REVIEW LINK
Here's the link to my review of Everything Everywhere All At Once... where I barely say anything except that it's a great movie:
BLU-RAY / DVD EXTRA CONTENT
Overall, the extra content on the Blu-Ray / DVD was plentiful. Any fan would be satisfied with what we got. If I wanted more of anything, it would be a list of all the cameos done by the Daniels. :)AUDIO COMMENTARY (movie length)
This commentary was done by both directors (Daniel Scheinert, Daniel Kwan -- a.k.a. the Daniels). This was really interesting. The Daniels talked about many things -- shots they enjoyed and found challenging, all the detail / efforts that went into creating certain sets, etc. For anybody wanting more about Everything Everything All At Once, this is worth checking out.ALMOST EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT
EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE (40 mins)
This was very robust. This segment covered so many things -- the movie's conception, all the various make-up and costume designs, how they tried to convey the different genres by changing aspect ratio, film grains... so many things. I would have loved to have a closer look at all the various notes!One thing that I really liked was that despite having an overall idea of how the movie should be, the Daniels often encouraged feedback and creativity from the crew.
Each version of each character had their own sheet for make-up and costume design.
So organized!
Jamie Lee Curtis flying down the stairs.
The Daniels cracking up at Jamie Lee Curtis' crazy voicework at this scene.
She's got quite a pair of lungs. :)
PUTTING EVERYTHING ON THE BAGEL: COOKING UP THE MULTIVERSE (10 mins)
This went into more detail about the characters and the fighting / action segments. The length was pretty short but it was very insightful. Extra props to the MartialClub for all their work!
DELETED SCENES (14 mins)
There were some deleted scenes. Thankfully none were extremely important to the overall story or for character development. It is sad that the deleted scenes involved cutting a couple universes, but they still live on in the Blu-Ray / DVD extras!
A universe we never got to see. Can you spot Evelyn? :)
Another universe that got cut. This kind of awesome ridiculousness is what I've come to enjoy and appreciate from the Daniels. XD <3
BLOOPERS (9 mins)
A blooper reel is a blooper reel. You'll see the actors messing up, the crew goofing off at times -- just amusing things. Some scenes from other segments were shown here.My favourite blooper was Waymond calling Evelyn Michelle at one scene and Evelyn caught it. Also the blooper at the very end with Chad crying about Raccacoonie and saying ridiculous things while trying to stay serious XD
Waymond throwing his fanny pack in the wrong direction. His reaction in the next seconds is great XD
Huh? That's not Deirdre.
Daniel Kwan about to eat a hot dog, not realizing it's a hot dog finger! D:
ALPHA BITS (12 mins)
This was split into different sections. To me, it felt like miscellaneous footage with a small focus on visual effects. There wasn't any commentary here but footage with some audio. The footage was fun and amusing in its own ways. I really enjoyed watching the Daniels play with / test out Raccacoonie. I can see just how much fun they had.
A morning team warm-up. Everybody feels so much like a family. I love it XD <3
Michelle Yeoh getting a pic with Raccacoonie.
The Daniels playing around with Raccacoonie. It's really cool that it takes two controllers to maneuver it properly.
CLOSING THOUGHTS
In my opinion, the Blu-Ray / DVD is worth getting. The movie is great and the extra content is great, too. I kinda wonder if some special edition will be released in the future, seeing how well Everything Everything All At Once did. If a special edition does get released, though, I'll do my best to get my hands on it! :)
Below are a couple Everything Everywhere All At Once-related interviews that I enjoy.
Thanks for reading!
An interview with the Daniels, Jamie Lee Curtis, Stephanie Hsu, Michelle Yeoh, and Ke Huy Quan at Variety SXSW Studios. I like everybody's playfulness with each other. Jamie Lee Curtis is so funny and adorable XD
An interview (audio only) with the Daniels and Jonathan Wang at the Alamo Drafthouse Brooklyn (audio recorded by Dan Moran). Really, any interview with the Daniels is fun and interesting!
Thanks for reading!
I'm gonna have to take a break from blogging every week -- I need to shift my time to other things for a while. I'll still do my usual monthly recap blogs and maybe an entry here or there. Please understand. *bows*
Take care, stay safe, and until next time! :)
