The Movie about making a movie about making a movie, was a Stanley Kubrick directed film for his series of movies featuring recursion that make little sense. The commentary was done between him and Albert Broccoli.
Commentary[edit]
Kubrick: Okay, we begin in my car over here.
Albert: Yes we do.
Kubrick: You can see me turn the key I got in the mail from that Ford contest.
Albert: I'm right next to Kubrick here.
Kubrick: Yes you are.
Albert: At this point we see you stepping on the pedal.
Kubrick: If you look closely you can see me driving several miles over the speed limit.
Albert: Yes you were.
Kubrick: Okay, we're pulling into the studio here filming the car of the director representing me and Al filming another representation of me and Al.
Albert: Quite.
Kubrick: We're now on foot moving to the studio.
Albert: You can see that Jimmy the sound man has an unsteady hand here.
Kubrick: That Jimmy, always with the Parkinsons.
Albert: He is quite a card.
Kubrick: Oh, here's the part where we're preparing the cameramen for the scene where we have the scene of the cameraman filming Tom Cruise.
Albert: Bill the cameraman was always bitching. You can see him do that here.
Kubrick: I know films are supposed to be dramatic, but this is a documentary and so there is no excuse for being a whiny little bitch.
Albert: Quite.
Kubrick: Okay, he's filming the scene of the scene with Johnny the sound manager. He's losing his touch with his Alzheimer's and all.
Albert: Yesterday I heard he tried to eat the boom mic because he thought it was a lolipop.
Kubrick: Yes he did.
Albert: It wasn't planned that Bill would smash his camera into Tom's face in this scene.
Kubrick: Luckily security took care of his asshattery right...here.
Albert: Quite.
Kubrick: If you look behind the greenscreen the cameramen are behind you can see a man in a fly costume.
Albert: Why was he there in the first place?
Kubrick: Indeed.
Albert: Here's where we film the scene where Tim the cameraman is fired.
Kubrick: Well, at least he was acting unlike Bill.
Albert: Quite.
Kubrick: If you look to the left in this scene you can see us recording our commentary.
Albert: I wonder why we're doing this now.
Kubrick: Indeed.
Albert: Do people even listen to us talk about this?
Kubrick: I don't quite know. I know I always use it to stuff up all the unused space on the DVD so we don't have to put in bloopers.
Albert: Indeed.
Kubrick: This is where we're going to record the commentary for the movie's movie.
Albert: Quite.
Kubrick: Indeed.
Albert: Yes he was.
Kubrick: Now here is the seen where Sean kicks Tom's ass offstage.
Albert: Sean's quite the man now dog.
Kubrick: Punch the teeth for God's sake!
Albert: Indeed.
Kubrick: Do you think that anyone would still be listening to this?
Albert: Probably not.
Kubrick: Lets stop commentating.
Albert: Indeed.
Kubrick: Is this thing still on?
Albert: Quite.
Kubrick: Where's the damn off button?
Albert: Indeed.
Kubrick: Oh, come on now, Albert, this is getting quite silly, and redundant.
Albert: Quite, indeed.
Kubrick: Oh, there's the off button!
Albert: It's not off.
Kubrick: Then help me damn you!
Albert: You don't have to be so harsh, Stanley!
Kubrick: Don't call me Stanley, Broccoli!
Albert: Oh, it's on now!
Kubrick: Quite.
