Topic: ratethatcommentary.com and favorite talkers
After listening to all the DIF commentaries (and the one Geekza with Trey Stokes), it's pretty obvious the gang knows what makes a good commentary track. Insight, Humor, scene-specific remarks, and analysis. I wondered which artists everyone liked to listen to. That is: Directors, writers, personalities, critics, et al that make for entertaining and informative listens.
I mention ratethatcommentary.com because it has led me to many great tracks in the past. I've discovered some great tracks by critics, such as Roger Ebert and leonard Maltin, as well as controversial directors like Oliver Stone.
So, are there voices you will listen to, regardless of the material?
I've found that even films like 'Jason goes to hell' and 'License to Drive' can be a riot when recalled by the creators in a fun, self-deprecating fashion.
my fave 5 include (Directors): 1) joe dante, 2) Frank Darabont, 3) Stone, 4) Michael mann, 5) Ron Howard
( Critics and ): 1) Ebert, 2) Leonard maltin
(Writers): 1) William Goldman 2) Chuck Pahalniuk 3)James Ellroy
(Personalities) 1) Weird Al Yankovic, 2) Kevin Smith (I know,he's a "director"), and any of the show runners from the Simpsons.
