The dubious delights of disease

Posted on April 25, 2006 | Post a comment |

I was ill yesterday. You could probably tell since I thought David Tennant's hairstyle was an interesting thing to blog about.

Anyway, I'm not used to being ill. Whole households can get devastated by illness while I'm staying with them and I'll have a mild headache for 10 minutes at worst. No disease can do me in for more than 24 hours though, so I'm back to full health again. Hoorah.

Omega Factor DVD front coverBut yesterday, I was ill. So being out of practice with illness, I didn't know what to do with myself. I tried watching The Omega Factor again, in preparation for a review I'm writing. That nearly put me to sleep, because I've seen it a few times now. So following on from my earlier discussion of the best audio commentaries ever, I decided to have a listen to the audio commentary for Anchorman.

Anchorman DVD's front coverI have to say, that was the weirdest commentary I've ever heard. It was practically a movie by itself. It had guest stars who hadn't even appeared in the movie, including singing legend Lou Rawls, who seemed very mystified to be there. It had action scenes, with Will Ferrell pretending to have his nose crushed and claiming that cartilage was streaming down his face. It was very, very odd. Not especially funny. But entertaining in the same way as performance art is. Worth listening to in a mind-expanding way. The film's a lot funnier, incidentally.
