This is all beginning to sound really exciting
Jonno - your other archives will go out tonight, though if Triffid is hunting down another "Director and His Work" documentary - I'm sure that will be better than the one I found, the last 30 seconds and credits are missing and the quality could be better.
*REALLY* impressed with the "new" Evolution that this thread has brought to fruition ! It is interesting how everyone seemed to gravitate towards it at the same time, but I guess that was meant to be ! The picture is definitely as good as I saw it during the broadcast - sound wise, spot-on.
I'm trying to throw together some kick ass menus, a la Mother booting up, but the time that this takes could well be prohibitive. As I've discussed with Jonno and agree with him, just plain, classy menus would probably be most de riguer. I'm happy to help in anyway I can. I'm sure Ash595 will be able to wrestle up some kick-ass cover/s so we all seem to be playing to our strengths.
Welcome tb1971, a valuable addition to the team as triffid before you ! You sound like you have some wicked material and it was great reading your memories of Alien War. God, I want to do it again NOW !!! I'm presuming Mark Kermode is walking through Alien War at the start of the documentary ? If the "insurance" story is to be believed then surely they could have set up elsewhere just as easily, the queues were always snaking around the bottom of the Trocadero and it was always fun to wait for people to explode out of the final hatch and normally land in a huge heap on the floor having gone through the "experience". I now distinctly remember the lift finale and the dropship - IT WAS SOOOO GOOD ! I remember a friend I took to it (having done it myself) who thought the Aliens were some kind of hologram or projection - so I made sure he was in the seat in the dropship where he was most sure to find that *not* to be true !
Keep on keeping on guys...
