Anyone have any idea about what's up with Short Cuts? Such a nice laser disc, what the fuck is going on?

Just recently bought it on VHS I loved it so much. I'd already want to replace it with a DVD of course.

Yeah I really love that movie. There was a commentary on the laser and I believe the Jack Lemmon Inside the Actor's Studio. Also try and seek out the book. They put all the stories by Raymond Carver which influenced the movie. Excellent read.

Quote from: jasper_windowThere was a commentary on the laser and I believe the Jack Lemmon Inside the Actor's Studio.

The commentary is an audio essay by Michael Wilmington and runs for only 17 chapters. A Pauline Kael interview runs for the same length. And this movie and laser came out long before Actor's Studio was even conceived. You might be thinking of "Glengarry Glen Ross". The laser for that movie has Jack Lemmon commentary (not included on the DVD), and the DVD has clips from his Actor's Studio episode.

Those stories are on the laser.

Thanks for the revision, I'm retarded. I thought the laser had an Altman commentary, oh well. Regardless I want that fucker on DVD.

I'm delusional. I just checked the specs for the laser on imdb and boy was I off base. And so it goes... have you heard the audio essay by Wilmington?

It's a very good documentary from the Criterion laserdisc (which I am a proud owner of):

Summary: A laserdisc version of the 1993 film, presented in its original widescreen ratio of 2.35:1. Supplementary features include: text of stories of Raymond Carver, production information, critical response (including an interview with Pauline Kael & audio essay by Michael Wilmington), deleted scenes and outtakes and Mike Kaplan and John Dorr's documentary "Luck, Trust and Ketchup: Robert Altman in Carver Country" (1993), featuring behind-the-scenes interviews with every cast member and footage of Altman at work. The liner notes include extensive chapter stops and programming details to follow the separate strands of each story individually from beginning to end.
