I would love to see a Making Of documentary AFTER I've seen the movie. I refuse to watch them before I've seen the movie. Even if you handcuff me to the sofa and hold a gun to my head. Never, never, never. > > Brunnen-"hoping I've made myself perfectly clear about that"G
That's the beauty of DVDs (and I suppose Laserdiscs). I LOVE those "making of" extras on good discs, and it's a cool thing to watch after (as you said) after you've seen the movie. I think the coolest one of these is the one on the "Matrix" disc, which is linked to the movie. You watch the movie and every now and then a white rabbit appears on the bottom of the screen. Hit the enter button and you get a little making of clip showing that scene. Very cool.
