Paul Ruebens is very good and informative during the DVD commentary. Tim Burton, however, comes off as a real jerk. Constanting interrupting Ruebens, saying stupid things, laughing like a dork, and sounding like he has post nasal drip. Maybe he had a cold, but it resulted in that "juicy" quality that some people's voices have that is totally repellent. He sounds more like a nerdy fan of the movie instead the director. Great movie, though.
There is no "off" position on the genius switch. -

This track was recorded shortly after Sleepy Hollow (a box office hit) had been released, so I don't know about him being un-cool at that point
but Burton has never been good at commentaries! The only one I would reccomend listening to is this one and that's all down to Reubens more than anything else.

Tim Burton also did the same in the 'Edward Scissorhands' commentary. You can tell by the monotonous tone in his voice, he is totally uninterested in what he's doing. And yes, Burton sounds like a dorky teenager, but I love his work nonetheless.
I've noticed he "Umm's" and "Err's" a fair bit which annoys me to some extent.
