There's a line in 'Tropic Thunder' where RDJ's character says he never breaks character until they record the DVD commentary. In the DVD commentary he's still doing the Fred Williamson voice.

Since you're a connoisseur of niche entertainment, here are a few suggestions for obscure creators.

Tanith Lee, author. Neil Gaiman stole most of his best stuff from her. In Night's Master the hero is Satan, and in Death's Master, the protagonist is Death.

Ross Thomas, author. Washington reporter turned novelist, his books almost always focus on dirty politics. 'The Porkchoppers' is about a Union election back in the Nixon Era and 'Briarpatch' makes the small city it's set in a major character.

Russ Meyer, movie maker. 'Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!' The title of the movie is the most subtle thing in it.

I love DVD extras like 'The Making Of...' documentaries and creator interviews/commentaries.

There's a special edition of 'Buckaroo Banzai' with an on screen commentary that's fantastic. I found out that the briefcase Buckaroo carries with him into Dimension 8 had a tuna fish salad sandwich and Eintein's brain.

I saw a story posted on the internet, take it for what it's worth.

Boss boasts that he told people coming for the interview to come to the office at 9 am, and then waited for hours until all but one left. He claimed he wanted to hire someone with patience. The commnets said he wanted to hire someone desperate and spineless.

On one hand, I agree that little boys roughhousing is probably a good thing. On the other, most of the people who admire combat seem to be the ones who are afraid to actually walk the streets after dark.
