I watched the Blu-Ray yesterday and it was stunning on a 37" plasma. I loved it more second time around. But...one major disappointment! No commentary! WTF? Why not? Maybe it has been recorded why not somewhere in the publicity but that is one big epic fail (as the kids describe things that are rubbish and badly thought through). Anyone who has been to screenings knows how passionate the Ford brothers are about this film and rightly so. I was in a tiny, hot screening room earlier this year and was captivated at Howard Ford's introduction and short anecdotes on the problems encountered in making the movie. I remember saying to my peers, at the time, "I can't wait for the BR release. The commentary is going to be riveting". Missed opportunity.
The publicity material is full of great stuff and promise on how much more the Ford brothers could have talked about this movie.
If it does come out as a special edition I'll be all over it like Jordan on an Oxford Rugby player.
