that came up in there. http://io9.com/5873156/the-star-trek+x+ … -remembers

Let's all send Teague some haggis.

Re: The Wrath of Khan

Saw Trek II when it came out and it was my first encounter with Star Trek (I was 9).  Didn't know anything about the characters but really liked it and got mildly into Trek after that.  Still my favorite of the films, and part of a triple feature I like to watch every so often with Galaxy Quest and Trekkies.  (and Best of Both Worlds, parts 1&2 and Yesterday's Enterprise just for a little Next Generation fix)  Meyer's commentary is a good listen too (in addition to the DIF one).

Really? I listen to loads of commentaries, and I can't remember one that I turned off halfway through in disgust, aside from that one. Meyer just came off as a crotchety old bastard, complaining about the new kids, and the other guy on the commentary just kind of brown-nosed to him the whole time, so it became this positive feedback loop that just shoved Meyer's head up his own butt.

Whew, man. Maybe it bugged me more than I thought. smile

Re: The Wrath of Khan

I watched "The Captains" on Netflix.  There's some genuinely interesting stuff in there.  And then the rest is made up of my personal trinity of hate: metaphysics, blowhards and jazz.

Maybe I need to listen to it again. It has been several years and I might feel differently now. I liked it at the time. I also liked his co-commentary with Robert Wise on The Day the Earth Stood Still buy that too was years ago. My memory may be kind to Nick Meyers. smile

I literally couldn't get past the teaser montage at the beginning.

Also: Metaphysics, Blowhard, and Jazz was the name of my ska trio in college. I was Metaphysics.

Warning: I'm probably rewriting this post as you read it.

I'm pretty sure there are two different TWOK commentaries for different dvd releases. The one I have he's on his own. (Special Edition)

I was gonna say, Shatner looks like he studied with Antonino Rocca or El Santo or something.

Re: The Wrath of Khan

Damn, I'd never seen that clip. That choreography is actually really damn good considering how much scorn the fights on Star Trek normally get.

For 1966, it's not bad. The problem is it doesn't get any better for the next 40 years.
