MBV3D - the rental
Rented My Bloody Valentine tonight, since I is broke to death and had a free rental and neeeeeded to see the movie again.
-Renting the movie, very necessary, but there were no bloopers or deleted scenes on the disk? I'm hoping that's just rental copies. Also, either the Real-D glasses don't work on the home version or the angle of screen to eye was wrong, or my TV is crap because there was no hope of it working. Given the colour of it, I suspect the old red/blue glasses were required.
-Axel totally saw Tom alive in the mine before he drove away. With eye contact and everything. The girls didn't see Tom because of the cracked windshield and the panic and the pickaxe. Axel deliberately left Tom there to die so he could rescue Sarah, be her hero and win her over. Axel is and always will be an evil, evil fucker.
-Holy crap, it actually wasn't Jensen in the miner suit, it was a third guy??? Whoever did the casting for that needs an Oscar for finding a duplicate for not only Jensen's shoulders, but his walk and combat style. I would have, and probably did swear that that was really Jensen the whole time. o.O
-The blood in the hospital scene was primarily maple syrup, leading to one of the best lines of the commentary: "pancake house from Hell" *glee*
-I love that the director and writer are so gushy in the commentary about all the actors, including and especially Jensen. I love that they went on about his sense of camera angle and framing and said he'll make a fantastic director when he decides to do that, because he really will.
-I also love how much input the actors apparently had into the script and scenes. I love that the actress playing the maid who got cooked in the dryer tried to fit herself into her home dryer to see if it would work, and was worried that she wouldn't fit for the scene.
-During the shooting of the 'Harry catches Tom before he gets out of the mine scene' at the start apparently Jensen got accidentally whacked right in the eye and just kept on going because he didn't want to slow down shooting. Gaaaah. He's nuts, but that's pretty hardcore there.
-Towards the end of the commentary, when Tom's revealed to be the bad guy, one of the guys commenting said something like "...aaaand that's when all the Supernatural fans started hating us." Hee! They also mention Supernatural later during the 'maybe Sarah reached Tom' fake-out moment, saying something like "And now all the Supernatural fans think maybe it's okay now, he's good, we're back on the road with Sam and Dean, buuut... no."
-They mentioned that when Harry's blood is sprayed in Tom's face in the mine at the start, that's when the 'transference' happens. They go on about it being a mental illness later, but, dude, they said transference. Or transfer. The implication being something was transferred from Harry to Tom with the blood. It's totally evil mine pixies. Or some kind of Balrog-extracted Croatoan virus. Yeah. *nods*
To sum up: Great commentary, loads of little tidbits, and I really really need to go buy the damn thing now, because I think the rental copy is missing stuff, arg.
