I am home sick today, and decided to pop this movie in again...and somehow the Commentary was turned on, and man, I have to say I enjoyed it so much.

Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau do the commentary, and you just appreciate so much more about the movie from listening to them.

Great fun...commentaries on movies that you really love just make them so much better.

Oh yeah, especially if there's actually substance to it. THe worst commentaries are the ones where the participants just tell you what's going onscreen and that's it. The director John McTiernan (Hunt for Red October) is guilty of that a lot.

I love that movie but Vince Vaugns' character is the biggest @$$hole I've ever seen in any movie. That's the only time I've ever wanted to punch a character in a movie.

I guess you have not seen Made, because he is ten times as bad

Never even heard of it much less seen it :confused:


Have you taken care of this yet?

I just rewatched it. I hadn't seen it in a long time. I can't believe how skinny Vince Vaughn was. I haven't seen Made yet, so I've added it to my list of movies to see.

This was filmed on a $200,000 budget according to IMDB, pretty amazing.

Or how skinny Favreau was.

My favorite movie of all time.

You should get the DVD and watch the special features or commentary...you find out so much stuff about how they filmed it and all that stuff...it's a good one.

THis year is the 10th anniversary of Swingers...it's original release date was: 10/18/1996

To celebrate it, GO WATCH THIS MOVIE if you haven't...especially if you're a guy.

My absolute favorite movie of all time.

I have it recorded in HD from HDNET and now when I'm bored I just turn it on and it's like I'm seeing it for the first time...I still laugh at every joke.

D-Dogg and I were playing NHLPA '93 on my SNES the other night and kept joking with each other to "make his head bleed".
