Ok, so get this. On my beloved Taxi Driver blu ray, there are many cool special features. The one I was most excited about though, is the commentary with Schrader and Scorsese that they recorded in '86. As far as I know it isn't available anywhere except probably the laserdisc it originally came out on. So, after watching my favorite movie of all the time again with the best picture and sound quality ever, you'd think that what I'd naturally do is listen to the commentary after, right? WRONG.
The.Shit.Didn't.Work
There isn't even an option to turn it on, like with the other commentaries on there. You select it and absolutely nothing happens, and then- even better, the whole menu freezes up and you have to start it over again. This is a brand new DVD, I don't understand WTF is wrong with it. Other people own this version, right? Have you had any problems? Or are the DVD Gods conspiring against me to make it so I'll never be able to watch a commentary for a movie about psychopaths driving people around- whether they don't talk or can't shut up, and who find a common enemy in Albert Brooks?
