DVD Special Features

Those extra features are more for behind-the-scenes kind of viewers, but they can be interesting to watch, too, though they take away the magic of the movie, because they make things "less believable" or convincing, if you know what I mean.

I sometimes watch them but not all the time. I like to atleast check them out and see what there is. I have seen some really cool special features on some of my DVD's

Most blockbusters are made of thinking on the DVD so no big surprises on that side, most of it is promotional material that you can watch on E! channel or the web. Gag reel and deleted scenes are the main attractions thou not all movies present them. Medium to small movies are the big winners in this category, like Napoleon Dynamite that has plenty of material to show and the commentaries are worth.

I am not so concerned with the extras on DVDs as I am additional languages. I am trying to maintain the little French that I have. And the wife is studying Spanish. So it is nice to have DVDs that we can watch in those languages. The translations are not exact, but it is better than nothing; I get so bored with language course CDs.

if i am intrested in the movie then yes i will check out the special features and we usually will watch the actual movie and sometimes will watch the directors cut. where the director goes through the entire movie and tell the audience what and how they made certain scenes. over the years we sure have learned alot about the outtakes that they have done. snakes on a plane wasnt too bad of a moive. alot of the movies that jackson does are pretty good and hes a good actor. an interesting fact that we learned from fast and furious tokyo drift is that when they go for a race through china (where they went speeding by the cop. with what they were clocked in doing on the radar the cop would never do anything as they have no chance of catching the person.

Yea.. only when I have nothing to do... Then again if the movie is really good i might watch the deleted scenes or the alternate endings..

I don't think you need to be a die hard fan of a movie to watch the extra features. I think you just have to have a curiosity about what ever the extras are. I love when they show outtakes of any movie. There are some movies that I like to see how they make some of the monsters or sets. When I buy a dvd I always buy the special edition. Sometimes special edition is just a few extras and others add extra time to the movie it self. There are some people who just love the movie but do not want to watch the extra stuff. My daughter very seldom watches the outtakes or anything else related to the movie once it is over.

I don't always do it. I really have to like the movie a lot. For example, when i got the extended versions of the Lord Of The Rings' trilogy, i checked out most of the extra stuff, even though it lasts hours. But i wouldn't do it with a normal movie, that's true. I think that many of the things they add there are irrelevant and don't really add much to the movie.

One of my favorite features of DVD is the The Directors Cut. It is the another side of the movie that are not included in the movie. Maybe some, part are censored or banned. Or this is the part that have some comment of other people about the movie.

I never do watch them..I always say I will next time but don't..You say the gag reels are good..Then next one I rent I will at least watch that..Thanks Doll..Have a great day xoxoxoxo

Yeah.... no. I don't watch any of the specials on DVDs. I mean why? I don't want to watch as the director goes through and tells you their thoghts on the movie or this angle or that part. I don't care how much makeup the actors needed or what their muse was for their character. I just want to watch the movie.

Yea.. only when I have nothing to do... Then again if the movie is really good i might watch the deleted scenes or the alternate endings..
