Any word on the Army of Darkness set? Or at least some of what will be on it?

Well, just took several hours to peruse the features on this puppy, and I've gotta say, I'm truly, truly stunned. First off, the movie looks better than I've ever seen it before, and so does Within the Woods. The menus are unbelievably professional and the extra features on the main disc are pretty damned awesome.

The thing that staggered me though, was the DVD-ROM folder, which packed more awesomeness into a gig and a half than I could possibly account for. I read a local paper from Detroit about Within the Woods from 1979, and saw literally 200 different cover variants for Army of Darkness alone. Thousands of images, more videos and PDF files than I can even begin to delve into and a whole lotta great audio files to boot.

Really, truly, I couldn't ask for anything more. The Evil Dead II disc was sensational for what it offered, but if the Army of Darkness set is anything like this, I really, truly believe everyone who poured the effort into this series should get whatever kind of award they give for this type of thing and more. It's an achievement above and beyond what I could have possibly expected.

I've watched most of the features on the EDII discs.

- The camcorder footage I just skipped around. I enjoyed Behind the Screams on disc II much more.

- The workprint was fascinating, if only to realize just how little sound was taken on set. "Workshed," was unbelievable.

- Behind the Screams I watched straight through. Had a lot of fun watching it, too.

- The UK TV spots rule. I'm a better man for having seen them.

- The interviews with Sam were golden.

Unfortunately my school has just now totally blocked torrents, so I won't be able to download the Evil Dead I disc for some time, unless it's put up on Rapidshare. When it is, I'll have another outline review for you guys.

Could somebody invite me to MySpleen, please?

PM and I'll get it by email. Thanks.
