I'm definitely looking forward to seeing how this series of yours progresses...should go very nice with the Quadrilogy set I picked up a few weeks ago on eBay.


Hey tweaker,

Indeed - the plan was to go for the CBS Edit of Aliens next - it's akin to the Harry Potter ABC edits on myspleen at the moment, whereby it's reinstated footage, nearly all familiar - but some interesting creative choices (way before the Cameron sanctioned extended edition came out) and doubly fun since thanks to the source, I'll be able to branch the versions for "with adverts" and "without", so a trek down memory lane too, pretty sure it's a 1987/88 release. However the quality isn't great, but that's no fault of the source - it's just the age of the material.

However I'm getting stacked with some great material for future discs, the great thing with the above is that it wouldn't take as long to do as the Appendix #2

Smurf - it sure will be on the spleen, though I'm sure there are enough peeps out there who could sort you out with a PiF, especially the 2xDVD5's posse, who could well have dual layers now so don't need the singles
