Well, I just watched Pirates AWE and enjoyed it once again. I bought the 2 Disc edition at Best Buy so that I could get an extra bonus disk offered there for free! :sohappy:
I was wondering if anyone else who has the DVD is looking for commentary but cannot find one. Am I just looking in the wrong place or did they not make one for this DVD. Any ideas? Thanks!

I also bought the two disc one at BestBuy so that I could get the Teague figure.

I thought I heard the commentary was only on the "special" 2 disc version from WalMart. I could be wrong though.

It is definitely frustrating that they make so many exclusive versions!

Yeah, there is no audio commentary on either version.

That's a shame. I was really hoping for another one by Keira Knightley because she was hilarious on the Black Pearl DVD.

I hear there is a "Pirates FAQ" section that attempts to answer some questions and try to make up for the lack of a commentary.

I haven't heard what deal Wal-Mart is doing.

Anyone know when the Annual Passholders can expect they're Pirates 3 DVD and Frame Set in the mail? :shrug:

I am really enjoying the DVD right now. The movie's great, and the special features were really facinating. Is there any word on how well they're selling right now?

Well, a day after the DVD was released I already saw a trailer that said it was the #1 selling DVD.

Does the DVD have a specially made short film? Something named along the lines of "Matrimony in the Brethren Court" or something like that?

I heard it somewhere, but other places don't mention it.

There seems to be a lot of discrepancy in the descriptions of the features of the DVDs for some odd reason. :shrug:

I'm actually kinda disappointed with the DVD extras. There isn't a lot of cast interviews/behind the scenes stuff. It's all special effects and how they did it.

My favorite parts: the bloopers (love seeing the actors mess around and have fun being themselves), the Tale of Many Jacks (it's all about Jack, need I say more?), and The Maelstrom (seeing them film inside the warehouse).

The Curse of the Black Pearl DVD had a ton of extras, including DVD-ROM features.

It seems a lot of DVDs are getting away from those exclusive computer features. I wonder why. :shrug:

But I'm dying to know: can anyone tell me if there is or was supposed to be a short film made exclusively for this DVD? I read it some places, yet other places didn't mention it at all.

It seems that way to me too. That's a shame really, because the special features were the main reason why I got a DVD player in the first place.:lol:

I think I have your answer. I was looking at the sneak peaks on the DVD and and watched the advertisement for the first two movies coming out on blue-ray. It advertised a new special feature for a virtual liar's dice game which has interactive footage of the pirates from the movie ( namely Marty, Pintel, and a bunch of the extras ) playing the game.

No, that's not it.

I read specifically it was a special short film made exclusively for the DVD. It was called something like "Matrimony in the Brethren Court," or something along those lines.

Does anyone know what I'm refering to?

I watched a few minutes of a Brethren Court thing on the DVD.
It talks about each Pirate Lord and tells their story.
Is that what you're talking about?

I don't know.

I've been left in the dark because I'm still waiting for Disney to send me the DVD along with the free frame set.

I can't remember where I read it because unfortunately I kept reading so many different things from various sources about the special features.

But from the way it sounded, it was an actual short film with an original story. :shrug:

I assumed it had something to do with the relationship of Will and Elizabeth. :shrug:

Has anyone else read about it or know what I'm talking about?

As someone who is POTC obsessed, I am a little disappointed in the extras...I think it's awful there are no commentaries....And I can't stand the FAQ sheet...I've never seen that in a dvd before...I don't need anyone to explain the movie to me, I get it...
I just think for the end of a trilogy, the extras were a little lame.
I have both the regular 2-disc and the Blu-ray....The film does look gorgeous in Blu-Ray.

You might have got it, but a lot of people were confused with the movie. That's why they added the FAQ sheet.

I agree...the extras are dissapointing.

They're probably holding on to more extras for the special super platinum extended collectors edition dvds. :rolleyes:
