COMMENTARY TRACK
(from the original Criterion Laserdisc, ca. 1994):

. . .
AARON: Hey guys, this is Aaron Alexovich, writer, artist, letterer, key grip, best boy, key-gaffer, best gripper, key-gaffboy, best key-boy gaffer-boygrip (craft service) and Personal Assistant to Mr. Alexovich on this show. I’ll be your sort of “guide” through the book here, giving you the “skinny” on all the trials and tribulations that went into the production of this “Modern American Classic.” *

AARON: Joining us on our little journey is my best buddy, co-executive producer and 1-time Wii Bowling Champion… Aaron Alexovich.

A2: Well, this COVER sure is a piece of shit, isn’t it?

AARON: …

A2: What are those, Hammer pants she’s wearing? You put HAMMER PANTS on this girl, Aaron?

AARON: …

A2: Shit, you can barely READ that title there… So many WORDS… I tell ya, if I’d had MY way, it would’ve been BIG letters, LESS words. “SERENITY ROSE: REVELATION.” “SERENITY ROSE: REQUIEM.” “SERENITY ROSE: FINAL.” Something JAZZY, with lots of PEP, you know?

AARON: …

A2: And the COLORS… God, did it HAVE to be all black on grey on black with black? How about a little TEAL and ORANGE in there? How about a LOT of teal and orange in there? Nothing in the goth codes against that, is there?

AARON: …

A2: Shit, did you even WANT this thing to sell?

AARON: …

A2: SELL! SELL! SELL!

AARON: …

AARON: …Oh man, this isn’t going to go well AT ALL, is it?
