Blade Runner Covers

Great cover ideas, love them all...

Dark Jedi, is your newer version of BR released anywhere yet?
I'd love to get that version you did with new menus.

p.s. i downloaded, a month or so ago, what was supposed to be the
orig thatrical release of BR on dvd, but it turned out to be the
Criterion LD release. I've since purchased the original LD release,
but my Pioneer CLD-704 is in storage in NYC. Someday i'll perfect
my own release of this disc.

Dark Jedi, thanks so much for the reply. Maybe i'll grab the version on the newsgroups for the
heck of it, until your NEW version gets a release. If u need it uploaded to www.myspleen.com,
drop me a line.

I have a feeling your current NG version is better than what i grabbed from MySpleen
some time ago.

The US theatrical cut i grabbed last nite has very cheesy menus, so i might just rip it
and make better menus/chapters myself.

I also recenly grabbed both of the Blade Runner documentaries in xvid or divx format,
and have made VCD's of them. Now i'm hoping to locate artwork for at least the
BBC doc 'On The Edge Of Blade Runner', which is excellent.

Thanks,

Win

Well, in response to the versions question, i grabbed this from www.avsforum.com, so i wouldnt
have to type it. ;-)

American Theatrical Cut:
- Decard voice-overs
- No unicorn dream
- happy ending

European Theatrical Cut (the version primarily available on home video until the Directors Cut):
- Decard voice-overs
- Extra snippets of violence
- No unicorn dream
- happy ending

Director's Cut:
- No voice-overs
- No extra snippets of violence
- Unicorn dream
- No happy ending

In reading the excellent book 'Future Noir: The Making Of Blade Runner' by Paul M. Sammon, i learned that
the only diff between the US cut and the Int cut is approx 14 seconds of violence.


And of course the Work Print, which i've never seen, but have read about quite a bit.

Hi folks, just joined after reading for a bit. As far as Blade Runner goes,
I have a criterion LD to DVD transfer, from Myspleen, and i just grabbed
a dvd ofthe Embassy LD. This would be the orig us theatrical cut. It was
posted in a newsgroup, just noticed it last nite.

Does nayone know if a cover exists anywhere for the us theatrical
cut of BR? Or perhaps the excellent 'On The Edge Of Blade Runner'
documentary?

thanks,

Win

p.s. I also noticed a DarkJedi criterion release in the newsgroups. Is this
the same as what i grabbed from Myspleen, or is it possibly better?
