Do You Even Watch the Special Features in Your Blu-Ray?

[ChristmasFnatic]

Just wondering how many of us here watches it, and how many dont...

[wormraper]

besides the occaisonal trailer for sh!ts and giggles... I haven't watched a special feature in at least 5 years

No not usually, the only time I watch special feature are for movies based on real events, like Black Hawk Down, or what I would consider spectacle movies like Prometheus or The Avengers stuff like that. I usually watch trailers, and featurettes.

Depends on what they are. I'm a huge fan of deleted scenes and audio commentary. Of course there are exceptions. I remember trying to watch the Michael Bay commentary on Transformers and he is so stuck up I just couldn't do it.

[nashcameronn]

Not very often. For some reason I just never think to do it. I'm so used to taking a movie out of the player as soon as I finish it.

I'm going to start more often

[Blu-21]

Yes I do, everything expect commentaries which I rarely listen to (even though I do like them).

[goodstuff]

Usually only bloopers and deleted scenes.

[AikonEnt]

I tend to watch the making of documentaries after the film if I have some time to kill before I do something else (obviously depending how long they are). Bloopers should be included with every disc. I'll even occasionally listen to commentaries. Two films I've watched (or rather re-watched) recently are The Goonies and Kick Ass, for both I watched the film again straight after with the commentary turned on, neither time was I intending to listen to the whole thing but just got into it (I obviously have too much time on my hands ).

Depends if I have the time there and then and/or if the film was interesting. Sometimes if I don't have the time, I tend to watch special features the next day or so. I usually watch all of it except trailers/tv spots.

[lilboyblu]

If it transcended my expectations and/or if I enjoyed it above and beyond "just entertainment," then yes, I will watch the special features (e.g. Taxi Driver, yes. Mrs. Doubtfire, not a chance).

[Member-152329]

Not too often, but I do buy releases based on how many special features they have.

But I do like the IDEA of special features, so I'd always like to have them as an option. The only special features I remember really getting into are commentaries on The Simpsons DVDs (and eventually the blu-rays), and the "6 Days to Air" documentary on Season 15 of South Park

[timcat4843]

The only movie in my Blu-ray collection, that I've taken the time to watch the special features is Titanic,
which just happens to be my favorite movie.

[AnimalChin]

I always watch the deleted scenes and bloopers then whatever else looks interesting

[AgentOrange]

For a typical 1st time watching the movie I would say no, except for deleted scenes which I usually watch by default.

Sometimes I do watch more features when I revisit the blu-ray a 2nd time, or if it's a film I really want to learn more about. That really depends on if the extras are any good - but I will sometimes watch them. I still probably have only watched about 10% (probably being generous) of all extras on my blu-rays.

[pab1219]

Yes I want to see how the movie came together.

[Hayabusa85]

Very rarely. I always view it as time that could be spent watching another movie. But I do enjoy gag reels. And if I am a big enough fan of something and there is an extra feature that catches my eye I will watch it. For some reason I am more likely to watch special features for TV shows than movies.

[Majin Blu]

Not really....well, not anymore.
I used to be heavy on features back in the DVD days, but now, I barely touch them. Unless it's a feature from a movie that was based off of a comic book or graphic novel (love hearing and talking about comics history), then I tend to or even features on an animated movie (mainly because I love seeing the behind the scenes process with animation/animators--that's what I want to do one day).

Anything else....nope.

That's how I am. Although I do watch "Making Of's" here and there.

[csdot]

[AKORIS]

I rarely have the time unfortunately
