Hey,

When other people saw this thread title, did anyone else think of that Simpsons/X-Files episode where at the end the nerd-boy is reading the story, and he says, "Remember, watch the Skiis! ... I mean Skies!"

Anyway...

The larger one at a.b.m.sf is .mpg.
if the uploading can be spared a dvd would be wonderful.

There are two different versions of "Watch The Skies" docs on a.b.m.sf.

Xvid is short of introduction by Robert Osborne. The .mpg (svcd, gspot shows it as mpeg-2) one also
starts with an interview of Anne Francis, the leading lady of Forbidden Planet (1956). Mainly because
the movie started right after the documentary. During the interview they show snippets from the movie.
The quality on both of the encodes aren´t that great. I downloaded the xvid and first 5 rars
of the mpg one to see the quality. If someone has this with better picture and can author a dvd,
that would be great. The show was excellent - at least in my book.

Here´s a link to the poster of the show (maybe someone can find a better and bigger one...)
