Hello! It's been almost a year since we've started Alien appendix project and we haven't moved much on, haven't we? The purpose of this project was to archive rare "making of"/"tv hype" footage, but somehow we got sidetracked into fan edits and re-cuts of the movies which, honestly, should be at another forum.

Hi T., you are absolutely right.
I am still here, but Meedermow disappeared somehow. He is alive, a month ago he sold few items on eBay. I guess we cannot continue without him and without Jonno, because we do not have some of the already prepared videos. I really hate the idea to start all the work again. Maybe I should write an email to them.
My hunt for that fucking Making of Alien Resurrection laserdisc is a neverending story and I am tired already. I bought two copies in the past 6 months and I still do have nothing. The first seller turned to be a thief and never sent anything to me, the second sent the LD two months ago but the logistic company returned the parcel to him two days before Christmas. They wrote to him that I refused to accept the shipment! Unbelievable. I never met a messenger from this company. And meanwhile, the friend of mine who always made the LD to DVD-R copies for me, decided to sell his LD player because he did not need it anymore. Thus when the guy sends the LD again to me (first week of January), I am without an equipment to watch it or record it. Bad luck?
Good news: I spent lots and lots of money to get two very interesting promo VHS tapes. One for Alien DC, the second for Alien 3. Both contain a trailer, a featurette and few short interviews. The second one also some behind the scenes stuff. Currently I am negotiating with a guy who claims to have the original U-matic tape Making of Aliens and he is able to transfer it onto a DVD. He also have some Alien War documentary (content or lenght unknown). Unfortunately he asks 50 dollars for the two discs and this is a bit more than I am willing to pay. Especially because there is no guaranty from his side. He can simply take the money and never send anything to me. We will see.
