And when we try to stay on topic with the movie and not let conversations wander, other listeners complain because we're stifling interesting conversation that they want to hear more about.

For my part, I think it's usually ideal to bring the conversation back to the film, if there's something to be said in particular about that film at that moment; but at the same time we've all been trying lately not to interrupt each other as much as before because folks in the forum were complaining about that, too.

In PIRATES 2, whenever the guy with the hermit crab head starts speaking in Cantonese, the subtitles declare it "gibberish."

The plot of the movie is dinosaurs running amok in the park, clearly unsupervised. So within the world of the film the Dinosaur Supervisor is not doing his job.

Shit, I say we do all three. At that point if we lose a commentary, we're doing it on purpose.

Just to let everyone know, I've managed to find amid the Audacity temp files (which I got from Teague), and am starting to piece together, what we got of the KICK-ASS commentary. This will still happen.

The actual recording died just after Trey said "She's too young, she's fine," and I think it was somehow my doing when I leaned back to take my niece from my sister, so literally you'll want to download and archive this specific moment right here, and the audio can go crappy for about 30 seconds in the middle of the commentary with the Justin.tv audio, and we can pick it up in the second-half recording whenever we do that.

It has both. I saw the original and I borrowed your copy to do it.

Aw, lookit LOST WORLD all alone up there. It's giving me the sad eyes, I'll take the little guy home.

I think my favorite recent insight is Brian talking about the purpose of telling a story, and how some movies you can't tell what that purpose is. Specifically the example he gives "I could give you a three hour lecture on the importance of credibility -- or I can tell you the three-minute story of the boy who cried wolf and get the same point across, and probably more clearly." Or words to that effect. I don't remember the first commentary he mentioned that in, and it actually might not even have been released yet...

I liked FixedR6's suggestion. We've got probably, what, 20 consistent regulars here? Everyone take 5 commentaries, we can do this in a week.
