Ha! I own it, and have for years. Which is actually kind of why I don't have a review of it posted yet. Pretty much what causes that is that I watch so many new movies. However, there are exceptions. I was just in the mood for Casablanca one day and not really anything else, so I watched Casablanca, which not only have I owned for years but I'm pretty sure my mother owns. And, of course, Graham and I have pretty different taste in movies, so every once in a while, we agree to watch a movie we own that we both like so I can do my review on it, even if I've owned it since before we got together. However, with movies I've just bought, the only way I don't do a review the day I buy it, or within the next few days, is if I saw it in the theatre and reviewed it then.

What do other people think about commentary tracks? I think Rob Reiner shouldn't be allowed to do one on his own--he never seems to know what to say--and that Roger Ebert should be allowed to do as many as he likes. I actually put Beyond the Valley of the Dolls on my Netflix queue for the express purpose of listening to his commentary. I didn't actually watch the movie without it.
