I received my discs on Tuesday. Thanx, Leone Nut. Finished watching Ver2 yesterday.
Wow, it's exactly how I always imagined it. All the scenes I've always missed are now there:
Jack talking to the bird, the Alicorn being cut off, the black apple at the dining table, the restoring of the Alicorn etc, etc.
All there, all slotted in perfectly, no distractions. A person that doesn't know this movie as well as we do won't even notice
that shots have been inserted. Some insertions even cought me out, and I know this movie backwards. Well done, Excellent job.

The alternate intro looks great; the way you edited the scene around the credits works like a charm. Excellent editing.
It was so cool seeing all these ideas that have been going around in my head, displayed on the screen.
A pleasant surprise was hearing Tim Curry's voice on those last 2 lines. I had meant to mention that it might work but never did.
I'm so happy you did it anyway.

The faerie dance looks great, that footage from the featurette was inserted well, and I like how you were able to cut out most of the equipment and crew.
Must have been a hell of a job configuring the scene to 2.35:1

Anyway, I love what you've done and I am over the moon. Legend is now as close to what it should have been, as is possible with existing footage.

All Legend fans owe you a debt of gratitude.

Thank you so much.
