Well, there's simply no pleasing me. A while back I inveighed against bonus material, which is usually crap that was cut out for a good reason, or else incredibly boring behind-the-scenes stuff you didn't want to know. (The Bring it On DVD has an especially horrible director's commentary, all stuff along the lines of, "we had a lot of extras for this scene...")
But then I went and bought the Indiana Jones box set, because we rode the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland (fan-freakin'-tastic, by the way) and the kids had never seen the movies. (So far we've watched the first and third ones, because who the hell needs Temple of Doom anyway?) So there's a bonus disc with some relatively boring behind-the-scenes stuff--apparently the stunts were done by stuntmen!--and some mildly interesting making-of documentaries. And that's it! No commentary at all on the movies! And, I mean, you don't really need commentary for the likes of Bring it On, but these are classics, man! I can't believe Spielberg couldn't spare 6 hours to sit there and talk about the movies. Ripoff!
