Well, it looks like no one has had anything to say about this for quite some time, so I will take it upon me to remedy that.

I've got an avi rip of this, but the quality sorta sucks. I've been looking for the full DVD but have had no luck at all. I wish someone would point me to a place to get it.

Also, I was wondering if there was any plan to do this with the audio done right. I realize this is an attempt at a workprint style thing, but I'd like to see a full final version done with the audio fully produced and corrected. What I've seen has terrible hiss, and many shots of exteriors without sound, or with the wrong sound. Some scenes with someone off set shouting lines to the actors (Mother's voice?) that were clearly meant to be replaced later, and the one scene with Ash's head being bashed off where you can hear the director directing. The video work on this release is fantastic. If the sound were done correctly it would be a perfect full version of the movie.

Oh. One thing I noticed in this: There's a scene where the crew goes down to check out the derelict, and you hear Parker say something to them over the radio. Then a shot of the same scene plays from inside the Nostromo with Parker and Brett shown, and the same dialogue is repeated. The scene doubles up from different perspectives. Wouldn't it have made more sense to cut back and forth between the shots?

Just being overly picky as I am wont to do.
