DVD Extras
May. 1st, 2012 08:09 pmI haven't even seen "The Avengers," and already I've decided I want to get my hands on the future DVD so I can see the extras.
Both Joss Whedon and Robert Downey Jr. have contracts that give them final say in their movies. And the two of them did not agree on everything at first, though they did agree to settle things without lawyers. So, I'm thinking there might be some very interesting stories on the DVD.
Second, they both agreed that Iron Man originally had too big of a role in the movie. Just because Robert Downey Jr. is the most famous actor doesn't mean Iron Man should have more than 30% of the movie. Because it's "The Avengers." I'm thinking that sounds like a big pile of interesting deleted scenes. Of course they might not have actually filmed them, I don't know.
There aren't that many DVD extras I've enjoyed; frankly there aren't that many I've watched.
"El Mariachi" - Listen to the director blabbing over the movie to find out all sorts of things he did to make a (pretty exciting) movie with only $7,000. Much fun.
"Bend It With Beckham" - Watch the extra on how to make aloo gobi, even if you don't like that dish. More than one cook chimes in on the proper way to do things; it's quite fun.
"Saved" - I probably just like the deleted scenes because I like the movie so much. One of these was in the film festival version we saw and was the first scene that showed Robin that we weren't dealing with an ordinary movie here. Another them is when two of the actors play around with kissing, which in itself is already going overboard (not in the script at all), but then they go even more over the top with it.

I've heard that starting about now, previews for "The Avengers" are full of spoilers. So, be warned.

And here are some "during" shots, so you can see a little bit of the history of how cake turned into this:
