Tarantino articles on the Jacke Brown DVD?
These are the bonus newspaper and magazine articles on the bonus dvd.
Why are they so freaking long?
Do you read all of them or just ignore them?
I feel the urge to read them since I want to finish watching the bonus features.
Eggplant Blues by Stanley Crouch is about 20 pages long.
I think I might finish this DVD next January.

Actually, this brings up a much larger question: Does anybody read the "text" special features on any disc? I'll admit that I have been known to read the actor biographies and filmographies . . . but I just cannot seem to force myself to sit and read an article on my TV.

I dunno - I really thought the TXT commentary and the essays were actually pretty sweet. I love having shit to read about the film as well as the film itself, and I imagine it doesn't take all that much of a stretch to put it there in the first place...
...Fear and Loathing Criterion for instance has that great little insert booklet...

I don't like trying to read articles on my TV, so I tend to avoid them. Though sometimes I'll give it a try and usually only make it about 5 pages in before I start wondering how long it is.

Recently, I read the journals on Clerks X, they were pretty cool to read for awhile, until I realized I was reading on my TV.
Me, I love the articles/journals/essays/production notes, as long as they're in an insert. It's nice little touches like that, that makes the DVD even more special. I always read the inserts.
But I understand how you can't slip in a full 100-page book in the case... a little here, a little there will do.

I much prefer reading the info in an included booket but the only company that really seems to do this (instead of on screen text articles) is Criterion. Their VIDEODROME and IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE discs, for example, have inserted booklets that are around 40 pages or more. But of course, this costs more money, and for most studios, the bottom line is more important.
