"The Thing: Fear Takes Shape" - a comprehensive documentary on the making of John Carpenter's The Thing, featuring a detailed break-down from Rob Bottin on all the amazing practical effects.<br />2. The audio commentary from The Silence of the Lambs featuring Jodie Foster, Anthony Hopkins, Johnathan Demme, Ted Tally, and John Douglas of the FBI. Still one of the best I've ever heard, and Jodie's comments on female heroes are terrific and insightful.<br /><br />3. "Under Pressure: The Making of the Abyss" - This used to only be available on the Laserdisc for the special edition, but you can find it on YouTube fairly easily. Very informative, with unexpectedly candid comments from the cast about how difficult and frustrating the experience was.Steve K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02141959251034133806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-55054104647770246362019-09-24T13:13:52.381-05:002019-09-24T13:13:52.381-05:00Mallrats commentary and any commentary where john ...Mallrats commentary and any commentary where john Carpenter and kurt Russell just bullshit for 2 hours is bliss.

Seems to me the best bonus content is on YouTube, in the form of video essays, Honest Trailers and other reviews, etc. Of course, it helps not to have to parrot the corporate happy talk...Gaithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07025861553487915665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-59897912227949838552019-09-23T06:58:00.168-05:002019-09-23T06:58:00.168-05:00Laurent Bouzereau is the king of the making-of doc...Laurent Bouzereau is the king of the making-of documentary.
