    With regards to Ridley doing another ALIEN film, I think it is too bad that they are basing the opportunity to do one on a poorly scripted, and deservingly critically based film that is just a video game broght to the screen. I have no interest in seeing AVP because everything leads me to...

    I was kind of hoping "Alien VS Predator" would never come to fruition and instead the Alien series would finish of with some restored prestige by having Ridley bring back the "Space Jockey" creatures and the home world of the Aliens, and determine whether or not they are a "bio weapon." I...

    They can call this the ultimate collection for the ALIEN films all they want, and include hours and hours upon hours of extra features, but so long as it does not include the The Alien Legacy doc that the first set had, it is not all that is should have been. The fact that it will be included in...

    I am not a big fan of "digital tampering," but everyone laughed (at a recent screening) during the transition from the fake head to Ash's head-through-the-table-to-simulate-decapitation. That jump is a bit obvious, and a few transitional frames added in would smooth out that obvious jump. Mark

    It seems pretty clear to me, that whatever they do to ALIEN, the original cut would still be on there, as the lack of the original, non-director's cut on ALIENS is considered "lacking" in the first set. (No matter how many of us give a hearty thumps up to the Cameron's cut.) Fox seems...

    As for DVDSoon have the cheapest price...well, don't you all think this set, when re-released is going to be a promotional item for stores like Best Buy and Circuit City? I know that often times, with big titles, I find if I wait until the Sunday prior to check the local ads, I will find I can...

    Just a heads up for Alien fans that are looking for some art for their home theaters... My father's house is over in Milwaukie, Oregon, and I stopped by Things From Another World, which is the retail face of Dark Horse Comics. Well, to make a long story shorter, I was in their...

    I am very happy with the original cut of Alien, so as long as it is included, they can do an "alternate" via seemless branching or whatever. I don't sweat the inconsistencies with life cycle of the creatures, because I like what Ridley has said all along: that the aliens are a weapon...

    Well, the guy I sold the set to let me borrow the bonus DVD, and I have to say that I agree that it is a fantastic documentary. It makes me sad that I encluded it in the deal, but he deserves it. IF that documentary is not included in the new set, I would imagine that they can re-edit it...

    JeremySt- Well, I couldn't have given that The Alien Legacy bonus DVD to a nicer guy, so it all works out. I did manage to borrow it from him (after reading your post) to see if I will miss it in case it is not in the new set. Thanks for the "heads up," even if it is just "informed...

    Christian- Thanks for that. I wonder what aspects of it caused "rights" issue. (I just kept watching Alien over and over again, and I don't think I watched the bonus DVD more than twice, so I cannot even recall what was on it.) Mark

    I sold my current Alien Legacy Boxed Set to a friend whom I fully informed of the new 9 disc set for a nice $30.00 with the bonus 5th DVD. So, I have no "just ripped off the ignorant" guilt. :) Did the same with West Side Story. Having said that, I cannot imagine that a 9 disc set...
