I usually don’t pay much attention to commentary tracks on DVDs. They generally interfere with my willing suspension of disbelief and they typically don’t contribute to my appreciation of the movie. But I may have to pick up a copy of Total Recall after watching this highlight reel of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s commentary. It’s a commentary track as performance art. It’s almost post-modern in its use of super-obvious narration. It’s as if Arnie is trying to make a point about the vapidity of Hollywood blockbusters by giving us the most vapid DVD commentary ever. The man is a genius.
