Thanks for this post. I loved this movie when it came out and instantly bought the DVD when it was released. After reading this, I went to look for it and found it: both discs still there! Wish I could share it somehow.
Interesting detective work on a film I’ll admit to almost no recollection of anymore.
An older friend swore she would never get “hooked up” to streaming because she didn’t believe it would match the experience possible with an annotated DVD. She might have been right, although I generally found that watching the extras on DVDs immediately after the movie tended to deflate my experience of the movie.
Montauk? I always think Whitman when I hear that name and his late poem “From Montauk Point.”
Mierzwiak? For some reason that brings to mind the trickster character in Superman comics, Mr. Mxyzptlk. Probably has nothing to do with the movie, but does have most of the letters for a kind of ersatz anagram. Screenwriters have been known to do worse.
