Really? I remember listening to Gray on Elvis Mitchell's the Treatment and finding him very endearing and likable.

i believe he's cool elsewhere, he just didn't seem to enjoy doing a commentary that day.

I'd imagine that doing a commentary is awkward and unpleasant.  A conversation is totally different.  Sometimes the commentaries with multiple participants work better, unless they start talking about random shit and making in-jokes.  I like it when Soderbergh does commentaries with other directors, whether it's his film or not.  Still, some directors do commentaries alone very well and I love to listen to them.

Loved loved looooved it. I'm not sure I could love anyone who didn't love this.

I didn't love this at all!  I hated Joaquin's character and thusly the whole thing was annoying. 
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

boy does james gray sound like a douche.

I just listened to it yesterday, and I kinda agree. I don't think it's because he doesn't enjoy it - I think he's just got that stiffly didactic manner of expression which can come off like a lead balloon on commentary tracks. But it's also great to listen to him talk about it because he is so insanely clear and on the level about things. It's like listening to a boring college professor who's still totally awesome.
