Internet Life  in February of 2002. In that column, Ebert says that he would like to hear what people who aren&#8217;t being paid by the movie-makers think about movies. He recommends taking the &#8220;alternate audio tracks&#8221; on DVDs one step further.<\/p>\n<p \/>\n<p>That&#8217;s where DVD Tracks began.

Then you can hear what someone else thought about the movie you are watching.  It&#8217;s a kind of neat idea, almost like blogging a movie. I just don&#8217;t think I could do a commentary for a whole movie.  I would probably get bored halfway through or annoyed with my inane comments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I heard about this on NPR&#8217;s On The Media a few weeks ago and thought it sounded pretty cool.
