i have this idea i have been kicking around
ya know how PTA sends stuff to greg , and some directers have their own websites
How about this, someday PTA Records a commentarie for Magnolia And he posts it on gregs website , and you play the movie and run the commentarie on the computer at the same time
somebody is gonna do this and the rest will follow suit
however maybe i am being too much of a film geek here because the reality is that if PTA Wanted to record a new commentary track the studio would put out a new magnolia DVD To make some extra cash
but maybe not, i dunno
all i know is some of my fav films should have commentarys
someday a new directer will come out and he will be a internet freak and he will use his website as another peice of the pie
he could come out with new and differnt commentarys all the time, with differnt people
But the question is whether PTA can do that without the studios thinking they are losing potential money

maybe they will let it slide in some cases, like if the film is not a big enough seller to warrent a re release
i hope this will be the future, because its so great
as...err...interesting as that sounds, we have to consider some things
- pta already said he didn't want to record a commentary for magnolia.
- the bandwidth and space implications of hosting a 3+ hour audio file on a site would be tremendous. michael is already donating his money to keep mariotti's sites going

and err i was using him as example ERR It could be any film maker ERR
My point is some directers would love to have commentarys but the studio wont put up the dough for extra features
for example " sugar and spice" she wanted to do a track they said no
so the future will be to just record it yourself and add it to a website
errr

:yabbse-thumbdown:
maybe in the future future, after you can get nearly any commentary online and play your disc in sync with it, they'll take the technology even further and actually record the commentaries for the movies ONTO THE DISCS, where no syncage or download would be needed!!!11
this brings up an interesting question about our community. perhaps we should have a space where we can ask for commentaries (i know that there's several criterion commentaries i'd love to hear but went out with laserdisc or OOP) and then we'll post them. i have a few out of print criterions and some laserdiscs with commentary tracks. anybody game?
and have them in mp3 format or something? that would be great... if possible at all
