He’s not fond of commentary tracks. He made exceptions with True Romance and an episode of Spaced, but I can’t see him doing more

He did a great commentary track with the director on the Switchblade Sisters DVD.

Ah, you’re right, with Jack Hill

Hot Fuzz too

[BluProofie]

Hope The Wrecking Crew is one of them.

I love this idea. Put a spine number on these and they'll sell like hot cakes

That's always surprised me, as QT's three biggest loves seem to be a) cinema, b) cocaine, and c) listening to himself talk. That's the perfect recipe for an interesting commentary (just ask Abel Ferrara).

Ferrara's original commentary for The Driller Killer is bliss.

Oooh. When you say original, is it one that's not on the Arrow blu-ray? I haven't listened to it yet.

edit: okay I researched it for ten seconds and see there's an earlier one to check out.

The DVD its on is worth it just for the short films and Nine Lives trailer.

Is it the same trailer as on the VS Blu?

Probably, it’s just nice to have early Ferrara all in one place so you know where he came from, even if the shorts are of variable quality. Could This Be Love? is the most substantial in length, but I enjoyed The Hold Up as a black and white heist.

"She had quit cocaine years earlier, after spending 'one excruciating night' at Quentin Tarantino’s house, listening to him and Anderson brag. 'Every addict should just get locked in a private movie theatre with Q.T. and P.T.A. on coke, and they’ll never want to do it again,' she joked."

He has no problem at all with commentary tracks, he just doesn't want them on the movies he directs. The same way he is fond of documentaries about filmmaking but is very cautious about behind the scenes stuff on his own films. I don't think he wants people peeking behind the curtain on his own stuff, he wants to retain some mystique.

Switchblade Sisters, From Dusk Till Dawn (on which he said he liked doing them and should do one for Pulp Fiction), Hot Fuzz, Sin City, Hostel, Hostel 2, and even the Johnny Knoxville movie Daltry Calhoun.

The man definitely does commentary tracks.

He also did one for King Boxer on the Dragon Dynasty DVD.

His commentaries all have one thing in common: He did not direct any of the movies he has commentaried on. Seems happy to talk about other people's films, just not his own. I guess one could argue he "co-directed" Sin City, but that was just one long scene really. Great scene, but just one.
