The MPAA is <EM>really</EM> going to love this idea …

I'd love to hear a commentary track by someone who hates a movie, ripping it to shreds. Or a track by an expert who disagrees with the facts in a film. Or a track by someone with a moral or philosophical argument to make. Or even a Wayne's World style track from dudes down in the basement who think The Mummy Returns is way cool.

It could be said that Pink Floyd did this [3] to the Wizard of Oz [4] (but that is still unsubstantiated) so the technique is actually quite old, and Roger Ebert has some excellent ideas for commentary. I can just see Mark [5], Kelly [6], Rob [7] and I doing commentary for movies like WarGames [8] (“Cool!”), Hackers [9] (“What a piece of dung!” “But it has Angelina Jolie's breasts!”), Swordfish [10] (“What a load of crap!” “But it has Halle Berry's breasts! [11]”) or even The Net [12] (“What a horrible film!” “And it doesn't even have Sandra Bullock's breasts in it!”).
