Yesterday (09/26) was my birthday, and as part of my birthday gift to myself, I bought the newly-released dvd of Forbidden Zone, Richard Elfman's masterpiece of film. There's been a ton written about it already, but I'm now watching the dvd, and it's really well done. The comentary was typical of commentaries done years after a film: a lot of reminiscing and marveling over what they'd done, and not a lot of details. It's still entertaining, though.



The documentary is neat; it has interview footage with Danny Elfman, Matthew Bright, and Marie-Pascale Elfman (though she's divorced from Richard Elfman now, so I'm not sure what her surname is).



Pick it up. It's quite good.
