I'm not a huge fan of the director's commentaries, notes, scripts and all the peripheral junk that comes along with a film.
However, if they decided to accompany the big films and big directors (Coppola, Scorsese, Lucas, Polanski, Forman, Coen Bros., et al.) with hour-and-a-half documentaries about making a film, then I'm all eyes and ears.
The virtually self-imposed torment Francis Ford Coppola heaped himself is tremendous. The religion of film making and the amount of effort and tediousness they place on the script, actors and everything else in the film is tremendous and often jaw-dropping.
It was fascinating seeing these interviews (past and present) and these people's points of view in regards to something they felt very strongly about.
