Magnet and Steel
This is what happens.
I'm going to get the mail and I hear or think I hear "Magnet & Steel" coming out of a passing car.
And then the song is stuck in my head.
And then I remember that the song is prominently featured in the movie Boogie Nights.
So I pop in the disc and watch the movie. Cuz, hey, what else am I going to do today?
So I finish the movie and I remember that the directors audio commentary is maybe the best audio commentaries every recorded.
So I watch / listen to that.
Then I say, hey, I'm still not doing anything and have some time to kill so I'm just gonna go ahead and watch the other commentary track featuring many of the actors in which Marky Mark is drunk and discusses having broken his penis (not the prosthetic in the film but the real thing.)
So I watched/listened to that.
And that is how I ended up watching a very long movie three times today because I may or may not have heard a song coming out of someones car.
(On top of that I watched One Flew Over The Cucukoo's Nest. Which damaged me for life when I read the book and saw the movie as a early teenager.)
1) Because one of the first things he talks about in his Boogie Nights commentary is how much he learned from listening to audio commentaries on LaserDiscs.
2) He's really insightful as to the craft of movie making
3) I would love to hear him discuss the making of Punch Drunk Love, what the writing process was and the score of the film and how brilliant Adam Sandler is in it.
4) I'd also love to hear him discuss, at length, There Will Be Blood.
