Via E V H E A D [1], You, too, Can be a DVD (Digital Video Disk) Movie Critic

It could be said that Pink Floyd did this [3] to the Wizard of Oz [4] (but
that is still unsubstantiated) so the technique is actually quite old, and
Roger Ebert has some excellent ideas for commentary. I can just see Mark [5],
Kelly [6], Rob [7] and I doing commentary for movies like WarGames [8]
(“Cool!”), Hackers [9] (“What a piece of dung!” “But it has Angelina Jolie's
breasts!”), Swordfish [10] (“What a load of crap!” “But it has Halle Berry's
breasts! [11]”) or even The Net [12] (“What a horrible film!” “And it doesn't
even have Sandra Bullock's breasts in it!”).
