Warren Beatty and Paramount Pictures have finally released Reds on DVD. Click on the poster to purchase. The movie is awesome and Beatty's masterpiece. I've seen it 1,108 times--I actually counted. Beatty didn't do a commentary track because he finds them objectionable. I think he just wants people to watch the movie. There are some "making of" tracks in the DVD menu that are interesting and occasionally funny. The best part about these interviews is that Beatty and Nicholson - both huge narcissists and notorious womanizers - wax poetic about Diane Keaton and how great she is. They both seem to be scared of her. It just serves as confirmation that she's a very strong woman--only Diane could tame these two. Keaton for her part is nowhere to be found. Jack says it's because she doesn't like to look back and get all sentimental. She made a movie and it's over with. She's great in the movie, playing one of film's greatest "real" women.
