Even on the Special Editions, with all their bells and whistles, there's no director's commentary. It's a practice so commonplace now, that even on Adam Sandler movies the director provides a commentary! Is there a reason why you've chosen not to do this?
Brian De Palma : I guess it's because it's such a tremendous amount of work. I appreciate it when other directors do it. I was talking to Spielberg about this last night since he's also never done one. He feels that it's because he likes to keep a little of the mystery. I don't have that feeling, my thought is, "God Almighty, I have to sit here and go down memory lane with all this stuff! I don't think I can do this." Maybe later, when I'm sitting on my porch and I'm eighty-two, if I can still remember any of this stuff, I'll do one or two. So, basically it's a time problem, but there are some marvellous ones that are just full of fascinating information, you really have to appreciate them.

Thanks for the info TheOmen ....strange that super-mainstream Spielberg dont do it...maybe he's trying to be mysterios like Kubrick...I'm sure he wouldnt do it either....
