Ironically, if not for the the connection to Alien, a connection the writers seem to want to downplay a bit, y'all might be more willing to see this as just a really good sci-fi movie

assuming it's really good, of course.

I rather liked Voyager once Kes left

Harmy is working from my list and has contributed many things to it. I wouldn't worry about him missing something.

The Alien Resurrection extended cut is nothing special. Besides the pointless new opening, all I can remember is some expanded lines (thank goodness for the little logo in the corner during new shots or you wouldn't notice).

For example:

Ripley is asking if the scientists work for Weyland-Yutani. In the theatrical cut, they mention that it went under a long time ago. In the extended they add the line "They were bought out by Walmart."

I've not seen the movie since I started liking Joss Whedon, so its possible that all of these expanded lines are just Joss showing through the awfulness they covered his script in.

Calm down man, no need to say it twice. ;-)

i'm using the 6.1 DTS-HD tracks as a basis for the audio, but it will be a new mix due to all the extra elements and edits. The rear centre channel is probably the lamest channel i have ever heard in a 6.1 mix. there are only about 4 times thought the whole movie that any effects come out of the channel and that is only a split second effect. Plus the rear left/right channels are pretty lame too, with really hard music edit cuts that just suddenly come in, or ambient effects that just suddenly stop for no reason. This mix is going to be ultra surround sound. Due to the nature of this edit there is no way i can use the theatrical PCM tracks

The blu-ray version will be a BD-25. The sound mix will be a DTS-HD 6.1 mix on the blu-ray and a AC3 5.1 mix on the DVDs. When i say "ultra surround" i mean a mix that actually utilises all 7 speakers instead of just some music and sound effects now and then.

BREAKING NEWS

Musftafar

The traitorous Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi, recently removed from command when the Jedi plot to overthrow the government was revealed, has murdered General Anakin Skywalker and Senator Padme Amidala of Naboo while escaping arrest. A period of mourning has been declared on Naboo, and Emperor Palpatine, himself a native of Naboo, has issued a statement expressing his sorrow at losing two of his closest friends. The killer's whereabouts are still unknown, but he will be brought to justice.

 

 

 

So yeah, probably because he was officially dead.

Anyway. Im currently working on an all-in-one Saga 6 movies in 4 hrs cut. And its just somewhat frustrating to deal with some of the connective tissue that isn't all that important.

I have to wonder if there was something behind-the-scenes that finally did him in.  Last time I'd checked the thread he wasn't banned.

Hey, i don't know much about dvds, but, this plays in region 4 players? If yes or no, anyway, send me a pm.

And the whole thing is interlaced to heck.

Bullets to any part of the body kill most bad guys, but main characters aren't even phased by it.

A man with a troubled past, including incest with a younger sister and the murder of a woman, travels to an isolated countryside town in Nagano. There a local who mistakes him for a famous television actor shows him the town's sites, including a strip bar in which the performers remove Heian era costumes. The film's narrative is in an allegorical and disjointed manner with reference to Buddhist concepts.

I Dl'd what I thought was Harmy's from what looked  like a Polish file hosting site.  Watching with my kids and was very surprised when Ben took Luke to view Mos Eisly from afar, Ben had some very CHOICE words to describe Mos that I wasn't too happy to have slinging past my 4 yr old.  Anyone know which version that is and if I can expect more surprises like that?

I recall that being claimed as well, definitely. Not sure where it was. Or if it was true at all.

I used to love watching Alderaan being destroyed frame-by-frame. The laser blast from the DS  splinters and reaches around the planet almost like fingers. Very cool effect. I dunno if it's the same in the SE. I was using the original VHS.

A widow is forced to cope with the loss of her husband when an alien visits Earth and requests her help. The alien must make it to his rendezvous point within three days or he will die. As they travel across the country the US government pursues them, while the woman and alien learn more about each other.

As such, remember that the Nostromo was essentially a mining/transport ship, whereas the Prometheus is a heavily-funded research vessel.  Of course the technology onboard the Prometheus would be newer and more expensive than the technology onboard a ship whose sole purpose is to haul shit from point A to point B.

MMMMM, Alien-y.

Times New Roman is so freaking close. I traced over the logo for the improved Returning to Jedi logo, and its only really off by a few pixels when you get the right kerning.

Went to Bike Week in Daytona this week. We didn't have bikes, but it was so much fun, we came back and bought some.



This is my 2008 Harley-Davidson LX 883C Sportster. I drove it back from the dealership, an almost two hour drive. I'm worn out. And covered in bugs.

Also, at Bike Week I was disappointed that pretty much everything was vulgar, so I'm thinking about making some Nerd Biker stickers or something. I have several ideas, I'll start up a thread when I've got them more finalized.
