I might have left it on, but I had invited some friends who love commentary, and the one question every five minutes was annoyingly slow, so we watched the regular commentary, which was quite good.

For some reason, even though I kept restarting the BD-live from the menu, I didn't get the update until right at time, by the time it got started, it was five minutes into the movie. Why did they wait until the last possible second to send out the update? That was kinda dumb. Also, the whole register/login process was a pain, they should try to streamline that a bit.

Perhaps more can be done in the future, but I agree, it didn't feel "live". It felt scripted. Perhaps if they had screened some good fan comments and put them on the screen, that would have been better. Still, it's hard to complain about free extra content.

Better luck next time; we'll see how Chris Nolan does with TDK.]]>Nov 25th 2008 1:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/24/hellboy-ii-bd-live-directors-chat-event-recap/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/24/hellboy-ii-bd-live-directors-chat-event-recap/Nov 26th 2008 4:47AM
