- We got a record number of scoops on this one, probably because of the day off and the news happening right after the last update. Anyway, entertainment website IGN has awarded Mallrats the distinction of having the #1 DVD Commentary track! Here’s what they had to say:
Concerned Parties: Writer/Director Kevin Smith, Actors Ben Affleck, Jason Lee and Jason Mewes and Produces Scott Mosier and Vincent Pereira
1. Informational Value – It’s loaded with all sorts of stuff, almost all of it funny as hell. They discuss everything from Jason Mewes’ pitiful life to the life and death of the film to Michael Rooker’s baldness to Ben Affleck’s sex appeal. This is a crew of of friends, and it’s contagious. You want to be there.
2. Entertainment Value – The only thing that can compete with the disc above (and a few mentioned below) for entertainment value.
3. Usage of the time – Stacked like a playmate of the year.
4. Overall impact – Forget that you can use the angle feature to see these people onscreen if you want to. Just sit back and laugh.
Chasing Amy also gets an honorable mention…And we hope the gang listed to the “Clerks†track, too. The original classic! Congrats to everyone involved on the Mallrats commentary, as it truly is incredibly fun and entertaining, and has that rare appeal that makes you want to listen to it over and over again, unlike most DVD tracks which are rough to get through even once. The only question now is…Will Dogma SE’s tracks top it?
