Have to totally agree that the second viewing makes the film kind of bland. It didn't feel like it had a lot of weight to it and would love to see what MagnoliaFan could do with it. Though I just have to ask if he's still roaming this thread: did you ever think of getting some people here to volunteer their voices for some of the alien dialogue in your previous edits? The whole, backwards/overlaped dialogue with subtitles made it feel sort of fakely alien. Is there any chance in the future of releasing any DVD-9 versions of the edits? The video quality seems a little too compressed IMO. If you'll be doing III, new technology will allow you to fit more on dual-layer. Hope I don't get thrashed for this, a lot of people argue here that DVD-5 is just fine.
