kottke.org posts about Total Recall

Either the best or the worst DVD commentary ever

This is Arnold Schwarzenegger doing the DVD commentary for Total Recall. Instead of adding any context to the film, he simply describes exactly what was happening in each scene.

I have three guesses as to what’s going on here:

1. It’s a fake from a really good impersonator.

2. Arnold is dumb and he’s unaware of how dumb he is.

3. But my money’s on this one: Arnold was contractually obligated to do the DVD commentary but when it came to it, he didn’t really want to. So he torpedoed the whole thing and had some fun in the meantime. (via stellar)
